The first Taiwan Rainbow Gathering, will take place near Dulan Village in Taitung County (台東都蘭), starting on Chinese New Year (new moon) January 26, 2009. Full moon is February 9, and seed camp (setup) starts January 20. Dulan is about 30 minutes bus ride North of Taitung City. Coming from South (Taitung City) get off the bus at the first Dulan bus stop, coming from North (Hualien) get off at the second stop in Dulan. Once you are there you can check at the Sugar Factory Café (near the South Dulan bus stop) ("Tang chang kafei wu" in Chinese, 糖廠咖啡屋) for further information on how to reach the Gathering site (a 45 minute lovely walk).
When coming to the gathering please bring your personal camping gear (tent, sleeping bag, mat, etc), bowl, cup, water bottle, flashlight, mosquito repellant, acoustic music instruments, and toys, warm clothing and rainproof gear.
It's good to bring (vegetarian/and if possible organic) food to be cooked in the main kitchen and shared with everyone (check facebook or yahoo sites for wish list). Tools are also welcome. We will be far from any civilization so bring a good supply of things you may personally need during the gathering (e.g. contact lens liquid, medication etc).
All activities at the gathering are free and maintained by voluntary participation. All food, supplies, and tools for the whole family are provided by donations to the magic hat. Come with an open heart and an open mind ready for purification and healing; and remember our purpose for gathering is not to party, but to experience a more natural and harmonious way of living and a sense of community.
Please DO NOT bring any alcohol, meat, drugs, dogs, electronic gadgets, fireworks. Keep your mobile phone turned off at the gathering premises. To take a picture/video always ask permission from the people around you. Do not bring your dog or be fully responsible. Welcome Home
