“When
the earth is ravaged and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall
come unto the earth from many colours, classes, creeds, who
by their actions and deeds shall make the earth green again. They will be
known as the warriors of the Rainbow”
--
Native American Prophecy
It is longstanding Rainbow Family consensus that nobody has
ever, or ever will officially represent the Rainbow Family. This is an unofficial
collection of information on the British Rainbow Family and the Rainbow Gatherings
and events happening within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland. This information is presented to you by the Oak Dragon School
of Initiation into the Mystery Traditions.
Some say that the Rainbow Family is the largest ‘non-organization’
of ‘non-members’ in the world. The Rainbow Family has no leaders, and no official
organization. This is because the Rainbow Family means so many different things
to different people. It’s safe to say though, that we're into intentional
community building, non-violence, and alternative lifestyles. We also believe
that Peace and Love is a great thing, and there isn't enough of it in this
world. We have a strong orientation to take care of the Earth. We gather in
beautiful natural places all over the world to pray for peace on this planet.
The Oak Dragon School has very strong links to both
the British and International Rainbow Family. We are dedicated to assisting
the Rainbow Family in holding Gatherings and other events in Britain. We are
in no way the only point of contact for information on British Rainbow Events
– we are however one point of contact. If you would like any information
on Rainbow Family events please feel free to contact us.
Consensus was reached at the British National Rainbow Gathering
in Wales, that a Vision Council, hosted by the Oak Dragon School, should take
place on 1st September 2008. The Oak Dragon School extends the
following invitation to you all...
“We, who are brothers & sisters, children of God, families of
life on earth, friends of nature & of all people, children of humankind
calling ourselves Rainbow Family Tribe, humbly invite:
All races, peoples, tribes, communes, men, women, children, and individuals
-- out of love.
All nations & national leaders -- out of respect
All religions & religious leaders -- out of faith
All politicians -- out of charity
to join with us in gathering together for the purpose of expressing
our sincere desire that there shall be peace on earth and harmony among all
people. This Vision Council is to take place on 1st September 2008.
You are all welcome to join us on this day and during the weekend building
up to it.”
The purpose of this event is to bring together anyone who
desires community and peace to be present in their lives and in the world.
We will gather together in circle to share food and prayers with one another.
In the tradition of Ancient Council we will pass the Talking Stick and speak
of our visions for the future of the British Rainbow Family. We hope that
through this process we will be able to speak to each other from the heart
and create a strong vision for a National Rainbow Gathering in 2009.
