I lived (short term) with a Rainbow Family in Oregon years ago and it was an awful experience. Rape was abundant (consent in general, was just not taught or upheld - not just with sex, but other things as well). A few people stole another person's dog, killed it and ate it (and this was not an isolated event - I heard about this A LOT, regarding other people's pets, mostly dogs). There were some good qualities, sure - but the bad MAJORLY outweighed the good. A lot of them are also REALLY bad at littering, not digging deep enough holes to shit in, etc. Just an awful mess, all around. They don't really care for the earth. They just trash it. Most of them are pretentious, white kids running away from their lives.

Unfortunately, just like there are con men out there using the Bible to rip off good Christians, and terrorists twisting the words of Islam to justify their evil deeds, so too there are awful people out there claiming to be a part of the Rainbow Family to earn others trust and then abuse it. I’d love to personally take you to a proper gathering and have you experience tremendous spiritual joy. But as a sufferer of PTSD myself, I can also understand if you’d be reluctant to do so. I truly hope you have not been permanently scarred by this horrible experience with these evil imposters. Remember: that which doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger. Hopefully you have a new found strength going forward. Best of luck to you.

I had a friend who got involved with the Rainbow Gathering/Family group. He invited me to check it out as he tried to sell me on it. This was in California. We drove to the location and people just came off as dirty and just interested in drugs. I remember the bad smell coming off people from not bathing or using deodorant. I remember our car getting broken into and some of our stuff was stolen. And, that was all in the first day we were there. I remember just leaving after the car was broken into. Johnny Rotten was right when he said "Never trust a hippy".

Working side by side with the hardest person you’d imagine working with, that’s a great take away. It builds a lot of strength and courage to do that

My bf works for the National forest service... he is an off-the-grid hippie himself. He doesn’t say anything negative about anyone - except the rainbow family. They’ve left so much trash and litter in EVERY forest he’s worked in across the US. They’ve broke the law on numerous occasions, staying longer than is permitted by federal law. So this sounds like all fun & rainbows - but it looks like a set up like this in the video is meant for longer than 2 weeks ... which is against the law... and makes it harder for our foresters to take care of the forest bc they’re busy cleaning up trash instead of cleaning up brush to mitigate forest fires. Edit- I see some ppl commenting “who cares about traces from campsites? Cities create so much waste” - my response is this: DO YOUR RESEARCH. The forest service land has been preserved in order to allow everyone to use the land perpetually. It contains some of the last remaining wilderness in the country. It’s been protected so that we -and future generations - can always have a piece of nature to escape from the cities, civilization, and messy culture. It’s not a matter of having a lil litter here and a lil litter there. It’s supposed to be a pristine piece of land as OPPOSED to the cities. In SPITE of the cities. So yea a little bit of litter from this campsite is a bigger deal in the National Forest than in NYC I’m ALL FOR the rainbow family if they had their commune on private land.

I think your insight is super important and I hope a lot of people read your comment. I want to add that I think we should be mindful of how much threat these protected lands will come under as the conditions of our cities continue to deteriorate. I personally worry that it would be unrealistic to expect that preservation for perpetual future use should be the guiding star for upcoming generations that must face the consequences of their predecessors’ environmental destruction. And accordingly, falling back on the federally protected vs private land distinction doesn’t necessarily work when the rainbows and many others are trying these experimental living arrangements as part of an overall rejection of the systems of political power as well as land stewardship that organize a mainstream American lifestyle and housing

You own the land? Who owns the land? It was stolen thru rape pillage and murder. Now the government creates laws around what they stole from other people...but some how the hippies all the sudden need to follow the rules and be honest,moral and thoughtful. Perhaps your right maybe they should be cleaner. But the government has created a society that has poisoned and polluted the air and seas and the river and buried trash under thousands of acres of land...Are they polluting properly somehow? look at the society you are defending.so many holes in your logic. You support an imperialistic society that controls people with guns and charges people to live. You do know society's laws are enforced by violence guns and bloodshed.HaHa and you pick out one little thing like trash in a forest and demonize them...Maybe they should all go back to to the 9-5 job and be controlled by your utopian mindeset. Your society was created thru enforcement, violence,death, and money...you go ahead and support it if you want but this is the only way people can be free in a very minor way...now go back to your job,your probably late for work and might get written up or fired, then you wont be able to pay your rent....embecile.

Hello, I can't disagree with what you said, They pretend to love nature and all but I didn't see any eco friendly thing done there, I often go to psychedelic/hippie festivals in Europe, and hippies there don't trash anything, campsite looks good, lots of beautiful decoration that everyone brings, no trash around, everyone cooking fresh food so not many plastic trash either. Everything looks actually organised, with running water and every hygiene facilities (that's why festivals are usually done near or in actual campsites). Here it almost looks like a hobo community, They probably shouldn't be thousands in the middle of nowhere without trash bins and running water lol A hundred is already a lot to manage but tens of thousands...

Ok, Can I just add I went to a local rainbow gathering last year in Oregon.. it was my first and last time I'd ever go to one. I love nature...I love eco-friendly living.... I went.. and was kinda interested to get away from it all. So I drove from Florida to Oregon because I had done tons of research and felt, it's climate... it's art scene, nature.. were possibly for me. But, the Rainbow gathering after a friend of mine talked me into going to... little did I know that the mosquitoes in the woods are waaaay worse than the one's in Florida...little did I know that some hippies are not all sunshine and rainbows.. It was very unorganized... lazy and parent's yelling at their children. I love the idea of living in nature in seclusion, but the many flaws of this type of gathering... is lack or common sense. It was mostly a place for people to get high, and after my first day there I left.. Now before you decide to criticize me, know I have been to other gatherings...with nature loving, music loving people..such as paralounge in Ocala, FL.. which was one of my favorites to go to. I'll just say that even hippies can leave tons of waste behind.. not all hippy gatherings are clean.. they leave tons of excrement and the park rangers have to clean up after them. So please, if you do decide to go to a Rainbow gathering.. at least CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF.. with that said. peace out.

The underground music festivals on the east coast are the best place to find like minded folks. I know all about the wrong type of fake hippies you mean, some are even very dark in mentality, even dangerous if high and that is totally opposite of the point of that, its like the last place they go is camp to camp sponging everything, and abusing the communal codes. Being a musician in several touring bands throughout the years and playing all types and sizes of festies, i can say you don't need to travel too far to meet real down earthy peeps that do this, and then you can ask where there are local areas that like minded congregate, although there are more permanent and private communes out north west, and in Arizona around Sierra Vista (love that place) but there are also a big scene in the mountains in the Appalachians from smokies to certain counties in VA. Like around the Floyd fest area, it was started by nearby commune members at the inception years ago, the whole area is very yuppie now as ppl has moved there for the experience, with new age hippies and the Original 60s ones side by side walking around the town in tie dyes, its pretty cool to see. Anywhere there is eco businesses everywhere, usually is a sign that there is like minded individuals, i run a solar panel shingle installation company and they're compatible with tesla batteries, there is a lot of similar businesses in these communities and i hope this catches on soon so everyone is off of grid and coal is gone, oil is gone and our planet has a chance to heal its self finally from our abuse from greedy. I've digressed but you've got the point, head into the mountains and ye shall find what ye seeks.

To reflect on some of the other comments about trashing the areas, I absolutely agree with this. I was at a group like this in 1979 with my parents being the music entertainment of their gathering, however, we were surrounded with people on so many drugs and overdosing, the ambulance was making a constant run back and forth to the hospital. There were bunches of them that ended up with STD's afterwards, pregnant and not knowing who the father was because they were free loving, and left the area completely covered in garbage. Another thing that I've noticed at many of the these gatherings throughout the years is that it is more a celebration about not doing a darn thing. There is no contribution to community as in picking up and doing what needs to be done. There are the few of the group that end up supporting the rest that do nothing. More and more over the years it is just a bunch of younger people looking for a way to get out of adulting.

@Amina2544

Ahhh, I see you failed to grasp the deepest of all deep truths, mate. Let me enlighten you: random events of tool theft are a natural part of the flow, when human consciousness sinks to a very low vibe, due to extreme lack of love, moonlight and dreads. It is a part of the process, when conectedness runs low. But as every ebb must naturally end at some point, the tool robbers will either eventually see the light, return the tools they nicked, get hugged, smoke a pipe of reconcilliation and grow dreads themselves, OR they will take the tools and go back to town, to serve some corporate slave and stay in the darkness of greed... Eventually, however, we will all end up wearing tie-dyed rainbow tunics, and making wild love under the Forest Moon. That, my friend, is the true meaning of being conected. Can you see the light? 😂💖💥

I used to do the rainbow circuit. People know what they are doing in that community! People build kitchens and stages on the spot with what is available. They build a kiddie village with play equipment, Leave no trace, you can do workshops- cooking classes, drumming and music lessons, meditation yoga and other spiritual practises, medicine and wild crafting workshops, clowning and dance workshops, building workshops,ect. There are performances and music events. There is a medical tent with dr.s and nurses to assist anyone who needs medical attention, massage tent, shiatsu body work of all kinds. At night there are fires to join and a trading circle that runs day and night whenever people set up things for trade. The national and world gathering are very well run and the elders teach the newbies how to integrate into the community. It’s very well run

Though dirty and lazy people may attend these communes, I was actually impressed with the cook's work ethic and his back story. He understands the importance of having good role models and respect. I am a consertive and applaud his words, prayers, and actions. And though this commune may have some undesirables, I heard no condemnation from him. But what I did here, was his concern for teaching the younger generation values. And really, Jesus was a kind of hippie too. Maybe this conservative will grow my hair long also ! 😀👍

That sentiment at the end always pulls me out of the whim to escape to one of these types of places. "Best to work with the hardest person" because that's how you truly learn to work together. And so, it makes me think that facing this awkward world is what I would be encouraged to do in the end anyway...

One of the greatest experiences I've had in my lifetime is the rainbow gathering. In contrary to belief we stayed very clean. And people were very respectful at my tent.

I found a rainbow gathering in Idaho when I was young and I thought about what had happened to the whole idea. Now I know. The experience was awesome. All the most positively different people all together to be living in harmony with each other. I was part of a group of people that went on a hug patrol and reached out to people with a hug. Most awesome experience. Then, almost outta no way, the sky grew dark on the mountainside of the land we’re all enjoying life at the moment. Below us is lightning now, the thunder is what really got people running for cover, and for next 20 minutes we all experienced Mother Nature at her best. The storm was loud and strong, but didn’t last long. The sun came out and no one was hurt. We all got back to our gathering things and it was something I remembered doing when I was younger. Wow, to see that it’s still going on, well, tells me that it’s a good thing and should be experienced at least once in a life time...safe journeys

I’ll be there this year too!! The world needs so much collective prayer this year!

This takes me back. I almost hung out with these guys when they came to my area. I instead spent some time at another hippie commune. I almost gave up my life and became a traveling hippie at one point. Some days I really wish I had.

I really miss the gatherings, I hope to meet up with them again soon.

I went to a rainbow gathering in Utah which was incredible, it is one of those things that if you have never personally experienced you have nooooooo clue what it's like. They were people from all over the world, France, Peru, Canada, and so on. People are mostly nude but respectful, and unlike music festivals, they do not shove drugs in your face and are very very very anti-alcohol. The music, culture, and friendships at the rainbow gathering are incredible. It is also great for people who are homeless but do not want to be in the streets. Money is not important at all as kindness and peace. They give food, shelter, and expect nothing in return but love. Call it corny but I call it home.

Brian Wilmoth i believe that you missed the point of her statement. Not having to do things makes you want to do more, therefore there would be plenty of food. There would be an abundance. I’ve been in a community similar to this where I left the normal world behind. I had no responsibilities and I was so motivated to help out. I gladly stepped up and took on responsibilities, not because I had to but because I wanted to.

I’m so speechless. What on earth would we all do without mass consumerism to force us to sit at a desk for 10 hours a day to afford Taco Bell? Hmmm.... like.... maybe drink some stream water and pick some fruit off a free? Lol😂 you’re right, we’d die without self sacrifice. It’s all for the greater good of a shit society.

Then go. Follow your intuition.

I want to run away from society and live off the land like a hippie, I’ve always lived my life as a free wondering spirit but lately I’ve been living my life with a deep depression I often hate my job but I put up with it cause I’m reminded by some of the very attractive women at my job that life is worth living and that you should always chase after your dream and that love is always the answer and worth fighting for, I’ve been locked up twice in my life time and I don’t intend in going back I prefer to live my life far from society and it’s drama

The answer is inside yourself. Instead of blaming the world and those beautiful woman at work who rebuke your advances, ask yourself how you are causing a lot of your situation. Try to change yourself and watch how life and the world appear very different.

You could do that in Alaska, but you have to come with tools, clothing and a way to provide shelter for yourself till you get established . Find "Alone in the Wilderness" about how a man lived most of his life alone in remote Alaska making everything for himself.

I’ll pass on that ... They’re the type to steal your 8 ball and than help you try and find it ...

Happiest time of my life was living with the Rainbow in Ocala National forest in 1995. Truly the best experience of my life. PS if you ever go, show up with non perishables and canned goods and any fresh produce to donate the the kitchens. They cook for EVERYONE.

but they didn't show the garbage this people leave behind. had volunteered for forest clean up. and witnessed the garbage they left behind. used needles and used pads, plastics, etc.. i get that they r trying to be positive and all. but i wish they actually try to clean up their own garbage.

Well at least the ones I attended, there was a huge cleanup at the end and no one was allowed to leave without taking full trash bags with them. People went from campsite to campsite collecting garbage before the end. There were people waiting at the entrance, with this massive pile of trash bags from the huge cleanup, and they'd make you open your car door and just start tossing in bags. It was everyone's responsible to throw these trash bags out, whether you want to or not. They'd just throw them in, wouldn't take no for an answer. This was about 15 years ago though, don't know how much it's changed since then

I didn't show the trash they left behind because there was none. Impressively, they sent me pictures when they were done cleaning and it looked better than they found it. No more trash, more trees and vegetation, and not a human footprint in sight. Over the next few months the forest will grow in even more.

Bullshit, they stayed a few weeks after the "party crowd" left and not only cleaned up the trash but also replanted new seeds... I know, I was there helping...

“everybody’s exactly different”

Do they clean up after themselves now? They have a bad reputation of trashing the beautiful places they say they love so much. The impression I've gotten from rainbow people is they delude themselves that they are following some higher purpose when what they're really doing is just partying.

the leaders do make it a priority to clean up, and at this particular event they left it better than they found it, having planted acres of new brush and new trees.

Exactly. Self-indulgence. Refusal to grow up. A higher purpose is to get out there and make a difference in the world. Invent a medicine. Study science. Cure cancer. You need to be in the world to save it, not in the woods getting high
