The Rainbow Gathering is an annual event that brings people together in the wilderness to celebrate community, nature, and freedom of assembly. However, this year, the gathering was abruptly shut down by the police near Susanville, California. In this video, Gabriel Morris takes us on a journey through the forest in Northern California to discuss the history and significance of Rainbow Gatherings.
Morris explains that Rainbow Gatherings have been happening since 1972 and are based on principles of community, freedom of assembly, and self-reliance. Participants come together to set up camps, cook food, and enjoy music and drum circles in a natural setting. The gatherings are supported by donations and are free to attend.
Despite the peaceful intentions of the Rainbow Gatherings, authorities shut down this year’s event citing concerns about environmental impact, drug use, and a nearby Native American burial site. Morris explores these issues in detail, offering his perspective on why the gathering was shut down.
Ultimately, Morris shares his personal experience at the gathering, highlighting the challenges of the new site location and the decision to leave after just one night. He ends the video by expressing his love for nature and his excitement for exploring the Trinity Alps and Lake Anna in future videos.
