from Burning Man LIVE · host Jeff Chau, Leanna Pugliese, Lara Warren, Marty Bortz, Sharyn Maes, Stuart Mangrum
5 leaders from the 5 Regional Burns of Australia! They focus on collaboration more than contraptions, connection more than complexity. Aurora, Tasmania: Lara, aka Squeaky Queen, on the logistics of being an island off an island. Blazing Swan, Western Australia: Shaz on navigating extreme weather with 3,700 friends. Burning Seed, New South Wales: Leanna, aka Mama, on restructuring into a member-owned organization. Modifyre, Queensland: Chau on the bonds built with a 10% annual growth cap. Underland, Victoria: Marty on trading a "crisis of imagination" for accountability. These movers & shakers go a mile deep into the dust, the heart, and the deets of Australia’s radical experiments in community. They acculturate through one on one connections and Burning Pubs. They embrace Positive Impact more than Leave No Trace. They aspire to the 10 Principles and the 11th, and even the 12th. See how this culture takes root, travels, and morphs year-round. Community is built through word of mouth, so that the space they create allows us to show up as our whole human selves.
