Reality being of this site was not consciensed upon, and that local family and many others are NOT comfortable with occupying that land which still needs to heal from the 2000 gathering. To the point of NOT goin there & are talking about the other lower elevation site (for a 2013 Montana Regional); which was blocked by those whom wanted the olde site, because 'the trails were already built'. Since i will be here for Clean-up but NOT Seed camp, please be careful where u dig ur shitters this year... peaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259396492310490583.post-56483406283286101102013-06-16T19:22:57.847-07:002013-06-16T19:22:57.847-07:00Spring Council is being dragged out by some people...Spring Council is being dragged out by some people for over a week now!!!

There are lots of areas off the beaten path north of I-90 and West of Billings that I am sure the Spring Council folks will be checking out. I am sure much of the Family will be traveling though Billings, but I can tell you right now the actual Gathering will not be IN Billings (but Billings might be the closest large airport).G-Slicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14396736426581551485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259396492310490583.post-88404303313317430632013-05-20T12:35:56.320-07:002013-05-20T12:35:56.320-07:00The Elkhorn Mountains are full of rattle snakes, d...The Elkhorn Mountains are full of rattle snakes, dry sage brush & "law abiding" rough cowboys that do things their way, no place for women & children!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259396492310490583.post-38060847540357247542013-05-20T12:30:14.793-07:002013-05-20T12:30:14.793-07:00Unless you want to wind up in a cowboys jail, I...Unless you want to wind up in a cowboys jail, I'd advise to stay away!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259396492310490583.post-72964719243617126912013-05-18T11:23:33.242-07:002013-05-18T11:23:33.242-07:00My first was in Montana in 2000! looking forward &...My first was in Montana in 2000! looking forward "my most memorable"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259396492310490583.post-17657484966385076642013-05-16T16:03:05.422-07:002013-05-16T16:03:05.422-07:00Spot on Tony!

I think Molly ...I appreciate all this information. I think Molly the first blogger addressed my concern about the information without really saying so. My concern is that all the reference to "Councils" making "decisions" we stray from the true meaning of the disclaimer at the beginning of this site that "As with all things related to Rainbow Gatherings, this is not an official source of information and represents my thoughts and opinions only. Other people will have different ideas." <br /><br />I think it is important to be mindful that all actions related to rainbow gatherings are the fruit of individual autonomous choices by each individual about where to go or not go that is based on information from wise people who we trust are paying attention; but not "decided" by any "Council" or any other authority. I think we should choose our words carefully in accord with this core principle of rainbow experience by either referring to these information sharing forums either as "circles" such as Thanksgiving circle, scouting circle,spring circle, vision circle, etc.; or as Molly referred to in her message and as most folks here in the Ozarks have referred to these forums for the past 15 or so years since confronting the issue of whether there is anyone in authority enough to be capable of designating a representative to sign a permit--as "counsels" that is to say Thanksgiving counsel, scouting counsel, etc. ...<br /><br />This distinction is significant if you study the historical ancient roots of the words "counsel" and the more recent roots of "Council". The later word was invented over a period of time from early post-Christ and on into the European dark ages as a corruption of the earlier word as part of the Roman Empire's efforts to institutionalize the egalitarian followers in the wake of Jesus' lifetime by converting their counseling processes similar to the voluntary cooperation resulting from rainbow gatherings into what is the more authoriarian formal Church Councils and City Councils and other such forms of collective authority rather than autonomous voluntary cooperation.<br /><br />So I ask that Karen and others consider the significance of the words we choose and to consider voluntarily cooperating with the wisdom of the Ozark tradition of counsel and the peacetribes tradition of circles and choose words that leave no room for illusion that any rainbow "Council" makes any decisions whatsoever so that we tell it like it is.<br /><br />Tony Goodwater<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259396492310490583.post-74489051390816496892013-05-10T14:48:36.592-07:002013-05-10T14:48:36.592-07:00I believe its in Billings, Montana.

They're {the council} also still scouting and figuring out the best spot at this point in time I believe. Mountain climates change dramatically and they want to try their best to stay lower elevation this year too. I actually live in Colorado now in fact, so I know all too well how that climate change is btw which is why I mention it. Other than that jazz I felt i should bring up...I'm personally super stoked for for this years gathering as my most memorable one I ever attended and my 1st ever was in Montana back in 2000!
