For better or worse, no movement ever dies out completely. The hippies and Rainbow Children of the 1960s seem to have morphed into something called the Rainbow Family of Living Light, a “disorganization” that has annual, playful camp-outs in the wild. (The Wikipedia editors say the entry on the group, here, needs work, but I think it gives you an idea.)
Jessica Rinaldi at the Boston Globe took a lot of photos at the July 2016 gathering in Vermont.
Here’s what she says about the event: “Each year, for a few weeks in summer, a loose confederation of like-minded souls called the Rainbow Family of Living Light quietly converts a site in a public forest somewhere in the United States into a communal living space for thousands.
“Campsites are established, latrines are dug, and an elaborate water filtration system is erected to bring water from nearby streams. While the group’s origin is a bit cloudy, it’s generally accepted that the first ‘official’ gathering of the Rainbow Family was in Colorado in 1972. For the summer of 2016, they gathered in Mt. Tabor.”
Is this the escape you’ve been looking for?
Rinaldi’s photos are available at the Boston Globe, here.

The Rainbow Family gathering draws free spirits from across the country, including this man dressed as a tree-like Ent from “The Lord of the Rings” at the 2016 event, held on public land near Mount Tabor, Vermont. Great array of photos to be found here.

It would be fun to know what these folks do the rest of the year. Are they all buttoned-down and grown up or are their “real” lives somehow consistent with this retreat?
Two of my grandchildren attend creative classes with teachers who would fit right in with the Rainbow Family. Recently the 2-year-old was helped to make a “chakra” bracelet. This was after the special guest visit from a herbalist.
