When Does Scouting for a Rainbow Gathering Begin?

Scouting usually begins in late spring, about mid April to early May, depending on the weather in the area. Snow pack will determine if the scouts who volunteer to travel the sites in the National Forests being considered will be able to get into the area. A lot of National Forests are buried in snow until mid May. So Mark your calendars for the middle of April if you want to adventure into the mountains of New Mexico.

The next step will be to read the groups online, like alt.gathering.rainbow at google groups to follow the online discussions. Find other groups at yahoo by typing in a search for rainbow gathering counsels, discussions, scouts and gatherings. This will produce a good listing from which to choose. Read the unofficial site at www.welcomehome.org for updates that reach consensus by the people who are on site, whether it be at a scout council, spring council, or vision council.

Participate in the councils online, attend gatherings and potluck dinners on a regional level to meet and talk with people who will be part of the scouting process. Write down some emails and contact the people personally if you want to be part of the process.

Please post your questions in the comment section of this blog. Be sure to include your blog link and an email at which I can contact you. I really need the readers feedback so I know what you want to read about here.

Visit mountainspiritpeople at yahoo groups to follow the Mountain Spirit Tribe.

Watch for more updates on the rainbow gathering process for New Mexico in 2009.
