hope eveyone makes it to this wonderful bud light main circle event in ocala forest,love my family but the truth is ive seen more baylon in the forest in 4 weeks of being in ocala the in the so called babylon of soiciety,when did gatherings become an exscuse for a frat party in the woods instead of a spiritual journey and the coming together in love,
oh damn its a big a-camp movie? ive been hearring its a beautiful scene
can u explain whast u saw?
Ive been seeing a lot of beautifull people and only hearing of some shwagness and not heard what was done bout it… To Be Continued…

beer spilled on drummers people yelling around the bliss pitt for coke ,16 year old kids getting spun for the first time with 10 strips of 25 then left to hurt theirselves in the woods,beers being passed out on the way to main circle,babylon in the woods basically if thats not enough theres more i could and can go on but whats the use,youd have to see it for yourself
im glad i missed that night, Has this incident been counceled on ? or is it goin to be…
I’d like to take the time to thank everyone who worked so hard and digilantly to help make putting on this gathering possible. I’m parked at Farles Lake,camped around G-Funk and only go to main circle to eat.You can get a free masage at trade circle and read zines there too.Anglers will find there paradise,largemouth bass,bluegill,speckled perch,redbreast and catfish.There’s a 20 hp max on boats for this lake and a cut through to the second lake where there’s a dock.This has been a mild winter but highs are in the 70’s and 80’s all this week.It’s an enjoyable hike in and some folks are rideing thier bikes. May Creator Bless And Keep You Always.
wow ocala! Fun place to be if you’re a steely fan.. kitchens were kick ass for the most part.. i never knew ocala had a brewery out in the forest.. can’t knock the gathering as a whole.. but it’s safe to say i’ll never be back for another one down there.. plenty of loving brothers and sisters down there.. just push aside the spun children and beer cans to find them.. keg part in the woods.. and here i thought it was a rainbow gathering..
loving everyone.
damn ok glad i didnt go but disapointed too, i had high hopes
Its really sad to hear. I see the lack of respect in most of the youth today and its due to a lack of discipline as a child from the parents, and the fact that the school teachers are teaching the kids from a very young age that their parents cant discipline them. Now with that said, in no way do I condone violence but, I do condone the right for a parent to teach respect to their child as they see fit, as long as its not abusive. This time out crap dosent work when the kids are in the city world setting. That was part of the problem at the Rainbow Farm in Vandalia Michigan in the late 90’s. Those kind of actions just ruin the entire scene and makes the group as a whole look bad. Kids that live in peace and are surrounded by peace at home, school and neighborhood are the kids with respect for all. But when you have peace in only 1 out of 3 or 2 out of 3 of these places they just dont get it or retain the concept of respect for themselves and others. Im sorry for going into a rant but I was really looking forward to an Ocala gathering but ive seen enough unruly, undisciplined and unsupervised kids and that just makes for a bad time for me.

total bs?wake up and look around if you cant see it for yourself you really are in a babylon box,maybe thats why most of the family doesnt go to ocala anymore,every year is getting worse in ocala mainly because the majority has chosen to ignore the problems that are there,when did the family decide to accept this behavior with the assumption that just because most everyone is new to gatherings down here that theyll learn ,if we dont teach them and we continue to ignore aggro drunk behavior how will they learn?
it is funny to hear babylon in the woods, when you are typing on the computer. if you didnt make a positive influence in ocala, it was probly your negativty not to be able to just let it go. what positive action did you do for the gathering lazy grey, because all i heard or seen from you was negstive remarks about it. i also heard family who i know was there tell me some nice things. babylon is a state of mind, and you dont need a gathering to get a way form it.
since when is being honest being negative,get your head out your ass high holy

Camp Burntout was filled with lots of love every night and will continue to be in Ocala,
there were a lot of new kids with a lot to learn and we allways need true family to help show the way with love and kindness, there is still a lot to be shown and learned, there was a fire by main circle this weekend and the family came together beautifully and brought a peacefull end to a rageing fire,you are all beautifull people and i love you all. We are out of the woods and missin home allready See yall next year…..
P.S. Ifin you didnt see real family then you were in the wrong place

plumberjohn, people will try and stir up shit sometimes. I apologize for that element of humanity. We all have it and it came up here thru our brother. It is ok. I am sure we all appreciate your sentiments but arguing can be so negative sometimes.
This is a wonderful thread! It is great to see the experiences we have had at this year’s Ocala has been an exercise in injecting a needed shot of Love into a sore spot. I agree with the earlier poster that it is a time for the older family to share wisdom of the Rainbow way. There may be a time when the Rainbow way is the only way and leaders of tomorrow must be taught.

personal attacks are not allowed here, so those who make them go on vacation.
Wow its always fun to watch true colors come out, while people try to stress why they think flaming is wrong. flaming is good in a sense, one mans stress is another mans fuel for thought.. plumberjohn has shown us all what not to do when someone is having anger issues.. on to other things…
ocala regional.. personally for me it was a downer. i tried really hard to find true family there, but they were few and far between. aside from all the steely 211 and spun 16 year olds, it went ok.. but when did beer drinking become a main circle event? i dunno, glad i went, glad i saw, glad i left. no more ocala’s for me.. but for those who had a blast, right on!
loving you family!

This has been a self test for me. Im trying to change the way I react to people like that. One thing that bugs me is thread hijackers. If you have a bitch, and want to change the subject start another thread, dont ruin the one you dont like. Personal attacks are wrong, period, and I just want to point out to this person where he contradicted himself and really made himself sound uneducated in the peaceful ways. Im in no way even close to perfect and never will be, but trying to be better every day. Everyone has "bad days" but when I realize I have been in the wrong I acknowledge my wrong and apologize, unlike this person who continues his personal attacks on the entire community. I forgive him tho and hope he has learned a little and in no way want to change the topic here, and thats why I always end with:
Any more Ocala Reports?
ocala is ocala,,,always has been a a bit rough around the edges,,always will be..
when ya have a "gathering" where every carney,festy kid,and tramp east of the mississipi winters,, yer gonna see a lotta shit..
i wernt there this year,,an havent heard from anyone that i know that was there yet..
although i do know lazy an grey,,an i find there statements a bit hypocrytical,, as they are far from high holies in the rainbow world..
all i got to say is,, yeah,, it was ocala,,again..
or,,
this gathering sucks,,whens the next one?
love n light
hillbilly you are very right im no high holly,every one that knows ol lazy knows i drink,but ive also learned theres a place and time for everything and i dont think main circle is the place ,im only repoting what i saw and had the pleasure of hearing others say the same things about yes ther is beutiful brothers and sisters in ocala and i didnt mean to come down to hard earleir ,but the fact is the general consensus for the 4 weeks i was in ocala was to let it go ,and hope for a change,i dont agree with that i believe in council,yes many young kids will eventually learn along the way but if we can help them by council ,shoulnt we?overall my stay in ocala was very good and ill be back next year ,and hope others will to because the only way things will change is if we change them,

ok im lost in the point of this thread.. is it to report your expierence of the ocala gathering? or is it only to tell those people who did not have the greatest time that they are lieing and have no care but for the bad that they saw? please let people tell what they expierenced and let that be that.. if you had a good time tell us about it.. and lets all stop targeting others just because they did not see or expierence all the good things that you may have..
loving my family!
i went to ocala this weekend and had the most amazing time! i met so many beautiful people and had the opportunity to reunite with old friends. we got in fri night and knew only that the fam that we were gonna camp with was by bear necessities…mmm pancakes…and since we came in the south gate it was a looooong way. as we were coming in we were greeted only with love and compassion. even one of the brothers from a camp that helped drive a car in the woods and into a tree and a lake twice helped us find our way. the next day we hiked all over venturing off to all the kitchens, the trading circle and different camps. about half way through the day a massive fire broke out. it got a little scary but it was amazing to see everyone working together to put it out. according to grampa woodstock peace, love, and hippy power!!! all in all it was a great experience and to short! i’m ready to go back home already but i guess i will have to wait until nationals hopefully in Arkansas.
LUVIN YOU FAMILY!!!
~peace~love~hippy power!~
wow! that about summed it up. that kind of put everything into a layman-friendly fairly accurate picture of ocala. that brother did a pretty damn good job of writing that article, for a babylonian.
ocala, as usual, was a beautiful consciousness-raising sunset-watching drumming dancing pancake-eating dishwashing cold-at-night hugging happiness that i’ll carry with me as one of my favorites.
could we use a little more organization and a lot more people pitching in? yes. should we worry about this division between the "a-campers" and the "real rainbows" that seems to be getting bigger and more volotile? most definately. but that’s rainbow. there will always be group dynamics and heros and drama queens (male and female) and a call to be a more conscious being. but we are the vanguard for a new society and that position is never easy.
loving ya’ll. special thanks to sid (@welcome home), chemo, bickle (for reteaching us our oral history in the form of our chants), and forkman & susan (who went WAY above and beyond to make sure both sides of the fence had drinking water & supplies & no one got hit by a tree during the storm), cowboy ogre, zac monster (for adjusting my karma), woodstock esp. cody & timekeeper, flickerfeather @ info, atrayou, kind and little bear, hummingbyrd, casey earthican, moose, and of course seed & buckaroo - my tribe. can’t wait for nationals!! in love and light, chime
i thought ya’ll might like this story too.
It never ceases to amaze me how different people can attend the same event and have such radically different experiences. About Ocala 2007, I wish I could say that a good time was had by all but, judging from this thread, it appears that is not the case. Personally, I was there for about ten days and had an awesome time. The gathering was, for me anyway, peaceful and relaxing. I saw a handful of old friends and made a handful of new ones. I chopped wood and carried water and all that good stuff, hell yeah. I spent most of my time hanging with the fat kids and helping around their kitchen. Those fat kids freakin’ rock.
One thing about Ocala: Sometimes it seems like there are large numbers of first time gatherers and not that many experienced gatherers. We get dozens of young, college-aged, kids from Gainsville, St. Augustine and Orlando coming to the gathering and many of them have no clue as to where they are when they get to rainbowland. To further complicate matters, sometimes there is nobody around to offer them an intelligent explaination of rainbow. But, for the most part, they are bright young adults who are easy to talk to and are usually eager to get along with others. For example, I approached some folks who came from Gainsville to their first gathering with a huge boom box. They were blasting Bob Marley while hanging around the camp that they made within earshot of main circle. I asked them politely to turn off the tunes and they were totally chill about everything. They weren’t trying to bother nobody but they just didn’t know any other way to camp than with a cd player.
There were some problems with alphabet crap and a few injuries (burns, snake bite, dog bite) and a few arrests. I missed the forest fire and the car in the woods incident because I left well before the 28th.
one question for the guy who said "pretty good for a babylonian"….where does the food come from that you eat at the gathering……hmmm I guess babylonians grow it……..freedom isn’t free my friend. I guess a babylonian built your computer too.
i thought ya’ll would love this! this is a site called "internet archives" that has live music and recordings you can download for free. there is an recording of little hawk telling stories on it from several years ago. any of us that have gotten near him on his good days have heard some of these stories. thanks hippie-in-my-head for finding this. this is the link:
by the way, this site has the now famous micheal franti steamboat springs show from right after the 2006 colorado gathering too.
i had a pretty good odd time in ocala . thanks , family .
excellent gathering. got out from cleanup the day b4 yesterday; got there the 14th. i was proud to be at this ocala. i love u all. c u soon! ignore all rumours of cancellation and "i didnt even go but im gonna be negative neway" attitudes. i love u all
I thought Ocala was great.But there was a lot of dumb things going on in the woods.I dont look at the dumb things.I look at people comming togeather to put out a large fire.Not sure how the fire started.But every one came togeather with help from a helicopter scooping watter out of the lake to put it out.And the anousment of no more road blocks from the cops(Singed by a fed judge)Great naws for all.Sarah would like to say think you for the best time of her life and that she loves all.And Hillbilly what were you thinking??????Cars dont belong at Maine circle.Still love you brother.And to all babalonians, Alchol stays at parking lot.Gatherings are not a excuse for a big party.It is for the practice of peace and love.So be kind and love one another.—–Peace and Love—Jodys camp and co
