  1. To whoever made this docuseries, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! It is incredibly beautiful. And sooooo wonderful to have an inside view of a totally awesome Gathering! All the rumors get dispelled, we build alliances with the Lakota, we light up the grandmothers eyes, there is the Spirit House, there is heart songs...I was ready to quit Rainbow, thinking the Spirit was gone. This has restored my love and faith in my Rainbow Family!!!!!!!!

  3. I just finished part one and found it depressingly similar to Soviet propaganda. Over half of the video featured comrades denouncing the imperial capitalists over at Facebook for not going along with the party line. "I arrived in Minsk only to find those imperial pigs on Facebook had spread lies about the russian motherland." Bah! I hope part two is better

  4. Bodhi. I know you will be disappointed in the remainder of the videos. After all, that is why you come to these Groups and Blogs. You are disappointed before you log on. Surprise us and find something you can praise with more of your lies. All of the propaganda has come from you. I am not a lier or an imperial pig, and neither are the others whom you like to call names. I hope both of our comments are taken off this blog. I'm tired of the negativity. Go back over to FaceBook where most ignore you.

    1. I'm tired of it as well. Seems to me that the negativity has turned people off to the gathering in general.

  6. This was the "Rainbow of Rainbows." There are no words to explain it all. Those of you that missed it, really missed it all. The coming together of the Rainbow Family and the Lakotas was a reunion that will make history of the USA and eventually will spread and it cannot help but make World History. This is what our Creator wants of all people on Earth and it is happening. He loves each and every one of us...all equal in his eyes. He must be smiling! I cry for joy every time I think about the 2015 Rainbow Gathering in the sacred hills of the Lakota. What an experience each and every one of us had that went. In spite of the rumors etc., we each had to be drawn by a spirit within us...that we were needed there...and we would unit to make a differnece.

    1. Hey sister, I just found out about this incredible gathering from this film. I was at Utah but heard nothing of Black Hills, would have brought my horses and donkey. Do you know how the split happened, there was nothing in Welcomehome.org? I feel grief for missing this, it was such a flat summer...sad!! Don't want to miss anymore tribal supportive gatherings. Thank u for this film, this site...Such great love,
      Thank u for speaking..🌈🌟

  7. interesting commentary, facts, opinions in the first two videos... but the last video (#5) was my favorite... a lot of love packed in there, a lot of Spirit... a lot of testimonies that amazing things can be seen and felt when we gather humbly, openly, peacefully, respectfully... aho! ~true blue

Please keep your comments to the point. Any comments advocating violence, sexism or racism will not be published. You don't have to agree with me, but you can't cuss me or anyone else out either. As of 6/11/15 I'm not sure how I will be publishing comments. Too many people just submitting the same comment over and over again and I'm overwhelmed by trying to sort this out. So feel free to comment, but understand I may not be approving all comments.
