Rainbow Gathering
When I saw these images, captured by Benoit Paillé at three Rainbow Gatherings, it reminded me why I love the Rainbow Serpent Festival so much.
Benoit reminds us what Rainbow Gatherings are all about:
Rainbow Gatherings are temporary intentional communities, typically held in outdoor settings, and espousing and practicing ideals of peace, love, harmony, freedom and community, as a consciously expressed alternative to mainstream popular culture, consumerism, capitalism and mass media.
The feeling that goes along with being in a space like this is incredible. How often do you gather with thousands of people where there are no expectations apart from love and respect, everyone smiles at each other and people pick up other people’s rubbish on the ground? If you are in need of something, whether it be a meal, company, help putting up your tent, or just a hug, then people rush to give you what you need. Children run around freely all hours of the day and night without any fear of danger, and you can dance or dress in any way that makes you feel good. And it’s not about drugs – you can choose to take drugs or not – what ever you choose is ok and you are respected for your choice.
