Music as Magical Peacekeeping Tool

 

The Earth Is Our Mother

 

For family who are more musically included, we have a long tradition of chants and songs not for performance, but for participation. Many of these songs are call and response or chant type songs. We use these songs to create community, help people be more peaceful and create the energy we wish to see in this world.

If you do not already know some of the rainbow songs, there are on-line websites that have the information.  If you play an instrument or even if you do not, try to learn these songs.  Then when you are at a gathering, I'm sure you will find a moment that is calling out for family singing and you will be prepared.

Thanks to family who have taken the time to make this information freely available.

Singing is one of the best tactics to improve the vibration of the gathering. I've even seen people sing to break up hostile situations, calm the anxious, and create community among random strangers. Be the magic!

I look forward to comments that avoid racist, sexist, homophobic, and/or other 'ism' language & that does not advocate violence or spread lies/rumors.

Spring Circle / Council / Counsel

Image
  Spring council/counsel/circle (Spring CCC)  Updated June 19th at 9:10 PM Central Time. Spring CCC is over. Consensus minus one was reached for a site in Missouri. The Howdy Folks is now available.  Updated June 18th at 11 AM Central Time.  Please be patient as the folks at spring council try to find a gathering site. They have been dealing with very dangerous storm conditions in addition to challenges finding a site on and off over a number of days. Trying to balance water, parking, and the concerns of indigenous communities is not easy.  Folks are revisiting sites to see what can be made to work with some Rainbow ingenuity.  If you are in the area, stop by the council site and find out how you can help. Maybe folks need some more green energy, maybe they need their laundry done, maybe some hot pizza would lift spirits.    Updated June 17th @ 3:15 PM Central Time The council is ongoing.   Folks on the land trying to find the best possi...
