[Scpg] LA Decompression 10/2 Request for EcoLounge

[Joan Stevens]

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."
