Vision Council Consensus

 

We, the Rainbow Family of Living Light, peacefully assembled as Vision Counsel, in the Mark Twain National Forest on the land, at the site of the 54th Annual Rainbow Gathering, in 2025, have lovingly reached consensus on the following: 

 

We invite all beings to cocreate the 55th Annual Rainbow Gathering from July 1-7, 2026, and to participate in a silent prayer and meditation for peace from dawn until noon on the fourth day of July, in a national forest in the lands currently known as Pennsylvania or New York. 

 

We lovingly invite all Indigenous and Native peoples of Turtle Island to join us in love and peace and solidarity. We recognize that all lands in this region are traditional Indigenous lands, and we invite your guidance to respect these sacred lands in a good way. 

 

We gratefully acknowledge the indispensable aid of veterans of foreign wars in visioning and creating the Rainbow Gathering we cherish today. We invite all veterans to join us in continuing to heal, and cocreate our peaceful village in the woods. 

 

Welcome Home! 

 

Fall Counsel will be October 16–20, 2025, with a potluck feast on October 16, a counsel circle October 17–19, and cleanup October 20. 

 

 

 

Vision Counsel finds value and lovingly encourages participation in regional gatherings on any public lands available as best suits regional family's success and safety. 

 

Rainbow Gatherings happen on the land. Know your sources!  

 

Weee Looove Youuu!
