Traditionally, the folks in the area of the upcoming gathering take the lead on focalizing the council, so if you're in the area and want to plug in, email me and I'll hook you up with the effort.
The more positive and strong energy we put in at T-Council, the better the rest of the year goes. There's many things to do besides council like cooking food and child care and just getting a deeper understanding of what goes into focalizing a large gathering. Here's to a strong showing from folks in the area.

I am inspired to suggest Washington, D.C. as candidate for the 2012 Rainbow Gathering site. I have scouted DC's Fort Dupont Park (NPS) as a possible site, it is thickly forested with streams, springs, scattered fields, meadows, and community gardens. Free street parking available along the perimeter and grassy shoulders of interior roads. The woods are mostly hardwood, and I have even seen flocks of up to 20 wild turkeys there. DC mayor and police chief are tolerant of Occupy DC movement, why not try a Rainbow Gathering too?

Aslan with Granola funk so first off, thanks Karin,Henry,numerous Scouts and every one else who continue to keep our Rainbow tribes and families informed through out the year! so that being said, i must first express a personnel feeling on our basic yearly National site picking at vision council. As stated in one of the opening statements of this Rainbow site,"Traditionally, the folks in the area of the upcoming gathering take the lead on focalizing the council" this is the truth,the majority of the "focalizing" does come from the local Rainbow families. Does any one agree that these Local tribes should invite the National gathering to there Bio-region, rather than the National vision council inviting them selves and then informing the local families after the fact? Basicly, we at vision council, open a map of the USA close our eyes and point! Don't get me wrong, i honor the vision process, i do feel how ever, there are respect and logistical issues that should also be at the four front of our decision making process. 1st being, making sure the local families are ready and willing to host such a important,prayerful event. Shouldn't members of these local families be the ones to suggest there Bio-regions, aka Katuah and/or NERF for this year. I know the ball is already rolling for the year, and am not trying to cloud the momentum, just some food for thought!!! One more thing, if i may, i am in full support of the 2012 National Gathering of the tribes to be in Washington DC, it is time!!! We have been Occupying our National Forests for over 30 years lets bring it to the streets. Thanks and blessings to all. A
