Daily OM...Intergalactic Rainbow Gathering in Mexico this winter...

The sky is not the limit…

Intergalactic rainbow experience
24th November 2007 - 21st February 2008 - depends on you!
@ The Undeceiving, Veracruz, Mexico.

We, who are brothers & sisters, families of life on earth, friends of
nature, animals and of all people, calling ourselves Rainbow Family
Tribe, humbly invite:
All races, peoples, tribes, communes, men, women, children,
individuals out of love.
To join with us in gathering together for the purpose of working
towards peace on earth and harmony among all creatures.

Rainbow gatherings:
Since rainbows started they have sprung all over the earth, bringing
another vision of humanity through compassion, unity, art, freedom and
love. Gatherings have been going on for 35 years, and they are to me
like a temporary community living tribal anarchy. The gatherings are
free non commercial events, open to all peaceful people, there are no
leaders, no administration and hence it's the biggest non-organization
on earth that gathers all over the planet to pray for world peace.
After sometime gatherings started to have an intention so those within
the family could gather and work towards a common vision.

We invite those inspired by this magic to live as a merging tribe and
find ways that we can actually achieve extending the spirit of the
rainbow path into a way of life, so as a result of these experiences
we can manifest more intentional sustainable communities and caravans,
so we can have alternatives to continue to grow as a rainbow family.

Why experience?
The gathering is a part of the experience, as well as the community
creation, and spreading through organic caravans.

Why intergalactic?
So there are regional, national and world gatherings, so why should we
initiate an intergalactic one? We are about to reach a major planetary
convergence of major cosmic cycles for 2012. Though theories are many,
it is vital for us to realize that we are probably not the only
sentient or intelligent beings in the galaxy, therefore to open up our
invitation be it symbolic, towards other beings in the galaxy allows
us to be even more inclusive complementing the cosmic spectrum of the
rainbow. This experience seeks to be as much a reaching out to the
galaxy as well as an inner journey.

Therefore…the intention
We propose a gathering with a few distinctions that we hope we can
together manifest as a global unified family. We clarify that this is
a vision from the scouts and that all decisions will be made through
consensus in councils on location.

We envision that as a result:
- Create a continuously evolving sustainable community.
A model of a radically creative autonomous sustainable culturally
diverse living habitat.
-Empower, teach, learn and inspire ways to live with less impact on the earth.
-Motivate several groups traveling in organic caravans to inspire and
create change. For a greener and more peaceful earth.

Let us unite, and be the change we wish to see in the world!

Who
This invite is extended to the rainbow family and to all those who
want to work towards the revitalization of our planet, artists,
healers and spiritual seekers.
We also extend this invitation to other tribes throughout the galaxy,
to bring their offerings so we can rise in the light of diversity.
All are welcome, although since this gathering is focused on an
intention, we hope to those coming take the time to read through our
invitation so we can bring gatherings towards a different experience.

How
We hope that those attending seek an experience that can surpass
pleasure to create a lasting compromise to a radical transformation on
earth.

Seed camp
Our vision with a longer seed camp is to create a strong
infrastructure so that we can have a healthy and organized habitat, so
we can have the time and space to grow happily and organically. This
seed camp is intended to organize and create communal spaces and plant
trees and crops that can be harvested towards the end of the gathering
and that can be used as food for those intending to live in the
established community.

* Communal spaces.
Welcome home, Kitchen, Bakery, CALM, Storage , Kids village, Main
Sacred fire, Shit pits, Temascal (sweat lodge), Council space.
* Rainbow Gardening.
Germination station, Seed bank, Veggie gardens, Medicinal gardens,
Fruit gardens, fruit forest.
* Councils
What needs to be done?, How to do it?, Who will do it?, Community
council, Scout council, Nomadic Caravan council, Women's council,
vision council.

Community formation.
One of the main distinctions is that this gathering will take place on
private land. There are several possibilities of creating a permanent
community, be it through purchase or through other agreements. In most
gatherings there is so much work invested in the land and after the
gathering ends, the land in which so much energy has been deposited is
left behind, where a space could still live on and be open for people
who want to live either on a permanent or temporary basis. These
places need to exist so we can eventually live in a more
auto-sustainable lifestyle. There are several lands surrounding the
rivers at the gathering site, hence thousands could live sustainable
and develop, there is a great abundance of water for many, many
generations.
The community will be created by those who will take part at the
community council towards the end of the gathering, where the common
vision can flourish.

Where

El Desengaño (The Undeceiving) Veracruz, MEXICO.

Nanchital river
The main river is about 35 meters wide and can be crossed by foot in
most areas. This rivers leads downstream to the town, as well as to
Cerro Nanchital village where its much bigger.

The birth of the crystal light river:
Emanates from the base of a cliff, surrounded by luscious jungle.
The water literally comes out of holes in the rock, the pressure is
really strong, the river is about 20 meters wide, and is about 6
meters deep at the center.
The water flows quite rapidly and eventually flows into the main
Nanchital river, you can just swim or let yourself go and eventually
you will be taken to main circle.

The Sanctuary:
The area surrounding the water birth is covered with coral formations,
these coral are extremely sharp and dangerous, hence we advise extreme
caution and respect through these sacred grounds. Our vision is that
this is an area for contemplation and silence.
The place itself demands it.

Pure water source:
The 3rd river comes gushing from the mountain, the water comes fresh
and falls into crystal river. Forming a big pool a few hundred meters
from the main circle, this water will be used for drinking, cooking,
washing, etc.

Camping:
Even though the area is greatly deforested for cattle grazing, there
are trees following the river lines, there are also areas where shade
can be found. The main circle is flat and open, surrounded by trees
and the river.
Camping can also take place in the jungle.
Most of the area is covered by grass.

Weather:
December is usually towards the end of the rainy season, rains are
less in January though the driest month is February. Still the sun
comes out almost daily. The weather is quite unpredictable, like it is
occurring all over the planet due to effects that we all know today.
The site is at about 400meters above sea level, so the temperature can
be pretty hot, though January is known to be the freshest in the year
since it carries the north winds. The temperature of the rivers is
quite fresh, and the Nanchital river is very pleasant to bathe.

Wildlife:
Even though the area has suffered from deforestation, fires and other
hazards there are still many animals, that roam in the jungle. 2 types
of monkeys, jaguars, peacocks, many types of birds, etc.

Humble request:
PLEASE RESPECT THE PEOPLE COMING.
CAREFULL RESPECT FOR THE LOCALS AND THEIR TRADITIONS.
RESPECT FOR THE OTHER CREATURES AND PLANTS.
ESSENTIALY MOTHER EARTH.

Getting here:
Main access is through a City called Las Choapas, 1 hour south of
Coatzacoalcos. 3 hours east of Villahermosa.
There are also other ways to get here by bicycle, walking, horses or
overland through dirt roads or trails. In case you are planning such a
voyage please let us know which direction you are coming from so we
can advise you on a convenient route.

If you are coming by bus, ride etc…
There is no public transport to El Desengaño, and from there its still
another 5 km to the welcome home.
There are buses leaving from the southern terminal towards La Libertad
(freedom), though the turn off to El Desengaño, is a few kilometers
before, and from there its around 10km to the welcome home.

Arranging transport:
During the gathering, (8th January until the 21st of February) pickups
towards the site can be arranged at Las Choapas Central Plaza, meeting
spot is at "Fito Jr Café" right at the plaza, from there ask for the
transports going towards El Desengaño.
Updates will be posted on the yahoo group:

By car:
The site is quite remote, its about 2:30hs South of Las Choapas in the
state of Veracruz.
From Las Choapas, take the road towards Cerro Nanchital. (70min).
Just before (500meters) arriving to Cerro Nanchital there is a turn to
the right on a dirt road that leads towards La Libertad (Freedom)
(ironic ah!) Along this road you will see rainbow ribbons. This road
extends for about 45 min until a crossing that will be marked, take a
right at this is the turn on top of a hill that leads towards "El
Desengaño", there follow this road until the next crossing, which will
also be to the right, after about 5km you will arrive to the village,
at the first crossing take a left and follow the ribbons for another
5km until you arrive to a ranch on the right that will lead you
straight to the entrance, parking is available there, the parking lot
is steps away from the Nanchital river. Welcome Home!

What to bring
Bring you camping gear, flashlight, tarp, utensils, plate, cup, food,
seeds, medicines, musical instruments, rain gear, and lotsa energy…
When you decide to join your sisters and brothers at this gathering
ask yourself ; What skill do I have to share or teach? What tools or
supplies can I bring? What project or workshop can I focalize? If
you'd like to donate money that can be given to the "magic
hat"(community fund) but, more valuable than money is your energy
toward the common vision!
As individuals we are limited, as a tribe our abilities are
exponentially greater!

Alcohol, drugs, dogs, firearms, unnecessary plastic. False Ego, Pets,
electronics.

When:
24th of November 2007-21st February 2008

The scouts.
Rainbow Nomadic Organic Mounted Tribe.
We commenced our march on horses at the World Rainbow Gathering in
Costa Rica in March 2004, we have been traveling on horses since then
keeping the rainbow tradition alive in the form of a moving community
that seeks to find the way of the rainbow warrior. We have passed
through hundreds of villages, doing multicultural performances,
environmental education, reforestation festivals and activities
seeking to maintain a profound respect for cultures and the Great
Spirit. We see ourselves as part of the larger family seeking
innovative ways to discover the rainbow path, walk and march through
the earth gathering and spreading our love and energy to create a more
harmonious planet. For more info www.nomadsunited.com

Organic Caravans…
Usually after the gatherings caravans take different directions, sadly
we are still dependent on fossil fuels, thus we intend to trigger 2
caravans, North and Southbound by foot, on horses, bicycles, etc.
