Coralroot: Rainbow Gathering's Beginnings, Communitas



Two tribes, one from northern California and one from the Pacific Northwest {Oregon and Washington}, gathered in Colorado in 1972, and that's how the Rainbow Gathering began in part.


Last year's Rainbow Gathering met in the Bridger Teton National Forest in Wyoming at around 9000 feet elevation. {Rainbow Gathering 2008 photos ~ picasaweb.google.com/helianth/RainbowFamilyGatheringOfLivingLight2008WyomingScottMacLeod#}. This year's Gathering meets in the Santa Fe National Forest near Cuba, New Mexico. {Click on the 'Rainbow Gathering' label on this page to read about it}.

This is about the 38th year for the gathering. It meets in a different place every year.

Last year I found a unique Rainbow (hippie) kind of communitas, or togetherness, remarkable. I'm curious to see explore communitas this year there.
