Beloved Community in Our Midst

Lifelong social justice educators Shirley Strong and Simone Torrey share about Beloved Community, an inclusive interrelated space based on love, responsibility, compassion, shared power, and a deep respect that transforms. They also talk with Stuart about a new community engagement and learning platform. It’s not social media. It’s not e-courses. It’s a versatile hub of like-minded interactivity. This conversation started with Civil Rights in the 1960s, and is now evolving on a global nexus called Hive.  Ten Ingredients for Building Beloved Community and Creating Belonging (on HIVE)Burning Man Project’s Radical Inclusion, Diversity, & Equity (R.I.D.E.)

Philosophy Smackdown with Jason Silva

Stuart and Andie talk with Jason Silva, philosopher, futurist, and host of National Geographic’s Brain Games, and the Shots of Awe video channel. Their talk is a wild ride through the nature of reality. It’s a mind-melting mind-meld of meanings as burners and as earthlings. They discuss life, death and how a bicycle can induce synchronicity. They explore how psychedelics cause pivotal mental states of suggestibility to brainwash ourselves for the better, or succumb to delusional thinking, or both.They paradoxically try to schedule nowness, and control ecstatic surrender. And if you listen closely, you may hear a love story hidden between all the philosophy quotations. Finally, they explore key ingredients to Burning Man’s secret sauce that doesn’t exist. But then again, does existence even exist? thisisjasonsilva.comJason Silva: Shots of Awe (youtube)Burning Man Synchronicities: What are "Playa Moments"?

Boundless Space: The Sotheby’s Experiment

Sotheby’s is exhibiting and auctioning the work of 180 artists from around the world inspired by Burning Man culture. More than a third are women, and more than a third are people of color. Sculptures, paintings and photographs, as well as experiences, mutant vehicles, and NFTs. It’s a collaboration and a collision. It’s an experiment with an institution historically known for overt commodification. It’s an appreciation of art based on intrinsic aesthetic value. It's a nod to artists. Stuart talks with Kim Cook, Director of Creative Initiatives for Burning Man Project, the bold lead on this partnership for advancing a values-based culture, and embracing the beastly art marketplace while being pro-artist, anti-racist, and taking not taking ourselves too seriously seriously.https://www.sothebys.com/en/digital-catalogues/boundless-space-the-possibilities-of-burning-manhttps://journal.burningman.org/boundlessspace/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNuj5XWFAK4 LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG

You and I, we have living laboratories for embracing new ways to do the Earthling thing. They are Black Rock City, Fly Ranch, and 90-something regional events around the world. The Burning Man community is vast, diverse, and creative - and can ripple out a cultural shift around new technologies and practices. The 2030 Environmental Sustainability Roadmap declared that in the next 8 years we will become carbon negative and regenerative.
