It's Not a Burning Man Festival but ....
I am the facilitator of an event like the Burning Man Festival that will be hosted in Australasia, and invitations to participate are being emailed all over the planet.
At ‘Burning Man’ there is no other agenda than ‘being there’. Leaving the old civilization behind.
There on a Nevada salt lake, humans form modern tribes on a blank landscape.
This in essence, is just a concept and vision manifested.
That is why we say our event is to be based on the principles inherent in Burning Man.

Mission Statement GSG
The Global Sustainability Gathering.
The GSG is an event which changes our perception of what is happening in the world today – away from the negative to the positive.
It thus becomes a benchmark event which helps us chart our way through an uncertain future.
It is to be a pioneering global face to face networking experience which takes place with-in the confines of a small rural town, not a capitol city.
The town which hosts the event most likely will become recognized world wide, as a resu… Continue

An invitation to participate
At this critical time in our planetary history of climate and social change, do we now need a global face to face gathering?
I believe we do, but not like the 6,000 people that the UN invited to Nairobi in 2006.
http://unfccc.int/meetings/cop_12/items/3754.php
For some years now we have been convinced of the great virtue and benefits of face to face networking gatherings, ask any one who has been to a Burning Man Festival!
Internet social networking sites are a great way to meet new people, ye… Continue

Barbara Wishingrad said… - Offhand I would probably say Bioneers http://www.bioneers.org/conference
which also offers the alternative they call Beaming Bioneers http://www.bioneers.org/conference/beaming
"Here's How It Works...
During the weekend of October 16-18th, 2009 more than 3,000 people will gather at the annual Bioneers Conference in San Rafael, California. Since not everyone can attend the California event, Bioneers wants to support your community to participate.
We are offering a "live" feed of our main plenary speakers (five each day) via the Dish Satellite Network, but we also offer other scheduling opportunities...."
go to the site to read more.
If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.
thanks for understanding.

- Hi Michael,
best wishes for a successful event. I will not be able to attend. I enjoy the localization aspect of the transition movement. It seems to me that transporting a bunch of people from the western US to NZ for a short period of time is not aligned with local self reliance. I would personally like to focus my off computer efforts on local activities, and network globally using the computer. Thanks for reaching out.

mindbringer said… - Hi! Sounds interesting but I would not be able to attend. I tried to add you as a friend but, apparently, all of the Ning networks are tied together and it says I have reached the maximum of 50 friend requests. So, as soon as that number goes down, I will add you. Thanks for the invite!
