By Roadjunky, Posted Apr 02, 2009

Why don't they just grow up and get a job?

Where to go and be a hippie in nature.

The Rainbow family has a consensus to have no consensus when it comes to looking for rainbow gatherings on the internet, so it’s up to whoever feels like it to spread the word.

Road Junky will be posting information on rainbow gatherings as we hear about them. You can also look for info on rainbow gatherings here

If you’ve never been you’re missing out, so here’s a guide to the Rainbow Gatherings, just grab a guitar and go.

Belgium rainbow Gathering 20 August – 18 September

_The village of Oür is located in the community of Paliseul, about 15 km from Bouillon in the province of Luxembourg, in the south of Belgium. On the E411 in the direction of Luxemburg, take the exit 24 and then take the direction Maissin. In
Maissin, go to Oür. In the village of Oür follow the road going north (Rue de Porcheresse) . Do not go over the bridge crossing the river but follow straight on (Rue de Lesse). The road makes a turn to the right, in between some stables, follow left (do not take the road going straight on), at the next junction take left road where you leave the asphalt road. A little further on is the parking place. Please leave your car there, and follow the signs through the forest, along the river Oür, untill you get to La Toup Toup. It takes about half an hour to walk down. Don’t drive your car down to the camping site, the road in the forest is pretty bad._

_Public transport : the nearest train station is Paliseul, this is about 8 km from Oür, from Oür to the gathering (La Toup Toup) is another 3 km. There is –unfortunately- only one bus per week going from Paliseul to Oür, on thursday at 12h40 (line
6 ). If you can, take your bike on the train, or hitchhike._

French Rainbow Gathering 22nd August to 18th September

Directions in French (wouldn’t you know it) were the only clues we could find as to where it’s going to be. Feed them into Google Translator if you need to.

England Rainbow Gathering 1 – 22 September

The English are traditionally quite crap at getting gatherings together but we have a good feeling about this one.

By Car:

_The parking is situated on “Highgate Road,” half a mile South from Forest Row
Joining the A22 (Lewis Road.) After one quarter of a mile up “Highgate Road”
you will find a public parking place on your right. From here you can either walk
along the roads, or across the golf course. Once you reach the A22 you will need
to cross over the road and follow the Rainbow signs._

By Public Transport:

_The nearest train station is “Crowborough.” It is five miles East from the
Gathering. Although “Forest Row” has no train station there are bus services
running to and from many destinations. To see timetables visit traveline.org.uk_

German Rainbow Gathering 26th September – 11th October

It’s going to be somewhere in Northern Germany, the scouts are currently working it out.

Israel Rainbow Gathering 3rd October – 3rd November

Info here

The Israeli Rainbow will be in the Arava Desert in Nahal Nemiya. It’s a great chance to be in the desert for a whole month but bear in mind that Israeli rainbows aren’t what they were as the whole country and their dogs come along at the weekends and trash the place.

Directions : on the Arava highway 1.5 kilometers north to Ein Yahav, turn west
to Nahal Nemiya.

The seedcamp will start on Friday, the 3rd of October

just want to make clear that the weather of peru doesnt have anything to do with mexico. (besides its “dry” season)
nevertheless if the mex gathering was a disaster, it was only because of the negligence of the organizer who chose the wrong place (between 2 rivers)
.
the peruvian crew has no relation with the former gathering. In lak´ech

thanks for your comments of Mexico brother laksimi. I hope that your peruvian gathering be perfect. We did our best in mexico. The spirit guided us. I didn’t see you at las choapas. Juan

the idea of the Sussex Rainbow Gathering at Forest Row was a disaster. There is a strict no camping rule enforced by the local Ashdown Forest Ranger, didn’t someone check this out?
The site has had to move….

PLEASE someone help me! my brother went to the rainbow gathering in belgium and we have not heard anything from him for a month.. he is mentally ill and we are very worried. his name is jay/ kiri. does anyone know any info on him????
Sep 26, 12:29 AM David said:

Hi Emily, I´m just back from the Belgian gathering and ran into a brother called Jay there. Native English speaker, dark, rather curly hair, stocky build, very quiet and with some mental problems. Does the description fit. If yes you can contact me under traveldave355(at)yahoo.co.uk. He seemed to be reasonably fine and though I don´t have his email he might be on the French or Spanish gathering now.
