"The kitchen was built in a large cave, hollowed out of the cliff by erosion, eons ago. When I first saw the oven, it looked like it had always been there, as it had been built upon large sandstone rocks that had fallen from the roof many years ago. The flue from the firebox had been laid in the crevice beside the one large rock that the oven was built upon. Taking advantage of the natural features granted by the Creator, made the working sculpture both solid and convenient to tend. The location of a tree shrouded cave halfway up a cliff provided protection from the rain and screening from the valley below. Many good smells emanated from the cave, helping the place to feel very much like Home." - Owl Talking

Rainbow Gatherings by Benoit Paillé.

There have been gatherings called Rainbow Gatherings since at least 1972, and there has been at least one large gathering of the tribes every year in the United States on public land around the 4th of July since then. Many people gathering together to pray for peace and healing in the world.

There are Rainbow Gatherings in almost every part of the world, in several countries and on every continent. There are World Rainbow Gatherings, International Rainbow Gatherings and a host of local - regional Rainbow Gatherings throughout the year. Some are scheduled with the solstice or equinox and at other special times throughout the year. By far, the largest and most widely celebrated Rainbow Gatherings are the Annual Rainbow Family Gatherings which are hosted in the United States on the 4th of July.

These mass gatherings can have as many as 30,000 people to as few as 7,000 all coming together in a humble manner to pray for peace in silence on the morning of the 4th.

The gatherings are called rainbow because they are for all the peoples of the earth, from many families, tribes, and nations.
