For the last 30 years, thousands have gathered each July from all states of the Union defending the right of the people to assemble peaceably, to associate freely, to redress grievances and to worship, each according to their own beliefs, in the cathedral of nature and pray for peace. The Rainbow Family of Living Light is an amorphous group without leaders or doctrine gathering together in peaceful respect. Peoples of diverse backgrounds and interests gather together as individuals, exercising rights reserved to all in the First Amendment of the Constitution. It is the people assembled. A self-sufficient community, the Gathering has an economy all its own.
All labor is volunteer.
