Symbiosis Gathering

Symbiosis Gathering is an expressive arts, music, and community event based on transformational development,[1] notable for its international festival collaborations[2][3][4][5] and lack of corporate sponsorship.[6][7][8][9]

International collaborative partners include Rainbow Serpent in Australia, Mother in Japan, and Glade Festival in England.[10][11] Symbiosis Gathering has been called an "adult-Disneyland",[12] Neverland,[6] and compared to Burning Man,[7][13][14][15] Lightning in a Bottle,[16] Boom Festival, and Rainbow Serpent Festival.[17]

The 2017 Symbiosis Gathering in Oregon was aligned with the total solar eclipse on August 21, garnering attention as "the most transcendental event in the known universe".[18][19]
