Welcome Home!
When the earth is ravaged and the
animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the earth from
many colors, classes, creeds, and who by their actions and deeds shall
make the earth green again. They will be know as the warriors of the
Rainbow -- Old Native American Prophecy
It is longstanding Rainbow Family consensus that nobody has ever, or
ever will represent the Rainbow Family. This is an unofficial
collection of information on the Rainbow Family and the Rainbow
Gatherings, and in no way should anyone who works on this web site
be considered to be representing the Rainbow Family. For the rest of
the disclaimer, Go to the Bottom.
What is the Rainbow Family ?
Some say we're the largest non-organization of non-members in the
world. We have no leaders, and no organization. To be honest, the
Rainbow Family means different things to different people. I think
it's safe to say we're into intentional community building,
non-violence, and alternative lifestyles. We also believe that Peace
and Love are a great thing, and there isn't enough of that in this
world. Many of our traditions are based on Native American
traditions, and we have a strong orientation to take care of the the
Earth. We gather in the National Forests yearly to pray for peace on
this planet. For another viewpoint,
Try Carla's much better explanation.
