The Hawai'i Rainbow Family is stepping it up this year, and the buzz is all over the world about our 2009 Feb 1-13 Hawai'i Gathering. This 2009 February gathering is shaping up to be one of the best in Hawai'i ever.

We have a magic hat mailbox to which you can send your generous donations (e.g. a check):

Zentrica
15-2874 Pahoa Village Rd. #9372
Pahoa, HI 96778

And we have a local contact on Big Island, to help get you connected with scouts, focalizers and loving phamily:

Reverend Rainbow Tribes: 808-975-8422

Holding camp starts whenever you arrive in Hawai'i. A pre- and post-gathering holding camp will probably be located at our old successful site in the Malama Ki forest reserve, next to MacKenzie State Park, a beautiful ocean front site with lots of cocos. The actual site will hopefully be located somewhere Kona-side. Scouts are actively looking for sites, and would love to make a connection with a land owner generously willing to host us-- in return for getting lots of love and attention back to the land with our regional tribe that has a proven track record for not just cleaning up after ourselves, but restoring land to its natural pristine condition. One misnomer is that our gatherings are mainland-style huge: far from it, our gatherings hover somewhere from 60-120 people typically-- a perfect size for an intimate regional gathering (of folks from all over the world).

Connect with everybody there and then, and on this forum (hawaiirainbow.tribe.net) here and now, and I hope to see you all under the full moon penumbral eclipse in February!
