- The Rainbow Gathering 2024 was held in northern California. It was a very unusual gathering this year. But I had a great time camping at the rainbow hippie festival. I enjoyed my week camping in the woods with the rainbow family.

This is why you started vlogging again. This is your contribution to the mental health of others. The world is better with you in it, Star. ⭐️ ❤
I agree!
One of the best representation of the gathering. I have seen many media about the gathering ever😢 from Houston times to this moment . She is one of the best best volger ever. Great rep of the event. BE THERE OR BE SQUARE.
I remember my first gathering. We were going through the entrance there was a huge sign that they painted saying Welcome home and when we actually passed the sign it felt like I really was coming home. Everyone was cheering and shouting welcome home.
Your mother looked so radiant in this vlog I love her beautiful silver hair. I can see where you get your natural glow from. ❤ thanks for sharing.
I concur she has the most amazing hair!!! 😍😍
@@KashiStar Thanks for the vid sister! Was in NM too! Was a beautiful gathering! Love to hear of fond memories of your experience as a child, and see you all grown up coming back! Come to Mainebow in August!
I hate to say but it took me 2 weeks to clean up a site where about 200 rainbows came through. They brought in but did not take out. Hundreds of trips back across a creek to my car , 10 miles down the road to dump 10 miles back..1 to 2 trips a day and finally i had it clean and back to normal.Castle lake 2011.
National gatherings are more organized and on top of things.
EXACTLY!! They are pathetic.
That is because us real spiritual beings are outnumbered and this is not just gatherings. My partner and I clean up our area whereever we go, whether it be the beach or the woods, negative people litter and us beings that care about the earth and her creatures clean up their mess. It's their karma ultimately. Continue the good work!
Anywhere you go there will be some that leave their mess behind for others. It's not right, it's certainly not appreciated , but it happens. Maybe they should start policing their gatherings once it's over so that nobody leaves a mess for others. I took my son's camping and taught them Leesburg it looking better than when you found it. Respect nature and yourselves.
For loving earth you would think they would clean up after themselves.
Good work. You captured the magic. While this gathering was different we all came together and made it work and that is what rainbow is all about.
Thank you so much Star for (filming) and sharing this gathering! It was a joy to watch and it made it clear again what life is about : living from your true essence back to your core. What is the essence of life? (is what I googled), this was the answer :
The three basic elements for living from your essence are gratitude, connection and trust. If you are grateful for everything that is now, you experience a loving feeling. Thanks again Star. Xx
Watching this video made me want to escape this crazy world and join the Rainbow Community. You can see the love, unity and acceptance of every individual there. Thanks for sharing, Star!
Awwwww. Mama and Hadley. I missed them.
What a beautiful soultribe.
I feel so blessed to see more of your life every day 💛 🙏
Loving your each content KASHI 😊
So happy to see you exploring life to the fullest 💗 💕 😊😊😊
Despite the unexpected changes in venue and smaller event size, the Rainbow Gathering is still something that I'd love to participate in. Beautiful people wanting a beautiful experience together in nature.
Mostly. A lot of bad, too. -CALM volunteer
Me too!!!!
@@juliegeneric042 Not bad, just sick. CALM does not judge. I was there once. I neglected to carry a tick extractor. Surprisingly, they even pulled it out for me, then gave me the piece of plastic they used.
Truth is, there is a lot of money involved in these gatherings - it is a heck of lot easier to enjoy this type of escape if you have a nest egg or SSI or parents/family from whom you’ll inherit.
It’s fun to think we are above it all but truth is truth.
Lots of resourceful homeless folks, "train hoppers," show up. Once they do, there is free food, camping, and drugs.
I was annoyed at having to spend so much of my time searching for food, but t hey are pretty much used to that.
One does not have to go far to find a kitchen at Rainbow. There is sometimes a donation jar. Dinner is served in the centrally located Main Meadow, where the magic hat walks around. "Tea Time" which serves free teas day and night, has a 2 drink minimum.
--"Hobo camp", by whatever name, is populated by some very interesting people. "Nick at Night" walks around with buckets, into which one can deposit or remove cigarettes. "Kiddy Camp" is family oriented. Often, they rig up swings and things. At noon on July 4th, they parade into Main Meadow. Silence is broken and dancing begins. Sometimes, hammocks are available for lounging at "Safe Swinging". "Fairy Camp" is what it sounds like. "Stitch 'n Bitch" has chapters throughout the country. For entertainment, there is "Granola Funk Theatre". In the Wasatch mountains, a USFS ranger on a horse once borrowed a guitar, started strumming. Whether they know it or not, the police are our brothers.
It's definitely not what the original gatherings in WA were. Even those had changed a lot towards the end of its time on Gideons property in rainbow valley.
I love being a hippie and seeing my fellow hippies being at peace❤❤ God blessssss🌈
🤗💙
I am 3rd generation born into rainbow, and this was a beautiful video thank you. Good to see that mama in the beginning, she and her twin sister saved me from a bad trip once.
Thank you family! 🫶🏽
😊this is somewhere I below some day... East Coast 😊 come see us
Right on one of the best pro RB this sister is being real. Not a USDA bot. Great video about the gathering.😊
Did they have to dose any creepers this year?
What fairy tale world do you live in where everyone is just like you? Wake up! There are people with addiction, mental illness which could be anything from bi polar disorder to depression and beings that have real pain whether it be mentally or physically. Some people absolutely need psychedelics, which is a far healthier substitute from prescription pills, drugs and alcohol. If you ratio a psychedelic of your choosing properly, it becomes a medicine and it can heal mind soul body, celestial spirit in one. We are all individuals. We are all different. Open up your third eye and stop putting your narrow minded judgement on others.
@@Tater-Skinz sounds like your problem.
These events are much needed for like minded people to come together in peace at such a divisive time in society also all the music was so good! I was pleasantly surprised 😄
I very much appreciate you vlogging your experience here at The Rainbow Gathering ☀️🩷 What a blessing for you all. I would love to attend one, one day when the stars align and I am able to. WilLiam seems like a very nice man and someone with many amazing stories and wisdom to share. Blessings to you in the upcoming week Star ⭐️
I have a strong feeling you're going to meet 'your person' at one of these rainbow events 😊
I had a feeling of that also.
I hope not
I live rurally in the Ocala National Forest and several years ago the Rainbows started a forest fire and came very close to burning me out. I was a lucky one...several families were not so lucky
can you supply some details? year? national gathering or local? approximate location of the gathering. googling it does not find the incident you mentioned. thanks in advance!
@@jebstewart666 It happened several years ago, a few miles south of Salt Springs Florida off of 19. I believe most of the Rainbow People had left as it was the end of the gathering and a group stayed behind to burn the accumulated trash. Everyone disappeared when their fire was out of control. It was obvious how the fire started according to firefighters
Not a good enough answer 😒@@rcrobertson9563
i went through i forget what year lol i was young but Ocala but like they call it before the gathering and it wasn't peace love and happiness lol they were smoking spice,, potpourri and fucking each other up bad,,i left next morning and hitch hiked to Daytona,, friggin crazy,, silver lake i think
There are fakes, phonies and imposters in the rainbow family and you have to weed them out. Not all hippies are bad but some of them definitely have a few screws loose. A lot if us don't even attend the gatherings anymore because they are not what they used to be. They started allowing anyone to attend and it became a mess. It was originally started by real hippies in the 60's, with good intentions and real healing vibes. Some of us new age cats follow suit, but beware, there are imposters for sure.
I love Will-Liam lol. This was such a cool video! I learned so much and all the effort really shows. This is like a true hippie gathering vs a Burning Man. Thank you for sharing!
Star, thank you for taking us along the rainbow gathering. I didn't even know things like this existed. Such an amazing community, peace & love
I’m glad hippies are still around, I used to go to Grateful Dead concerts and it was a different world, I want to experience this Rainbow gathering sometime but I live in the Midwest Illinois Sucks state.
Wow Star!!!! That was amazing
You have a way of capturing people that is just magical! I had never heard of Rainbow before
It’s fascinating and beautiful ❤
I appreciate the light you are putting on rainbow gatherings as how me and my man have traveled to many. The one you went to seems as though it was a parking lot gathering. I saw some familiar faces and although some things are similar every gathering is different and magical in its own way. There is a whole rainbow road. There are regional, There are annuals, there are nationals, it's a beautiful safe space for people from all backgrounds. Thank you for showing the water filtration, the movie movements, the heart circle, trade circles, kitchens, and most importantly another coming together of family. Thank you for representing it best to your knowledge. Many people who nowadays shed so much false information and just so negative without even experiencing it themselves.
This was so interesting. Thank you for documenting an in depth slice of Human life❤
I traveled across the country, even hitchhiked part of the way, to the 1997 Rainbow Gathering of the Tribes at Ochoco National Forest in Prineville, OR. I was 18 yrs old, and it was the furthest I had ever traveled away from my home in Indiana. It was probably one of the most unique, and most amazing moments in my life. Two weeks of drumming, dancing in the nude, using the shitters, chanting and praying for peace, among "other" mind expanding things. It's neat to see the movement is still going, and newer generations are joining the Rainbow Family.
How did that praying for peace work out?
I set off from Florida for the first gathering but didn't make it past Boulder. Then the cops shipped me home. I finally went to a gathering at about 40, in the White Mountains. It was weird and a lot dirtier than anything I've experienced before or after. There was a gay mud pit. I liked the Elvis Underground.
@@auntymarushkafah a gay mud pit, lol, sounds interesting. I went to another Rainbow Gathering in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan a few years after Oregon, maybe 2000 or 2001, but it just didn’t compare to my Oregon experience in 97
@@johnsmithers5686 There was also a golf course and warring Hari Krishna factions. I engaged in compulsive hand washing. I kind of wish I'd made it to the first one in 1972, but I had other fun in the Rockies.
"dancing in tbe nude" 😅@@auntymarushkafah
This was a really good vlog, I was thoroughly entertained the whole time. Thanks for sharing.❤
please everyone do not forget what the rainbow gatherings are all about
As I get older I find my self in nature more and more. ❤
Yeah, I find myself connecting to nature more than ever before. 🍀
Me too. Nature gets me.
And CARING for nature!!! Taking nothing but photos, leaving nothing but footprints.
@@cathylindeboo.9598 And growing some plants and flowers. You can talk to them telepathically and outloud every day and develop an uplifting bond with them. You can even tell them your woes and they patiently listen and care.
@@websurfer5772 that sounds lovely, worth a try!!
Woohoo!! So happy to see you have a new upload to bless us with. 😊😊😊
Also think so!
I was there. I give the Rainbow Council all the credit in the world, they took a difficult situation and made it work! Rainbow forever!
Love watching your hula hooping. It’s magical. 😊
Yeahh such mouroun or souroun
These events fluctuate..... They breathe.... Sometimes they are so big, no one knows what to do... But then they get down to the core individuals... The ones that really believe in the event... And that's what you have this year... These people have found strength through diversity.... And when you do it's hard to let go .... We are the apotheosis of George Washington..... These festivals and parties, it's basically how this country was formed.. nowhere in the world does communism exist like it does in our country.. our constitution protects our brand of communism.... When we leave these events we want to share with the rest of the world the love , camaraderie and unity with the rest of the world... These Dynamics have made a huge difference in our society as a whole.. I don't know if they will ever stop being a thing... But the more we grow closer together as a country, through these parties and festivals that basically unify us.. the more the vision we have that we see from these festivals and parties we go to, becomes the reality we see in the world... Then what set out to achieve is done.... It wasn't about just partying.. it was about coming together.... And loving each other...❤.. God bless 🙏
I LOVE HOW IT'S SPREAD THE LOVE NOT THE HATE.. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS SO THANK YOU FOR SHARING. IT LOOKED REALLY FUN
Lots of trampled vegetation. Some cars drove right over new plants.
Leave No Trace practices would be very useful to mitigate damage to the forest, however small it may be.
Take care of the forest, and it will take care of you ☺
Absolutely some of us are the original environmentalist of recovery for us from natural disasters… We always leave it better than we came…
No doubt some of it will spring back up. Didn't mean any disrespect, it just made me remember being repremanded by a scoutmaster for stepping on new growth as a teenager.
A year later, you won't be able to detect our presence.
➡️ With all due respect, a lot of these ppl seem like I wouldn't wanna run into them in a dark alley😒
Yes, I agree, I met up with them back in the seventies, and decided they were rather gross.
thank you for reporting on the state of your mind.
@@larrym2434 , State of mind? I'm talking about how they left the land they used for their gathering. We're supposed to leave it better than we found it. I can't respect those that do not respect Mother Earth. It has nothing to do with a state of mind. I've seen others confirm it from their "experience" too. Real, not a video.
@@edie4321USDA bot
Really I didn't see you there? Forest service bot are ye
THE RAINBOW FAMILY OF LIVING LIGHT. Beautiful ppl. I went to the gathering from 87 to 93. Ran a kitchen. I love you family- Shaggy
Could you borrow fifty bucks, Rodney?
@@jeffthomas5291 what would I need to borrow $50 for and from who?
@@jeffthomas5291 money's not used at gatherings we share.
Shaggy Scoopy Scoopy Doo😂😂
@@KampungMajesticLife scooobeedoobeedooo
My favorite is the shirtless guy in the hoodie with eyes wide like kaleidoscopes drinking a brew talking about having no desires 😂 loved this vlog kashi! Made me miss going to rainbow gatherings ❤
Alcohol is frowned upon everywhere, except at A camp.
Yeah I laughed at that knowing exactly what he was feeling...
They came to Central Oregon and destroyed everything, made the lake unsafe to keep fish, stole shit outta the stores. Obviously not all of them are bad, but holy shit they did some damage.
How did they make the lake unsafe for fishing?
@@outdoorloser4340 By shitting/bathing in it, littering everywhere. Look up Walton Lake, it's pretty small, with the amount of them, it took a long time to fix it. It's basically a big pond.
Yup. Same in NH. Not impressed.
I've been to three and my experience was completely different. Yes, there is that element but most of the locals exaggerate the troubles. My first was in central Arizona and I was there for the set up, event, and clean up. You could not tell there had been 35,000 attendees there. I was amazed at the organization.
Yes, and they've been doing it for fifty+ years. I experienced them coming to our small town in the seventies. Sos, back then
We need a "Hippie 2.0" culture shift. Something, rhe vibes in rhe air, felt different when I was a little kid compared to today.
@@Tater-Skinz I think they were speaking of the broader vibe of the whole country. Not just as individuals.
@@Tater-Skinz What I mean is, we need "peace and love" as a culture again. I'm generalizing the best aspects of the culture. I'm not saying everyone needs to be drugged out like people were back then. Regardless, we don't have peace and love today. We potentially have WW3, we have to prep, we have to be armed to defend our families, etc. Lots of hate in the world and crappy politicians in the US (current admin).
Truly a incredible video. What a great a experience ❤
What a cool experience, thank you for sharing it with us Star 💖
Hope everyone created good healing energy to the nature in which you laid your head.💚💙💜🧡❤🌲🌲
From the first woodstock to the rainbow gatherings in the Allegheny forest ( n.w pa down to the gatherings in alabama ive found some of the best people ) good luck in your travels an be safe ... Holding it down in Pennsylvania 😅
Omg it was so nice to see Will and meet Liam! Always lovely to see Hadley and your mom!
What a unique, beautiful vlog. Thank you for sharing 🌈 💙 ✌️ ☮️
I love this so much! I need to come to one of these someday, I dont think they do this where I live in Utah. I love the community everyone has built with this tradition!
I enjoyed this video so much I can’t even tell you. I could go into specifics, about moments and different topics, etc. But I think I’ll just keep it at that. I enjoyed this video tremendously. Thanks for sharing, Star.
I send all my positive vibrations to the Rainbow🌈 Gathering 2024 in Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen), Uslar - Dinkelhausen!
You are doing it right and are on the path to realization! 🔥 ☯ ☮
I really enjoyed this video and your commentary. Keep it up!!!
Girls this is the place to find the guy to impress the parents. These guys are every father's dream for his future bloodline. Then there's the reassuring message of love though there's no money or job skills, and they live in your basement. Gosh darn it you're loved !
I'd rather see my daughter with a self sustaining hippie naturalist than a wall street materialistic fake any day☆
@@riversedges You would be loved !
Attended a Kentucky Regional. Was so Great. I was so Spiritual cleansed. Love you all brothers and sisters..
I love this Star‼️ Thankyou so much for sharing this beautiful adventure and love ❤️
The Tennessee Gathering was a lot of rain, but it made for nice trails. Triangle means LSD.
✨⚡🌈⚡✨
Blessings upon blessings family!!!
We LLLLOOOOOVVVVVE YOU!!!
I spent a few days in the white mountains in AZ. Back in 1979 at a rainbow family gathering. Cool times, great memories. Yet a little different experience than what's in this video. Things have definitely changed. ✌
De fire ' you out there
Love the family! Thanks for sharing, Star :)
Buy 100 acres, get a post office n zip code, and call it Rainbowtown already😂
The point is to live on public land. It is a kind of protest silly person. Private land is not a rainbow gathering. It's a party er something like that. Not the same for sure. .
@earugo2531 ...yes, but also, we learned to quickly grow food onsite, wheatgrassn such, and formed a village life, a mile from the parking lot, it was a way of life that only some carried on year round when it was over . The political message of using public land wasn't the point, it just happened to be 'the old way', to settle wherever we wanted . In those 70ssgatherings
Star 🌟 ❤!! This was amazing!!! I seriously felt like I was there and got sucked in completely. You are a talented cinematographer, specially with vlogs which is a form of documentary. I’m from north cali as well, maybe I’ll join next time 🌈 ✨🫶🏻
I was on the tail end of the wonderful grateful dead concerts, I was just a kid teenager, within a few years, the concert changed into a scary situation with law enforcement grabbing people and violently throwing them up against walls and stuff. Scary and mean. This guy got slammed into a wall suddenly right in front of me, at the Long Beach auditorium, it was terrifying.
I walked past a big room where they had people handcuffed to chairs. But I saw such a community of sharing KIND people for the first few years. Let's evolve back to kindness.... ❤❤❤❤
In guessing this tour was early 90s?
I loved this video. I would really enjoy something like that because it looks so chill & the vibe appears to be one of community & love. Thank you for sharing.🏕🌳🌻🪷🍁✌️💖💫🌞🏞
In the early 70's inSanta Cruz on the West Side there was this girl just sitting outside a small store next to her backpack. I went inside for a snack but as I left I was just drawn back to her. So I turned around and I asked if she wanted to take a trip down the coast with me. She was headed up to the City but had no hesitation at all and off we went. We drove down to to Bixby Bridge and jumped the barb wite fence and checked the Big Sur River Mouth and beach then went down a bit further to what is now Andrew Morela State Park and we hilked down to the Little Sur River Mouth. We had both beaches to ourselves. We left and I dropped her off where we met and she assured me she was fine to get up to the City.
It was months later and my friends and I are on a surf trip to Willow Creek way on the other side south of Big Sur. I was showing my buddies Rampart Range Road when we dive by this hippie gathering off a small road to the right. All of a sudden there is this hippie chick screaming my name running down to meet us and it's her. She leans into the car and gives me a big hug and we catch up a bit while my friends sat slack jawed as if I didn't mention she was gorgeous. We parted and waved goodbye and I never saw her again.
No Alcohol rule is the BEST part! Lovely words describing my brothers and sisters. We wish you well..
No alcohol but lots of drugs! Lol
@@skyasure7758alcohol would change the whole scene
A-Camp had alcohol. Veterans camp and more parties. Always advised to hike to main camp unless you had to have alcohol.
I was born in 60. In 68, I was 8. Looked up to hippies. at 16 in 76 started to party. At 22 in 82 became a deadhead. loved the music. Internal struggle. After Jerry died in 95, I became a wharf rat at 36, thru sober reflecion, I'm a comservative! Today at 64, most deadheads don't make America great! Still love my Jerry tunes!
I was born in 59 a teenager in the 70's I made crepe paper flowers and passed them around at at concerts and other music events (flower child). The music and events of the 70's influenced my free spirited life. I'm 64 and to save my life I can't remember or don't know what Jerry tunes you are referring to. lol I'll have to find out.
@@mojomaxy If you get confused listen to the music play! Deadhead might be a clue! But that's not what my story is about! My story is about hippie worship growing up. Becoming a Deadhead, one female & one male were Deadheads in the video. Then I quit partying & realized I'm a conservative. Then yesterday's hippy is today's woke Democrat & that hippie culture is what ruined America!
Absolutely amazing …. I wants to come 🎉🎉🎉 love that vibe … if only everyone could live this simple community life ALWAYS !! Thx Star 🌟 D x
this was a good vlog!! I enjoyed seeing your family and all the other people there with open hearts and minds. Just being in the moment not "desiring " anything. I really like how he said that. ❤
Star, I absolutely LOVED this vlog. It’s my favorite one. I never feel like I fit in anywhere. I’m a total misfit and this was so comforting. Thank you so much for sharing.
Misfits are welcome at Rainbow; As long as they are peaceful.
Glad you filmed this very interesting video this is the first time I’ve ever heard of the rainbow gathering ❤ wow 50 years amazing would love to visit one day
What a beautiful gathering 🙏
I went to the one In Quebec. Best 2 months of my life!
I hope everything "done" at the original spot was undone so the forest was left as it was found.
Always hippies are The original environmentalist… We leave it better than when we came…
Actually, we supply free labor for small Forest Service projects.
Bet it smells like BO covered with patchouli, dirt weed and regret.
🤣🤣🤣
Obviously, you weren't there.
Sounds to me like he was@@captainjimolchs

Long time follower here 🤗 Hahaha July 2nd was my bday star!! I turned 25 this year. I love who you and your family are! Big luv and hugs 🤗 🐞 🌟
Happy happy birthday!!! Hope this is your best year yet 😊❤️. Let’s see at 25 I was studying psychology at UCB. 😊
thats is my Bday also.! I am about double your age though although I don't act like it. hahaha I really want to attend one of these sometime..!!!
The definition of bliss wear is silverware and plates and things that are issued to you when you had nothing when you showed up
Watching this makes me wanna be a hippie! ❤
1975 or 1976. It was a lifetime ago. But I remember. Peace all. :) And, thank you for sharing.
I just started the video but I gotta say I can love it already
It looks like a great event, But the times it has been in NE Washington they have left huge mess behind. For wanting to love nature they sure dont take care of it in the end..
Well maybe you should attend.
Hunter's vamos ,loggers and general pos do more damage than the rainbow gathering ever has I was in Washington there was minimal . Are you a Forest service bot? USDA bot?
That is because those are fakes, phonies and imposters. The real hippies started the gathering in the 60's when there was real love and psychedelic healing. Most of us new age hippies that are pure of heart don't even attend the gatherings because of the fact that they started allowing anyone to attend and even making separate camps for those beings. They just use it as an excuse to get all effed up and do what they want. They get their karma ultimately and those of us that are real, clean up their mess.
A week with the Dippies!
Is this what happened to the yearly "rainbow valley" gatherings we used to have in WA? This used to be in rainbow valley WA since the 70's. I attended my first rainbow valley with fat Freddy/Jess Williams high times freedom fighter of the month x4, and 1/3 of the freak brothers. Good times.
I believe that the gathering on Gideons riverside property was actually a smaller version of the bigger gatherings that have taken place for decades across the US.
I visited the place your talking about twice.
The only rule I remember was NO ALCOHOL.
Gideon was a cool dude and I am almost positive he is gone by now
Good times.
That is a special heat proof hole for a wood burning tent stoves' stack to go through. What an awesome tent.
you mean that sky light? hahaha
I’m not one for camping, but this event looks INCREDIBLE ❤ I’d love to take part in it one day. Thanks for sharing it with us, Star!
My kids had me convinced I’m a hippie, but after watching this, I think I might be more like hippie-light😅
❤being in the nature feels so good
This is where music goes to DIE! LOL
First time watching your utube…I found you and this and the rainbow hippie inspiring…retired, and certainly not my everyday lifestyle…I have lived somewhat this lifestyle since I retired….Lived on beach in La Paz for 6 weeks this year!
They came to our small town and lake in the seventies. There were a lot of them, and many were disgusting. They'd go in the stores, and take pickles out of jars and put the jars back. Grab a couple of slices of bread out of the package, and use their fingers in the peanut butter. They left the lake a giant litter covered mess. I was 17, and thought it was going to be cool, it was not. They have given hippies and communities a bad reputation. They were nothing like the Hippy I wanted to, and still do, want to be.
Did you take pictures, or copy Police reports?
@@captainjimolchs, I was a kid. Our small town was not prepared for them, as we weren't expecting them. I thought being a Hippie was cool, until they came, or should I say left, and certainly did not leave our place better than they found it, as they should, if they cared at all.
@@edie4321 What town? What state? What year?
--I visited a small town once. A group of kids were harassing a poor old lady until I intervened. I suppose that proves that all kids and small towns are bad.
@@captainjimolchs , What are you saying? It's not at all the same. Other people shared having the same in their location. It was TorC, New Mexico, @ Elephant Butte Lake. The Rainbow people. Very disappointing. I'd Love to think it was just a rough year that year, but it keeps repeating. Didn't The King of the Hill also do an episode about them? Now come on.
Elephant Butte is a state park. I find 1 gathering in 1979 in western NM, closer to AZ. Two others, 2009 and 2021 were 250+ miles north of Elephant butte. Whatever you may have experienced was not a Rainbow Gathering.
--Following your logic, I might draw negative conclusions about Dwight, Illinois and teen-agers.
Ah yes, love rainbow! Here's to Grey Eagle who photographed many gatherings.
I extremely enjoyed this video.... I smiled laughed danced and cried... my heart feels good after watching this video so mission accomplished.
I knew someone who was a rainbow tribe member in 81. She was a total free spirit she lived in a community in Missouri.
Haven’t watched the whole video yet, but 0:23 I love his energy 😍💕wow it’s so pure and very magnetic!
Its not a skylight, that is a hole for your chimney to exit.
I love how the camp is very mutual aid-based. ❤
Amazing¡!¡!!! Welcome home Star❤
Its called an improvised OUTHOUSE and im almost sure there's a tarp involved.. Make shure your polite to the next campers and DIG EM DEEP...
They are built to US government military standards. No tarps involved. Shovels and ashes are provided to cover up.
When I was at RAINBOW in the 1970's their was absolutely NO CLOTHES after parking the car. It was heavenly. I learned a thousand things to do with popcorn ! Lol
"10 days without my phone." So spiritual!
what a incredible experience, I love your video" the people were over the top cool.
If there were a heaven, I'd wish it to be like that.
thank you for sharing....
I have got to go next year. Peace, love, happiness to all. Love you family❤
Ah this felt like a documentry Star! 💫 loved this ❤
I wanna live like this 365. This is the way.
Luvin' you fam!!!! Thanks for this! I couldn't make it this year. I heard the rumors about things that went down but you covered the rainbow so beautifully! See you next year! Let's collab Pal!
