Rainbow Gatherings 🌈

Rainbow Gatherings are temporary self-organised community gatherings in nature, where people camp together, share food, music and skills, and experiment with simple, cooperative ways of living.

This page collects articles, stories, travel notes and reflections related to Rainbow Gatherings and similar alternative community experiences around the world.

Here you may find general background information, personal reflections, updates, cultural context and practical notes about what to expect, how shared kitchens and talking circles may work, why consent and privacy matter, and how participants are usually expected to help with daily tasks, clean-up and care for the land.

Rainbow Gatherings are not conventional festivals, commercial retreats or tourist events. Information may change quickly and some local circles prefer low visibility, so readers should always verify details through respectful local channels and avoid sharing private access information publicly.

For more background you can also visit the Wikipedia page and the RainbowGathering.eu website, which lists many meetings in Europe.
