ReplyDeleteI am hearing about negative things. I'd like to form my own opinion without biases. Can someone tell me about what this gathering is like and why it happens? Thank you so much. I am from Aroostook County in Maine and Maliseet from the Wabanaki Nation. I hear you will be coming to Eastern territories. So I would like to know more. Wala'lin. Thank you.
ReplyDeletethis consensus violates one of our most sacred traditions ...its endorsing a politcial movement...therefore it isnt rainbow and should be repudiated and ignored ...>>>.. "Rainbow gatherings are non-aligned both spiritually and politically. There is no one right religious or spiritual belief; people of all faiths are welcome to come gather. Often, people from specific churches or temples come set up their own camp and feed lots of folks from their kitchens (the Krishnas and the Bread of Life Christian camp being the most notable). There are no hassles towards any church group proselytizing or trying to win converts - if people want to listen, that's their own business.
ReplyDeleteRainbow also does not support any specific political cause, party, issue, or candidate. Many people come to gatherings to recruit for their own specific Peace Walk, Drums around the Pentagon, environmental action, or whatever; but again, that is their own trip. They certainly have the right of free speech to spread the word about whatever event they are sponsoring. But they do nothave the right to call it a Rainbow event or claim they have support of the Rainbow Family. If they do make such claims, they are ripping off the Family name. Folks involved in such actions have every right to also mention, if asked, that yes, they consider themselves to be Rainbows. No reason not to fly your colors, especially when you're doing something you consider a good cause and are proud of being involved in. You just can't say that your event (protesting logging the rainforest, for example) is a Rainbow protest as such.." ... https://www.facebook.com/notes/rainbow-family-of-living-light-literary-archive/what-is-a-rainbow-gathering/424359134252877
