On The World Gathering in Turkey last year, it was decided to make a gathering with focus on Peace in the Middle East, to plant seeds of love which will grow and start a tradition of peace gatherings in this torn apart area, to bring the Middle Eastern families together, to heal, learn and celebrate.

Everybody is heartfully invited to
The 1st PEACE in the MIDDLE EAST RAINBOW GATHERING
Starting March 20th, with the spring equinox. Total solar eclipse will be on March 29th, 13.54. Full Moon is April 13th.

The site is on a mountain plateau called BEL, 45 kms north of MANAVGAT. To go there from ANTALYA (nearest airport) go to MANAVGAT, and take the road towards IBRADI (1kms after the famous waterfall selale crossing with signs on the left, passing DIKMEN village). Past the YAYLAALAN village 13 kms later big red writing on the rocks to the left (- BEL (- Follow signs on the dirt road for 2 kms to reach the gathering site. Welcome Home.

The only public transport is one shared minibus that leaves Manavgat everyday at 3.00 PM going to AKCABELEN (next village). This minibus does not start from the bus station but from NOKTA tea house on the street next to the TANSAS supermarket on the center of the city (ask people). DO NOT get on the Yaylaalan bus that leaves there at the same time. Tell the driver youll get off at BEL junction after YAYLAALAN. The last part of the road is quite muddy at the moment but will be more suitable for small cars as the weather dries.

The site is about 1.000 meters high and the nights are pretty cold but the season is getting warmer. Do not forget to bring your own thick jumpers, blankets, camping stuff, rainproof material, water containers, bowls and cups. For the whole family also bring bulk organic food, tools and alternative medicine. Be aware of shepherd dogs and far away shop.

We are all coming to something that we make all together. We contribute in any way to make it happen. Participation is the key, cooperation, sharing and exchange.

Remember that Rainbow gatherings are not commercial events and what we need is supplied by donations to the magic hat and other heartful contributions.

Bring your positive energy, be happy. Let go of fear, let be in love and harmony. Bring your musical instruments and toys. Put some of your energy in what needs to be done for everyone.

When we are asking for healing from Mother Nature, we take care of Nature. We do not pollute. What we bring to the gathering, we take back when we leave. Please do not use chemical soap in streams, do not camp above the spring and use the toilet areas cleanly.

Take good care of all fires at all times. Beware of forest fires. Only burn dead wood and bushes, never cut living wood. Avoid making unnecessary fires and use communal fires.

Leave your dogs, electric devices and cameras at home. Never take pictures without asking all the people concerned. Also leave behind alcohol, drugs and all addictions.

Be aware of local customs. Avoid being naked anywhere.

You are welcome to the live experience of love, peace and harmony.

See you all soon.

Welcome Home.
