On peeing in the woods

 A message primarily for my family at the Rainbow Gathering who do not have a penis.


If you're drinking enough water to stay hydrated, you're probably peeing a lot. Now when you pee, hopefully you'll be peeing behind a tree or a bush or somewhere in the woods (Not the shitter). If you're like me, you like to wipe after you pee. But then you have some slightly used toilet paper to dispose of - and NOT by burying it under two inches of duff. Some one will have to pick up that toilet tissue - let that someone be you.


I've taken to bringing extra wash clothes or bandanas to the gathering. I keep one in my day pack at all times. Then when I need to pee, I wipe with a washcloth or bandana. I put it in a plastic bag in my pack. The next day I grab a new one. The old one gets rinsed out and left to dry for a day or two. 4 or 5 wash clothes or bandanas will last me 3 weeks using this method.

The other option is to carry all that used TP to the nearest shitter and toss it in. Or burn it in a fire. Or carry it home with you. I like my washcloth movie a whole lot more.


Please do not leave toilet paper on the ground! Someone will have to pick it up. Let that someone be you!

Vision Council Consensus

  We, the Rainbow Family of Living Light, peacefully assembled as Vision Counsel, in the Mark Twain National Forest on the land, at the site of the 54th Annual Rainbow Gathering, in 2025, have lovingly reached consensus on the following:    We invite all beings to cocreate the 55th Annual Rainbow Gathering from July 1-7, 2026, and to participate in a silent prayer and meditation for peace from dawn until noon on the fourth day of July, in a national forest in the lands currently known as Pennsylvania or New York.    We lovingly invite all Indigenous and Native peoples of Turtle Island to join us in love and peace and solidarity.

We invite all veterans to join us...
