Rap 107 - Gathering Consciousness

Please protect this Beautiful Land.

• Walk softly. Harm no living thing. Harmonize - Blend in. Use only down, dead wood. Cut no living trees. Preserve the Meadows; camp in the Woods. We are caretakers of this land. Everyone sharing makes a strong Human Tribe!
• Please Protect the Water Sources by staying out of DELICATE spring areas. Avoid camping, peeing, shitting, washing above spring areas. Keep all soap out of streams, springs, creeks or the river! Use a bucket to take your bath at least 200 feet away from the water source. To be certain drinking water is safe: boil it!
• Use the slit trenches or covered latrines - cover your paper & waste with ashes or lime, wash hands after. Break the fly/illness connection: shit-fly-food-you! Dig no shitters near water areas or kitchens. Protect our Health!
• Use your own cup, bowl & spoon! Wash them after eating and rinse in bleach-water. Visit C.A.L.M. if you feel ill - especially if you have a contagious disease - or are injured.
• Camp Together - Establish neighborhoods. Community Fires only! ~ Each with 5 gallon bucket with water and shovel for Fire Protection. If you are the last to leave a fire PUT IT OUT! Please, NO Fireworks! Watch your gear: Be Responsible ~ "Tempt Not Lest Ye Be Lifted From."
• Pets are discouraged but if you must bring them keep them fed, on a leash and out of the kitchens, springs, fights & packing up. Clean up their poop. Love them.

PACK IT IN - PACK IT OUT!!!

• Cleanup begins when you arrive. Bring in only what is necessary. There is no janitor here; you are the cleanup crew. Separate garbage for recycling. Please don't litter. Compost in pits only.
• You are the Gathering! Participate in Shanti Sena (the peace keepers council), activities, councils, work crews, workshops. Volunteer wherever needed: kitchens, welcome home, fire watch, parking lot, water runs, wood cutting, shitter digging, supply, front gate, etc. R-E-S-P-E-C-T your Sister's & Brother's energies. Keep the Balance: Earth, Sky, Trees, Water & People!
• Alcohol is Discouraged, Weapons are Inappropriate, Violence is contrary to the Spirit of the Gathering. Please take no photographs or videos of people without their permission. Discourage Drug Abuse.
• Buying and selling endangers our legal right to be here. The Magic Hat is our Bank, donate early to fund our needs. The Magic Hat goes around at mealtime circles and with the Magic Hat band. Our power together is many times our power separated.
• Enjoy the Rainbow with an open heart and you Will see the Vision.
