I reckon it's a fascinating concept. While it's not 'quite' the same thing I've found my rides across Australia have carried similar outcomes in the sense that in a much smaller way they throw a group of people together to live in community to share a similar passion. I've found that it's the experiences that help us break out of normal routines that help us discover more about ourselves and life. Great to hear from you CAW.

While the festival's designers rely on its inclusive ethos, I wouldn't call a 'participatory ethic' necessarily radical. Some of the people who attend are definitely radical but that is my opinion based on their artistic output. They tend to keep their beliefs very much to themselves (as I understand it). One day, I shall go to Burning Man and tell you what it was like. I think it would be quite an ... um, englightening experience. A little terrifying perhaps, too!!
