I just figured anyone familiar with it already would like to know of an OS happening there. It is a lot to explain - about 50,000 people in an intentional, experimental, temporary community for a week in harsh conditions (HOT, and then chilly at night) prioritizing creativity, self expression, self reliance/gift economy, responsibility (no litter!). mind boggling art/structures /workshops/ideas /costumes. I do recommend the official website: <A target="_blank" href="http://burningman.com/"><SPAN id="lw_1187982118_0">burningman.com</SPAN></A>. It has loads of stuff - way better than I can convey!<BR><BR>Open Space Tea Party: "Integrating the Arts Across the Sustainability Movement" this is the event I am facilitating there - a subject near and dear to my heart.
