Hey y'all, it's that time again. Burning Man Decompression Party on October 2. We're doing something a little different this year. We'll be with the Ant Farm stage again! (hooray!) and this time instead of an afternoon of speakers and evening of music we'll intersperse the two. Current thinking is we'll have people do a 10 minute spiel on the mike (either the speaker or an M.C. who can draw a crowd) about what we'll be talking about then host an intimate conversation with the peeps who show up with a tea party atmosphere somewhere shady and quiet. The intention is to create a dialogue around key issues. The "speaker" can lead or not. This leaves room for people at the event who have expertise in this topic to show up and
share and for the person facilitating the dialogue to be able to address folks issues about taking action in these areas. If you are not interested but know someone who would be please forward!
Your participation in this is what makes it work. You know what a difference it makes when the community steps forward! Would love to hear from you.
Main Topic ideas:
Food
Water
Energy
Shelter
Health/Wellness
other good stuff - Etc.?
"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."
