Welcome to our gatherings and hikesWelcome to our gatherings and hikes
Our basics
Raw food: The events offer the chance to get to know a natural way of life, especially edible wild plants and the raw food nutrition: We eat at the events exclusively vegan raw food, preferably from regional organic cultivation and wild plants: fruits, leaves, roots, stalks, blossoms, seeds, mushrooms, mosses, algs... All the wild animals eat only raw - we are able to do it as well!
Rainbow is a worldwide movement with gatherings on separated places in nice nature: "totally free, non-commercial sharing of our lives and sacred hearts in the Cathedral of Nature". There are no participation fees; for common food we collect donations with a "Magic Hat". We sleep outside in tents, tipis or under the starlit sky. The origin was a gathering in Colorado (USA) 1972.
What we do
Gatherings:
30 to 100 people come for one month totally free and non-commercially together on a separated spot in nature - in the spring in South Spain and in the summer in Germany. We are sharing our lives and hearts, make music together and live on raw food. About twelve and six o'clock we come together for a common meal, but the kitchen is all time open. Our "toilet" is a self dug pit, our "bathroom" a source, river or pool.
Walkabouts:
2 to 20 people are walking on little roads or paths in nature. Mostly nobody of us knows the way from earlier tours, so it happens that sometimes we lose our way and get in difficult parts with bushes. We tend to walk at the speed of the slowest participants, maybe 15 km per day. We find a lot of food in nature, but mostly we buy a bit additionally. However, the walkabouts are connecting us both with ourselves and with nature.
Bicycle tours:
With bicycles we can manage longer distances than by foot, however we experience the landscape more intensly than by using mashines like bus or train. Sometimes in the autumn I cycle one month from Germany to Spain, to spend there afterwards the winter. On this tour we find a lot of fruits, wild plants and nuts, so it's possible to live on food from nature, if you want. Whenever possible, we take small roads with little traffic.
