I am wondering if Jeff and I are possibly related. I have recently tracked down a few steinmetz’ that are related to me.

Any chance of forwarding this to Jeff. I am part of Bliss camp but I live in florida.

Would love to meet a steinmetz that is a burner.

Thanks Be well
Love and Light

“As participants begin to understand that gifting does not imply a return or an exchange, it turns transactions into interactions and generosity into a currency.”

This is a very important point, and I do hope the participants who had not yet grasped this concept @ Seed have made some small steps on this path :)

Really preliminary here, but taking a look at 2013. Is ’13 planned for a similar time? Will you be going back to the same place ? Gotta’ start somewhere.

I couldn’t agree more this event drew people from all walks in a friendly and helpful environment. The theme tents provided space for people to express individuality without judgement, and my feeling is that this trend is going to grow in the years to come. So lets get creative and expand the experience and help cultivate the Burning Seed.

Thanks Jeff – what a gift it was having you here, and I appreciate your ongoing support and encouragement.

As for changing the world. :) I’m just doing what I can to share intentionally what I think are positive things for me and my community (and the planet). Through my work, my behaviour and my choices. I’m no saint just someone trying to live with a social conscious like so many other burners.

Great article!

He forgot to mention the dragon that went up as the “Kid’s Burn” at dusk on Saturday night (a great tradition) and the sustained 100km/hr winds that kicked everyone’s collective arses for a good two hours on Thursday arvo (afternoon). Wouldn’t be a Burn without a little adversity, right?!?
