 Last year, we used an Open Space format for event planning (see www.openingspace.net for more information on the Open Space format). As our theme, we used Life after Civilization: Building the Web of the Future. We held a variety of energetic workshops, including classes on making stone tools and bow-drilling fire, a guide to animism, a SHIFT: Feral movement session, critiques of modern systems, and analyses of sustainable energies.

If you plan to attend, ready yourself for some camping! We strongly recommend that you bring the following items:

• A sleeping bag
• Some form of shelter, from a tent to a tarp
• A sturdy water bottle
• Washable eating gear, preferably a plate or bowl, plus a cup and utensils
• A swim suit and towel (for those who may wish to swim)
• A light source
• Toiletry kit
• Clothes for 5 days / 4 nights of camping, plus anything you might need for travel
• A musical instrument (we welcome any and all forms of music, especially drums)
• Sunscreen and insect repellent
• A camp chair or lawn chair - great for comfort, essential for campfires!

While day visitors will always be welcome, please SIGN ONTO THE GOOGLE GROUP if you plan to camp with us.  The group camping site is limited to 30 people.

<>As far as food, we group-plan food; ideally, we share most meals between attendees, on either a large or small scale, with the costs and work split between those attending. One can find several conventional sources of food in the Ashland area, including local food co-ops and farmer's markets. (We also hope to supplement this food with U-pick and local gathering/foraging as possible.) Please ensure that you bring at least $5 per person per meal, for 9 meals, as well as any ideas regarding what you would like to eat. Sharing recipes is highly encouraged! We will spend any remaining cash on purchasing firewood for cooking, and for our nightly campfire circles.

We are discussing how cooking and clean up are being shared on the Google Group.
