Escaping Babylon: History and Therapeutic Effects of Music at the Rainbow Gatherings
Jonssonová, Noemi ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Higgins, Bernadette (referee)
This work examines how art as therapy is used and works at Rainbow Gatherings. I accomplish this by closely studying literature directly and loosely concerned with both topics, conducted interviews with several Rainbow attendees, and personal experience having taken part in several Gatherings and their varieties. Firstly, I briefly introduce the theoretical groundwork and history of art as therapy, the process, and the motivation behind the sublimation in art. Then, I also introduce the movement of Rainbow Family of Living Light, their origins, and the practices of the intentional community. After that, I delve into what Babylon means, and how it is one of the main drives for their form of counterculture. In the next chapters, I explain the main characteristics of Rainbow music and how it relates to and can be categorized under the theory of art as therapy, which is the aim of this thesis. I prove how their use of music is therapeutic for neurosis which is possibly also induced by the Babylon system which the Rainbow strives to contradict to some extent. Therefore the Rainbow Gatherings serve as an antidote and a way of sublimation for neurosis. Keywords Rainbow Gatherings, Babylon, art therapy, music therapy, sublimation, neurosis, collective suffering
