There has been a vision put forth to hold the next Hawai'i Regional Rainbow Gathering during the full moon of March 2010 somewhere on the island of Oahu.

Dates to consider:
2010 March 15, 11:02am HST New Moon (Monday)
2010 March 20, 7:32am HST Spring Equinox (Saturday)
2010 March 29, 4:26pm HST Full Moon (Monday)
2010 April 14, 2:29am HST New Moon (Wednesday)

The exact dates of the gathering are yet to be exactly determined. If you have a vision about this gathering, please join us. For 2010, we hope to hold a more traditional rainbow gathering, with true vision councils, consensus decision making, and a broader range of people doing the scouting and focalizer work, instead of just a few individuals.

I have heard through the grapevine that some people consider the Hawa'i Regional Gathering to be somewhat of a "schwaggy" gathering. Some of the highest vibration Hawai'i rainbow folk steer clear of our local regional gathering, not even mentioning it on their travels to US National, European and world gatherings. And some of the criticisms have been legitimate. Our food donations have tended to be more schwaggy than premium. We have thus far completely lacked the vision council process that has worked for just about every other regional rainbow community on the planet. Our structure of a 13 day gathering is not very appealing to world traveler if for no other reason than the fact that it is so short. The standard world gathering is one month, new moon to new moon, with the full moon at the center. Our 2008 gathering was badly scouted, and we had to move several times, and it's A-camp ended up being way too close for comfort. The whole 2008 gathering was a public relations disaster, and this gathering put a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths.

Hopefully our hard work in 2009, recovering a trashed beach, burnt off some of our bad karma, but I think we all can see we still have a long way to go before we can be an attractive gathering to the highest vibration people on the planet, and not at all an attractive gathering to the kind of people who are attracted to A-camp, and its culture of addiction. Part of this may be the motivation to shake it up a little and move to Oahu next year. Even if the "culture of addiction" type people can afford a ticket to Oahu, they may not simply because our gathering is projecting a spiritual vibration.

Since this is an Oahu Gathering, I propose we use the OahuRainbow online community, groups.yahoo.com/group/OahuRainbow to help focalize this gathering. So, come find us over there, and sing your heartsong.
