I remember young family handing out colorful newspapers with all things rainbow (I know handing out paper seems counter-intuitive) but for me as a first time gatherer it gave me all the vital info I needed to navigate and be a functioning member of the group. So yeah--education, education, education--for sure!<br />I also remember Swami M Om's chakra posters set up next to all the recycling stations--I think we could all help out by making many colorful, humorous and pretty signage that explains recycling, Rainbow principles, etc. It seems from comments above that it's time to go back to basics.<br />I am so happy to find out today that the gathering will be close enough for me to attend and I have the time available. I haven't been to a national gathering since 2003. Can't wait to come home. Lovin' u all!

While spirit medicine / entheogens / psychede...Yes. While spirit medicine / entheogens / psychedelics / getting high can be a part of what we do, I was dismayed to see almost every WantList at the trade circle topped off with the same 3 things: DMT, acid, nugs. <br />As someone in between youth- and elder-age, I would like all of us be willing to teach, and learn, to use these materials to their and our fullest potential. This can mean learning how to discourage abusive/non-sacramental use. I'm not insisting everybody say prayers and make offerings (though it sure don't hurt), but seeing these 3 constantly topping everybody's list seemed like their drug priorities have changed from 'for fun' to 'need'.I - Ballnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342227093153401430.post-8922969269053501632014-02-04T16:04:46.233-08:002014-02-04T16:04:46.233-08:00Just moved to Las Vegas....is their a family here ...Just moved to Las Vegas....is their a family here I could look into connecting with?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13010626253165216518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342227093153401430.post-22397420236279091142014-01-24T09:19:41.980-08:002014-01-24T09:19:41.980-08:00Yeah, most FS and BLM regulations specify 200'...Yeah, most FS and BLM regulations specify 200' from waterways for graywater and/or human waste disposal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342227093153401430.post-74249480950906137382014-01-23T09:50:43.826-08:002014-01-23T09:50:43.826-08:00Beautiful words, excellent job!

Except greywater may be safely disposed of in mulchbasins or compost pits 100 feet from waterways, though 200 feet away is BETTER (100' minimum is Building Code for greywater in CA)<br />.<br />Thanks, Karin - gives me an idea!<br />Anybody out there in Rainbowland want to help me be RecycleBoy at this years' National Gathering? I would like to try to create a number of recycle bins and a regular pickup schedule, and organize their delivery to a recycle center, with the money raised to pay for the operation. All money treated open books (full transparency), horizontal organization (everyone is a leader/no one is), TIMEBANK system where each participant's hour is equivalent to each other person's hour, excess proceeds to be donated directly to CleanupKrew/MagikHat) <br />Anybody interested in playing? <br />Roy III<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686726211076449158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342227093153401430.post-8002268267934419192014-01-22T11:58:56.272-08:002014-01-22T11:58:56.272-08:00i whole heartedly agree with this statement i retu...i whole heartedly agree with this statement i returned home in 2013 after being away for almost a decade.
