the purpose of the rainbow gathering is to gather in harmony and pray for peace on July 4th.
i believe the gathering is in New Mexico, and it is starting RIGHT NOW! load up! bring vegetables! get on home! don't delay! do not smoke pot in the car within 100 miles of the gathering!
see
www.welcomehome.org for directions.
it is also a good place to learn wilderness survival skills, etc.
yes, there are always crappy people there mixed in with the loving spirits. your job is to learn how to quickly differentiate the crappy people from the good people so you can ditch the crappy ones and work with the good ones!
my first rainbow gathering is the only place i have seen a rainbow make a perfect circle in the sky. though there was no rain and it was the middle of the day, a perfect circle rainbow held over our heads for hours like a halo over the main meadow on the 4th appearing after we said the sacred word, "OM" together. i believed that it was proof that the universe heard and acknowledged our prayer. go see for yourself.
i like to eat acid at sundown on the 3rd then when dawn comes you meditate on peace in silence so that our thoughts can come together in unity without dissonance.
