I gave a hitch hiker a ride coming from a rainbow gathering. In the 1980s. He rode with me over an hour. Traded him a knife for a tie dyied t shirt. I never forgot him. When he left, I felt like I lost a best friend.
You were lucky you didn't end up dead. This kind of activity these days is not possible. Humanity has become the destroyer of Mother Earth and wilderness.
Yes, that's true, but unless you're working at "Hot Dog On A Stick" some uniforms can be FUN to wear, and even "Aspys" like me, want to fit in with a "hive" every once in a while. Plus not everyone "wears a uniform" ALL the time...Some folks even CHANGE uniforms. But if one likes UNIFORMITY---then "uniforms" are often going to be required.
Oh Yes. Welcome home originated at the first gathering in '72. I was there at the gate when we first started saying it=== after the injunction was lifted and people started coming up from the parking lot. Burning Man adopted it, and welcome to it. The same spirit of relief in acceptance is present at both festivals.

I went to a gathering and stayed for 2 weeks after sorting trash and cleaning up. It's mostly about drugs, partying, and the hippie aesthetic rather than real rejection of consumer culture. Still, I met some of the most incredible people of my life there and it was a surreal, fantastical experience.
I grew up in the rainbow I was born 1977 and we traveled for about 20 years going to almost all gatherings in that time. you are correct it is a false safe hood. All about drugs and partying. They never show camps like A camp that drink and get violent shoot guns off all night and fight and stab one another. They destroy every forest they enter. In 1994 I was walking in and was attacked and had my throat cut and was beat within a inch of my life. They are all fake. It's like fish safety in numbers the more people they have lthe less chance you have of getting caught some will get caught but the majority will not that is all it is. Out side of a gathering the wouldn't help you or tell you they love you like they would pretend to do at a gathering. It's a joke
If you've seen one facet of the gathering, you've seen one facet. The real treasure of any gathering is that it's a reflection of how you see the world at that particular time in your life. Your own lens. If you don't do drugs, you stop seeing the drugs. If you're a musician, the music is everywhere. If your heart is wide open, nothing short of miracles happen. If you're in a darker place, the Gathering may be a darker experience for you. The Gathering meets you where you're at in any given stage in life. I've been to over 20 years of gatherings, and it's different each time, depending on how I'm different that year. I've been there young and single, then with children, then with a rocky marriage, then single again with now older kids. I used to party, then went sober. Used to stay up all night drumming or volunteering everywhere. Then peaceful and quietly serving. I've taught and learned in many workshops, or just stayed mellow in my camp area. Each Gathering is a unique movie. My daughters and I have treasured being raised in gatherings and beg to go back every year. Feels like Home. 🌈
Haha well said. You forgot about the pretentious people that act like they are earth saving gods. I’ve been to two gatherings and I quickly grew out of them but yes decent nice enough people for to most part.
Rainbow is awesome! Most people I met were kind and respectful. There are a few that aren’t (Usually A Campers) but it’s a great place to connect with other like minded individuals. Also nothing like those late night drum circles!
@@Audiboowhore dont listen to him. go to the gathering, experience life in its rawest truest form. pitch in and work with a kitchen, be fed, and have a week of not worrying about the confines of babylon. rainbow is true freedom and you dont realize how caged you are until you actually escape. you dont have to do drugs at hte gathering, sure they are there but id bet there are also drugs in yoru own neighborhood, in your own circle of friends, at your school, because they are in every other facet of life too. dont listen to that guy. spend a week in the woods, get dirty, have purpose, fulfill that purpose, and live free at mother gaia intended. lovin you!
All my Ann Arbor friends went every year. Never made it myself. Wouldn't mind doing so now, but I'm moving to Greece. Have to chalk it up to a missed experience...
Hey Ravyn it’s Nadia (you may have known me as Sparkle or Moth we met at Witts End on Big Island). This is a great documentary and you did a great job! I hope you’re doing well 💗
Sparkle!! Hey!! Thank you so much! Yeah I was going through some tough mental illness stuff back then! If you want you can email me at ravyn101@yahoo.com And I can give you my number. I’d love to catch up 🫂❤️ aloha 🌺
These pows are O. K. But if people could just for minute forget who they are and especially what others can do for them. "Happiness"... "There is no path to happiness, happiness is the path". Dalai Lama. If they could just learn to dance, sing and literally share their hearts, happiness and joy...as U don't need anything or anyone to make U happy. Besides laughter is infectious on it's own, it has it's own fragrance let it become your addiction... Peace... Love...Joy... Hahaa.
I hear the next gathering is going to be somewhere in the east coast. “The rainbow Gathering” on Facebook should provide exact info where near the start date (in the middle of June 2024)
1971 ... Peanut butter jars full of MDA and STP. And I though LSD was something. Nothing has been the same since. Decades and a lifetime later, I am grateful for that experience. And one that most of you will never know.
I was and am a hippie but you'd never know it.. why you ask, because being a hippie was never about being a hippie. These people are mostly pretending to be part of something they can only wish they actually understand... They don't.
I visited once as a 16yr old. I held babies all night and did “acrobatic feats” (I was a cheerleader). They fed me pot brownie, elderberry wine and handed me a joint for each flip. My friends and I left with a burlap bag full of joints 😂😂

@@gaylynnpalmer4274 Ok...your response is definitely geared towards one perspective that may be entirely true, but what I would like to know is, do these people leave the land littered and damaged as accused? Even on a scale that you may deem as being small?
@@72drowssap Big crowds at baseball games, concerts or parades always leave lots of trash behind. Why should a hippie gathering be any different? Because hippies are supposed to be cooler than everyone else? One difference is that baseball games and concerts hire cleanup crews to take away the mess. This hippie event wasn't organized well enough to do that. Some kids did try to clean up afterwards, but it wasn't enough. I also used to live near Henry Kaiser Auditorium in Oakland CA where the Dead came to play every year. The Deadheads were like an invading army, camping out early before the show, taking up all available parking spots, blaring loud music and pissing in alleys even though port-a-potties had been provided. I'm all for kids coming to my city to enjoy good music, but I'd like to see a bit more responsibility. But kids will be kids, I guess.
This is what it is all about . I was in a spiritualist church today in wigston Leicester. Led there by my father.the church of all nations. I witnessed what I’m all about. Love . No one knew me, but they knew I was coming. From here I start. It’s already spreading , I am the light all who believe in this will be protected and to everyone they no. And for the dark souls walking amongst us . 1chance saloon , so think carefully. Only those who trust in change will be left . Any dark souls who don’t trust in what I say. You will be shown to the world. Then you’ll no what darkness’s is all about. To the church of all nations no this I’m here to upgrade this world. With the power invested in me by our father creator of above and below. The universe has left this me as they know I won’t be going anywhere yet. This is the promised land Moses hoped he would reach . But after receiving gods commandments, witnessed celebrating of idols . He threw these commandments into the crowd, god had to teach him anger and all emotions have to be in balance. He is now, and is ready to lead his children to the promised land. Peace and love to all.🙏🌍✨🌟💫🏴
Those kids are growing rainbow because the afults are grown already.....rainbow is not skills for sustaining a Life.....Many skills need to be learned to manage your Life.... 💖
@Doctor Whowhotheowl That last part wouldn't surprise me one bit. I've grown distrustful towards these types of people over my lifetime. Everything in this video SEEMS all nice and cheery and colorful.. But something just feels deeply off.
I can't believe you used OFFICIAL in all caps to describe this video. I am the arbiter of all OFFICIAL in all caps rainbow business. It was consensed in 1972 by the Hopi elders.
These have been going on forever...my friends used to go. I never went. Idunno, it's just not my scene, I guess. Maybe I was more of a punk or glam rocker at heart, not so hippy.
When these types of people talk about sharing resources they're usually dividing up resources that are not theirs. Kinda like all of the left over hippies in San Francisco that fighting any changes to zoning laws lest their property be worth less.
I went to the gatherings in the early 90’s..and learned nothing..maybe how to boil my dirty clothes in a pot then cook food in the same pot for hundreds of hippies.
Not that much different then the rest of society. Narcissistic abusers welcome as long as they have a smile and people reacting to their abuse aren't welcome
lol if it was not for thier clothes shoes hats, to the flour and Plastic dish tubes.cheep walmart 10$ each and lol and rope and sooooo on. this would not be possible. but it is so have fun for a weekend festival.lolololol
Could you imagine if 500 Palestinian just showed up to this gathering unannounced? The one thing that is for sure, is if these two groups met in this valley, the amount of diversity, love and understanding that would ensue would be legendary. Not!!
Looks like a Hippie commune version of a family dude ranch. Camping taken to a festival level. Looks like a fun week... They really could let the religion part go.... especially the patriarchal Jesus/Christian variety which is just a bunch of made up mythology anyway. Meditation and love is all you need for being a good citizen. Add music and all is well.
Back in the late 80's I went to the first East Coast Rainbow Gathering in the Green Mountains in Vermont. In the morning I spent 4 hours hauling wood and water for one of the kitchens. Then it was breakfast time and I stood in the line with everyone else. The little girl in front of me got her scoop of food. Then I was given the same size scoop of food. I explained that the fire they were cooking on was my firewood, ands that the water they were cooking with was my water, and that I was going to need more food than a 60 pound girl. I was assured everyone got the same thing, because it's only fair. So I left, and went to town and the Chinese restaurant filled my belly for $5.00. Dunno who hauled their water and wood for lunch, but it wasn't me, or the 60 pound girl. Hippies are stupid.
Not stupid just drugged out. I find Bathing really helps people's thinking and outlook and many of them just don't bathe or wash their clothes. On the way I picked up a couple with Dreadlocks They smelled so bad I had to stop and throw up twice. Why do people have dreadlocks cause bathing is too hard?
Way to generalize. I know a lot of hippies. In my experience they are overwhelmingly brilliant, clean, and engaged. They also tend to be green vegans who are economic minimalists. They might not have a lot to eat, especially if they have taken a vow of service (which all of my neighbors have,) but what they have, they share. I have partaken of their hospitality many times. Sometimes I go out for food afterwards, because I'm not vegan and my body isn't satisfied with plant based foods, but I don't blame them for my needs. And, yes, some of them have dreads and smoke weed, but you can wash dreads, too. Some people are dirty, but not because they're hippies; rather, in spite of it. Or maybe they've been boondocking in a place where water hasn't been abundant. Maybe they were on their way to indoor plumbing and water heaters. But, yeah, take your superficial contact with two or three people and make sweeping judgments. That's always a good idea.
Seems like your view of service is perverted. You volunteered to haul wood for 4 hours then took it out on other volunteers when you didn't get your way? Very interesting that you're the one calling others stupid.
I don't think you understand the concept. Helping your community is chopping wood and carrying water with no expectations that you will receive more. You didn't have to do those things and you still would have gotten fed. There's definitely a lot more people that did a lot more work and received the same thing. You do the work so that those who are unable to work will get fed too. We're you told "oh you'll get more because you helped"? Probably not. So you helped in the first place for selfish reasons i.e. thinking you will get more than everyone else. Why not help just to help? It's a communal kitchen!?
I went in Wa State once DRUGS sex and drumming. Nice people but most I met use drugs every day ALL DAY. They love to trade. Maybe they don't know "working is a sure fire money making scheme". I made friends with some Muslim men who said they were just there to look at the naked women. The kids are bright mostly cause hardly any of them attend regular school which I think is great.
Really the drums are the heartbeat of the earth and vermin love supreme (real name) has been a presidential candidate that’s known internationally. It cannot be any better than this is if you go and experience it, you will know that there is nothing better than this anywhere on this earth
And it was canceled because the “hippies” that went to left some trash and biological waste the event was canceled. A bunch a lame hipster roll playing as hippies. And I am glad they finally said no more.
Hey what's this place look like when they live. I hope everyone's been vetted through the bsa only campers I trust. Even soldiering I was taught the no trace left behind but it seemed like people think it's a joke even when your life depends on it... shiiiiiiiiiit wonder why the bsa taught me that as a child.... was it war or environmental
My friend let one come to his house and soon after he had a house full, couldn’t get them to leave and they stole everything valuable and ran all bills up😂
Sadly, nearly a decade ago, someone claiming to represent Rainbow started actually signing paperwork when asked to do so by the authorities. I have no idea if the local Rainbow community has recovered from that, as I have not personally been back.
Rainbow gathering's are anything but earth friendly.They totally trash what is often pristine wilderness.Cause severe stress to local wildlife population's.Ive seen this first hand in Colorado after visiting Rainbow sights after they have left
My first memories are from Rainbow Gatherings and my family brought me to many! Letting children be free and learning how to be loving towards one another while working through issues I think made me into the compassionate human being I am today! Don't judge from the outside go to a Gathering yourself and talk to the kids! They are very intelligent and the Rainbow Family looks after the children very well and usually keep the kids away from the party scene in their own little camps!
I wouldn’t call it a cult. It’s cult in appearance, but are they demanding you give them your money? Or that you must cut off contact w non members? I’d be surprised if they were doing that.
🫶 I love this we need more of this In the world Babylon has really been eating me up I escape through music and music festivals I think I will take gifts and dance with them
Germs...... eeeewwwww..... did you see that water they wash their dished in? I do not mean to be a party prooper but hygen skills are being applied here it seems? I hope the kids do not get typhoid or covid? 😐
Don't ever look at the "critters" that are now crawling all over you in a microscope....Yes, right now! Just be thankful, too, that you have a relatively healthy IMMUNE SYSTEM???😶

Rainbow gatherings were great. My first in Montana 76, also did Oregon, Arizona, CA, Idaho. ♥♥♥♥♥ "Welcome Home" well before burning man.

haven't heard of one of these since 94 or 95, passing through Oregon and pickin up a couple dudes named Detroit and Squirrel lol, think I was 15

Sharing amongst each other typically means you give but doesn’t mean you get when you need something
Isn’t this the same gathering that got pissed off and kicked vice out for trying to document the gathering???
Seems like vice was trying to commodify the experience.
These hippies had a gathering in Colorado, made a huge mess and left without bothering to clean up. So much for a band of nature lovers.

Resources belong to noone. They are given freely by Earth. Something the white man never understood.
I went to the gatherings in the early 90’s..and learned nothing..maybe how to boil my dirty clothes in a pot then cook food in the same pot for hundreds of hippies.
eating dirty hippy underwear stew ?

Not that much different then the rest of society. Narcissistic abusers welcome as long as they have a smile and people reacting to their abuse aren't welcome
Nice Freakshow...
Official means they only show you what they want.lol
Unfortunately the island of misfit toys sank under the rising sea levels, thankfully these toys were spared.
Grunge
lol if it was not for thier clothes shoes hats, to the flour and Plastic dish tubes.cheep walmart 10$ each and lol and rope and sooooo on. this would not be possible. but it is so have fun for a weekend festival.lolololol
Could you imagine if 500 Palestinian just showed up to this gathering unannounced?
The one thing that is for sure, is if these two groups met in this valley, the amount of diversity, love and understanding that would ensue would be legendary. Not!!
War still is. The moral compass of these people is what we are suffering from now. Gods laws.
Looks like a Hippie commune version of a family dude ranch. Camping taken to a festival level. Looks like a fun week... They really could let the religion part go.... especially the patriarchal Jesus/Christian variety which is just a bunch of made up mythology anyway. Meditation and love is all you need for being a good citizen. Add music and all is well.
Kinda Middle Ages society attitudes…with an income, for a while, but hey, whatever feels good 😊
You'll smell them way before you see them😂😂
Back in the late 80's I went to the first East Coast Rainbow Gathering in the Green Mountains in Vermont. In the morning I spent 4 hours hauling wood and water for one of the kitchens. Then it was breakfast time and I stood in the line with everyone else. The little girl in front of me got her scoop of food. Then I was given the same size scoop of food. I explained that the fire they were cooking on was my firewood, ands that the water they were cooking with was my water, and that I was going to need more food than a 60 pound girl. I was assured everyone got the same thing, because it's only fair. So I left, and went to town and the Chinese restaurant filled my belly for $5.00. Dunno who hauled their water and wood for lunch, but it wasn't me, or the 60 pound girl. Hippies are stupid.
Not stupid just drugged out. I find Bathing really helps people's thinking and outlook and many of them just don't bathe or wash their clothes. On the way I picked up a couple with Dreadlocks They smelled so bad I had to stop and throw up twice. Why do people have dreadlocks cause bathing is too hard?
Why did the hippies cross the road?
Because everyone else was too smart to crossed by them.
Way to generalize. I know a lot of hippies. In my experience they are overwhelmingly brilliant, clean, and engaged. They also tend to be green vegans who are economic minimalists. They might not have a lot to eat, especially if they have taken a vow of service (which all of my neighbors have,) but what they have, they share. I have partaken of their hospitality many times. Sometimes I go out for food afterwards, because I'm not vegan and my body isn't satisfied with plant based foods, but I don't blame them for my needs.
And, yes, some of them have dreads and smoke weed, but you can wash dreads, too. Some people are dirty, but not because they're hippies; rather, in spite of it. Or maybe they've been boondocking in a place where water hasn't been abundant. Maybe they were on their way to indoor plumbing and water heaters.
But, yeah, take your superficial contact with two or three people and make sweeping judgments. That's always a good idea.
Seems like your view of service is perverted. You volunteered to haul wood for 4 hours then took it out on other volunteers when you didn't get your way? Very interesting that you're the one calling others stupid.
I don't think you understand the concept. Helping your community is chopping wood and carrying water with no expectations that you will receive more. You didn't have to do those things and you still would have gotten fed. There's definitely a lot more people that did a lot more work and received the same thing. You do the work so that those who are unable to work will get fed too. We're you told "oh you'll get more because you helped"? Probably not. So you helped in the first place for selfish reasons i.e. thinking you will get more than everyone else. Why not help just to help? It's a communal kitchen!?
I went in Wa State once DRUGS sex and drumming. Nice people but most I met use drugs every day ALL DAY. They love to trade. Maybe they don't know "working is a sure fire money making scheme". I made friends with some Muslim men who said they were just there to look at the naked women. The kids are bright mostly cause hardly any of them attend regular school which I think is great.
If they got rid of the incessant, random beating of percussion instruments and stopped using bizarre made up names, it'd be a lot better.
Really the drums are the heartbeat of the earth and vermin love supreme (real name) has been a presidential candidate that’s known internationally.
It cannot be any better than this is if you go and experience it, you will know that there is nothing better than this anywhere on this earth
😂I love the ethos but the permanent percussion would definitely bring out my dark side eventually
Yall ever make kool-aid ?
Y'all ever see wicker man
@@ktoi138 😳😱. BOTH versions!
And it was canceled because the “hippies” that went to left some trash and biological waste the event was canceled. A bunch a lame hipster roll playing as hippies. And I am glad they finally said no more.
I don't know which I loathe more.. hippies or bankers. LOL
Hey what's this place look like when they live. I hope everyone's been vetted through the bsa only campers I trust. Even soldiering I was taught the no trace left behind but it seemed like people think it's a joke even when your life depends on it... shiiiiiiiiiit wonder why the bsa taught me that as a child.... was it war or environmental
I posted above what they did to national forest in our area.
i want to go so bad.
My friend let one come to his house and soon after he had a house full, couldn’t get them to leave and they stole everything valuable and ran all bills up😂
Don't believe that bullshit
We can do this on blm land .. bring rv and tents .. who's with me
It cost $500,000 of tax payer money for the US Forest Service to monitor fire danger around Rainbow Gatherings. Drainbows.
"official" lmao
They're a bunch of thieves. Don't be conned.😢
Like the white colonials ? Yes, dear natives. Don't be conned.
Sadly, nearly a decade ago, someone claiming to represent Rainbow started actually signing paperwork when asked to do so by the authorities.
I have no idea if the local Rainbow community has recovered from that, as I have not personally been back.
We don't acknowledge any leaders. No individual has the authority to sign such a permit.

Anarchy: no god, no state, no patriarchy...
Anarchy - No Patriarchy... realy? You are already lost!
Anarchy; (literal) “anti archons”
Anti ; not consisting of, opposing
Archon; rulers, leaders
✋🏻
And definitely no matriarchy or misandry
Rainbow gathering's are anything but earth friendly.They totally trash what is often pristine wilderness.Cause severe stress to local wildlife population's.Ive seen this first hand in Colorado after visiting Rainbow sights after they have left
I'll pass!
Kids need a stable life in this isn't one. Rainbow hours or just part of yours dopers and Alternatives. But this is not the place children.
My first memories are from Rainbow Gatherings and my family brought me to many! Letting children be free and learning how to be loving towards one another while working through issues I think made me into the compassionate human being I am today! Don't judge from the outside go to a Gathering yourself and talk to the kids! They are very intelligent and the Rainbow Family looks after the children very well and usually keep the kids away from the party scene in their own little camps!
Cool cult
I wouldn’t call it a cult. It’s cult in appearance, but are they demanding you give them your money? Or that you must cut off contact w non members? I’d be surprised if they were doing that.
🫶 I love this we need more of this In the world Babylon has really been eating me up I escape through music and music festivals I think I will take gifts and dance with them
Not a cult at all actually
