The Dates

The Annual Gathering of the Tribe would normally take place July 1st - 7th, 2020 somewhere in an area the tracks pretty closely with the state of Idaho.  I'm not sure if there will be a gathering, and if something happens, I'm not sure how many people will attend due to COVID-19 and concerns about health and safety for gatherers and folks who live in Idaho. 

Personally, I say the gathering starts towards the end of June when it stops being seed camp and starts feeling like a gathering. On July 5th the exodus starts and the population diminishes rapidly over the next few days. For the exact consensus click here.

Harvest Counsel took place October 24-27 in Idaho and took on much of the traditional activities handled by council that happens over the 4-day Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Read the Harvest Counsel notes online.

However, in true anarchist fashion, where people vote by consensus and by foot, there is also going to be the more historic Thanksgiving Council, November 28 - December 1st. You can read all about it here.

Dates for scout rendezvous and spring council were picked by Harvest Counsel.

This year many people are not attending to the COVID-19 pandemic. If a gathering happens, it will most likely be small and not like typical gatherings.  If you want to know who as publicly pledged to OmFromHome, visit the website by the same name.

  1. is the covid-19 outbreak going to effect this gathering and how so, if it does? has a gathering ever been canceled? i still plan on going as of this writing 3/29/2020 but a lot can happen in the next three to four months.

    1. The situation is fluid. Currently (5/8/2020) there is a closure order against more than 10 people being in one place in the Idaho National Forests

    3. The people dying from covid19 are primarily people with dimentia. Primary cause of dimentia is cholesterol statin medication. Causes muscle damage and memory problems(dementia).an imbalance of symmetry and weak immune system.

    4. the 2020 Gathering is in the streets- in the protests - this year-and it needs more Peace advocacy to create a calm informed society for positive police reform and lasting equality change to occur. Peace & Love Now!

  2. It should indeed be canceled. Gatherings already put a burden on small town hospitals. Having a bunch of people travel from all corners to make a 2020 gathering happen is the exact opposite of what needs to be happening. I will be relieved if the 2021 gathering can happen, but 18 months is extremely optimistic for a vaccine to be widely available. Rainbow already has a PR problem as it is. Add spreading covid19 to otherwise isolated rural areas, and the impetus is potentially there for LEO to get nasty enough for there to never be another one after 2020. Stay safe and travel nowhere is my hope for the family this year.

    4. well spoken- it would be an act of pure idiocy to have a large gathering right now- and naturally the Forest Service would be forced to take action and it could potentially damage the integrity of the Rainbow Family- The wise spirits have spoken

    5. Well luckily hospitals are EMPTY in Idaho right now and we would be bringing them much needed revenue. The virus is non existent in Idaho and every gathering every year is considered illegal by Babylon

  6. The family will all get infected with Corona. Our elders should stay home and preserve themselves so should the handicapped. That's me. But after the rest of the family gets covid-19 and recovers they can wait 28 days and donate plasma. The plasma is given to severely ill Corona patients. Its saving lives!! Every state needs recovered Corona patients plasma donations! Lovers of light could save some souls this way.

  10. I had gone to the 1st Rainbow gathering in Grandby. I was 20 and we packed up a carload of friends and just went. I didn't even know what it was all about. We walked a long way and went up the side of a mountain to get to a flat forested area with streams running thru it. Everyone was making these huge campfires and it got real smoky before several people demanded people put out their fires. We ran out of food because we gave ours away. It was great and a lot of fun. We couldn't stay because our food was gone. People were crapping where people were bathing in those streams. The music and the people were wonderful. I am just learning that it continued all these years. What a wonderful experience! I would love to go again, but I am fearful of this Covid virus. I'll have to wait until it's safe to gather, but you all try to stay safe and well if you gather this year. For me, maybe next year after there's a vaccine, I'll see you there!

  14. be sure your campsite is 10 ft from the other campsite be sure your kitchen has kitchen controls with people able to be 6 feet apart in cooking and preparation be sure you're just station has covid-19 controls where people will say 6 feet apart while they're doing your dishes be sure that people wear masks for dust but not to collect viruses wear masks when you are in a circle very tight together when we have our dinner circle we should give ourselves at least three to five feet of space they cannot stop us from gathering they can only make rules which we are flexible and able to abide by should all else fail you come to my house in New Mexico and we'll have a gathering on my private land

  18. This is supposed to take place on Nez Perce lands and they have not given their prior and informed consent (which is guaranteed by the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples) for the event to take place on their land. This is the Nez Perce's official statement:

  19. Of corse this 2020 gathering is run by a Karen! We need a full gathering, we can be clean, we thrive as a rainbow family. We must meet to pray for peace, we must gather as Warriors of the Light tribe. They can arrest us all, that's been the plan forever. We will get threw.

  22. I'm so glad you idiots aren't going to Jerry Johnson hotsprings anymore. Y'all would have DESTROYED a fragile geothermal feature that sees enough use and abuse already. Whatever the hell you're trying to prove just ain't worth loosing a place that special. Do us all a favor and stay the FUCK away from Clearwater country.

  24. Hi, we are looking to invite anyone who wants to get away from all the madness happening right now. Not a gathering but maybe good to hang out with some like minded people for a while. We have an off grid property out in New Mexico, solar, etc. Peaceful, responsible, healthy minded folks welcome. We don't drink, we do play music and we eat vegetarian.
