Enter MOVING IMAGE Rainbow Family Each July for the past 40 years, people from all walks of life have formed temporary communities called Rainbow Gatherings in America’s national forests. Based on values of non-commercialism, non-violence, peace and love, these are leaderless campsites where money isn’t exchanged and “Welcome home” and “Loving you” are common greetings. The following photos are from a Rainbow Gathering this year in Eastern Tennessee. Participants remained anonymous out of respect for the group’s traditions.
