Open Space at Burning Man - "The Greenman" (Invitation!)

[Gwen Daniels]

Hello Open Space People!

I am very excited to announce this OS - and to invite anyone who is going to this year's Burning Man event to come talk about arts and sustainability.  This will be my first time facilitating - I have read the Open Space book, and met with a few people about it.

What is particularly exciting about pairing up OST with Black Rock City (the name of the Burning Man Location) is that they are based on essentially the same principles of inclusion, participation, independence, natural human tendency, results, etc. The city itself is designed in concentric circles rather than a grid.  I am finding some of the similarities quite intriguing! 

This year's theme, The Greenman, is a great fit with the missions of the Level Green Institute and Arts at the Heart of a Sustainable World. (organizations I am working with)  I am also a volunteer coordinator for the Black Rock Census at the event this year, and they have graciously invited me to do the OS at their headquarters.  Below is the event description/invitation.  Please spread the word of this to anyone you know will be heading out to the playa this weekend.  Thanks to all.  Hooray for OST!
