Each year since 1972 the Rainbow Family of Living Light – a shifting, leaderless, collective group – has come together in a different national forest to grow a community and to pray for world peace. The event coincides with the Fourth of July holiday and climaxes on July 4 with a day-long spiritual gathering in the main meadow. To get a better picture of this unique phenomenon, Forsyth County News staff members spent a day at the gathering.
