Abstract

Rainbow Gatherings are alternative grassroots events that are held as weeks-long camps in natural settings. The Gatherings can be described as temporary intentional communities and transformational events, advocating many central ideals of Western counterculture and alternative-holistic spirituality, inter alia, by employing radical alternatives to market economy, centralized leadership, and religious institutions. These non-commercial and nonviolent Gatherings are fully inclusive and participatory, and before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were dozens of events in Europe annually. The essay depicts how the pandemic and related restrictions were experienced and interpreted among the participants of the 2021 European Rainbow Gathering and describes relevant aspects of the underlying religious and cultural context. The essay connects the observations to recent research on “conspirituality” in its contexts of cultural views, expression, and practices.

新时代在大流行中聚集
彩虹聚会是另一种草根活动,在自然环境中举行为期数周的营地。这些聚会可以被描述为临时的意向社区和变革事件,倡导西方反文化和另类整体精神的许多核心理想,特别是通过采用激进的替代市场经济,集中领导和宗教机构。这些非商业和非暴力的集会具有充分的包容性和参与性,在2019冠状病毒病大流行爆发之前,欧洲每年都有数十次此类活动。这篇文章描述了2021年欧洲彩虹聚会的参与者如何经历和解读疫情和相关限制,并描述了潜在宗教和文化背景的相关方面。这篇文章将这些观察与最近在文化观点、表达和实践背景下对“阴谋论”的研究联系起来。
