Sunrise Shake - Morning Dance!

October 16, 2019

Weekly mountaintop sunrise dance parties during the warmer seasons.

‘Nuff said.

Except I should probably mention little bubbles, huge bubbles, fog, rainbows, rain, gorillas, and lots and lots of dogs to pet.

Motivation

Dancing outside in nature on a mountaintop at sunrise with lovely people is a deeply nurturing experience, but due to the obligation of life, it’s not a common thing. For years we’ve done these sporadically every few months, but a few of us one day realized it is SO GOOD that we wanted it as a more regular ritual. So we committed to doing it weekly as an opportunity to create a process to make it as effortless as possible to do, and empower others to step up as organizers. If us or anyone in the community could do it with ease, then we hoped there would be more! A commitment to do it for 4 consecutive weeks turned into doing them weekly for nearly 9 months.

To assist in making it easy for everyone, we created:

  • Mailing list and Facebook community for communications

  • Simple, lightweight sound and power setup stored in an easily accessible location by organizers

  • Playbook for new organizers to organize their first session

BYO Art Community Gallery Night

June 1, 2019

Event series @ Make Factory. A crowdsourced art gallery night for local makers to share what they've been creating and get inspired by each other.

We accepted all entries from the community, and matched participants in need of help with creatives in the community that could help them overcome hurdles. Our hope was to create a welcoming atmosphere for people to share their works with the broader community (many for the first time), soak up positive vibes to feed back into their creative process, and find inspiration and new collaborators along the way.

Urban Man

January 30, 2019

A week of city-wide, widely-accessible public experiences to bring moments of connection across cultural boundaries

Born of the incessant question “how might we integrate and share the open-heartedness, self-expression, and play from the sandbox of Burning Man with our broader communities?” Our goal is to create a pipeline to direct the collective creative energy that goes into Burning Man towards opportunities to support broader public and the places we live the rest of the year.

A group of 12 met several times over the course of a few months to conceptualize how to answer this. Some of the concepts included:

  1. Work with non-profit leaders to brainstorm and design events, volunteer opportunities, or other collaborations with the Burning Man community to serve the needs of the non-profits

  2. Hosting several prototype events with partner non-profits, invite the Burning Man community / theme camps as collaborators

  3. Build relationships between theme camps and non-profits to galvanize ongoing year-long collaborations and support

  4. Use week-long festival to showcase many different initial examples of how the Burner community can organize to start to change society
