National Rainbow 2019

All this is moved from the front page.

What was consensus of 2018 Harvest Council?

We, the individuals assembled and counselling in circle in Minnesota, at the 2018 Rainbow Family of Living Light Harvest Counsel, have lovingly reached consensus on the following:
#1. Water is life
#2. We encourage individuals to embrace and share the following rap about water to all points of light: Rap H₂O — Water Is Life
#3. Considering the challenging water conditions in this year's Gathering region, we are inclined to highly prioritize our water systems. We encourage individuals to donate to our water funds so we can pursue creative solutions to keeping our family hydrated and healthy.
#4. Spring Counsel begins June 8, 2019.
#5. Have More fun
#5 (b.) Good fun is merry, and causes no harm.
In this spirit, we commit while at the Gathering to encourage and practice being our best selves, to look for what we can offer the whole, to give more to the gathering than we take from it, and to serve each other with love and joy in our hearts
Have more fun. Be more fun. Do more fun.
#6 We affirm that the focus of the Annual Rainbow Gathering is a silence from dawn until noon, and a meditation for world peace and healing, on July 4.
#7 All individuals who intend to participate in scouting for the upcoming Annual Rainbow Gathering are invited to rendezvous on May 8th, 2019, at a location to be decided. Given our prioritization of water this year, individuals who focus on water knowledge and systems are also enthusiastically encouraged to attend this rendezvous.
#8 There will be an ice cream party at the 2019 Rainbow Gathering on July 3, hosted by all kitchens who choose to participate.
#9 Magic Hat and Fundraising Counsel will consist of the five individuals who volunteered, and they will be responsible for focalizing donation collection for the magic hat and holding any potential donations until we reconvene counselling on the land, as well as focalizing fundraisers for the Magic Hat as needed. For the safety and comfort of the counsel participants, the names of these volunteers are available privately on request, and we do not want the names posted publicly online. We encourage individuals to donate green energy to the Magic Hat, or to any individual rainbow projects and fund collections they want to support.
