Piece Description
Since 1972, 22 states in the U.S. have hosted at least one of 37 "Rainbow Gatherings." The Rainbow Gathering is a temporary intentional community made up of thousands who travel to a specified National Forest site each year to live together and pray for peace around the Fourth of July.
This time on Peace Talks Radio, we explore this on-going utopian experiment, to see if there are real lessons about peacemaking to be learned from the Rainbow Gatherings. Host Suzanne Kryder interviews Dr. Michael Niman, author of People of the Rainbow: A Nomadic Utopia, about the group's efforts to practice nonviolent, nonhierarchical cooperative living with each other and the earth. Niman also discusses the Rainbow's sometimes uneasy relationship with the Forest Service about the annual use of the National Forest for the gatherings.
The program also includes interviews and first-hand reports from Suzanne's participation in the 38th annual Rainbow Gathering in New Mexico, July 2009.
There is also a 59:00 and 54:00 version of this program on PRX:
