Rainbow 2020 Idaho had a vision counsel
Well, here it is.
[Notes: Rainbow Family Counsel was held on most days of the 2020 annual rainbow gathering. Many spoke, maybe hundreds. A few consensus were dabbled with, but none passed. Those conversations continued in Vision Counsel. Possibly over 50 spoke on the 7th day. Due to multiple editors, punctuation style and terms may vary slightly throughout the document.]
Day 1: We the People, being individuals present at Rainbow Family Vision Counsel at the 49th annual Rainbow Gathering of Living Light in the Payette National Forest on the 7th day of July 2020, convene and consecrate our manifest through Consensus by Silence.
1. We reaffirm that our living vision thrives and relies upon Consensus found on the land in Open Counsel.
2. Consensus is our very best means of advising, but is not binding, and new advice or current situation may cultivate new consensus from individuals present when the people gather in counsel on the land.
3. We suggest that Harvest Counsel be called as close as feasible to the consented 2021 Gathering region, on the weekend of the full moon after the fall equinox.
4. We encourage individuals to share all of the vision counsel consensus instead of just part of it.
5. With great joy and abundant enthusiasm, we invite all who carry hope and intent to join us in a morning of Silence from dawn until noon to constitute World Peace through inner peace, and together with Open Hearts for the 50th Jubilee Rainbow Gathering July 1-7 2021, and to counsel our vision on the seventh day oh, somewhere in the regions of: Santa Fe, Carson, Cibola, Lincoln, Gila, Apache, Coconino, Kaibab Prescott … in a National Forest.
Day 2
6. We call for a discussion on Rainbow Caravans to be held on July 1st at Main Counsel.
7. The Earth as a whole is the common heritage and responsibility of the life borne upon her.
8. We close the 2020 Vision Counsel with a silent passing of the feather.
[Notes: Less than 20 folks spoke on the second day, though others listened formally throughout. There were a few other proposals attempted, and discussed at length by a core dozen who had listened sufficiently to rightfully feel deserving of opinions, and shared freely. In midafternoon they felt formality was satisfied. More detailed notes of VC are available.]
