Aside from the assuredly high-quality interaction going on'live'within
the fire circle, the use of Web possibilities to create an ever-expanding
circle--or perhaps more aptly,'wildfire"--invigorates the very concept of
'conferences' as being sparks to ongoing idea exchange rather than the
confined circle which is their usual result.
As far as I know, this is a 'first'.
Congatulations to you and your collaborators!

This conference, gathering, spirtual concert that is about to happen is by no means special. A lotto of the somewhat elite gathering for spiritual uprising on fertile lands sounds more like the college parties I've blacked out at. A commons man communal it's not.
Why not pick a group of people randomly, let them wander the hallowed grounds in search of peace and harmony. What values would these people lack. Spiritual freedom only existing for the learned, many people would disagree. Certinaly the tribe of the land would.
Or am I to believe this is a march of shamans. People who work, wander the streets, or stride through life, it doesn't matter who tend to be more qualified although somewhat less eloquent in these arenas.( Present company not excluded) In other words, why not send someone, myself included, to lay foot upon these sacred grounds. My words may not be quasi-syllabic, or agile poets memoirs, but they would be honest and in the end that's all that m
atters. Just filling in the blanks honestly. It's what one feels, what one tends to want to feel as the final analysis draws to a conclusion, and what you could not see has now been tainted by your eye's. Magic and theology entwined like serpent lovers cascading from the dawn. Everyone is special and has knowledge of thier own. This ritual dance thats going to be preformed by these high priests and priestess' happens everyday on the streets, in backyards, over computers.....everywhere and anywhere.
It's a wonder why the universes mysteries are what they are. Our souls aren't governed as our bodies are. Everyone should have thier chance to let thier toes dance on the earth, on that parcel of earth. Everyone should have thier chance to join, only then can we complete the circle. ( minor influence of tao may be obvious, but just thank your soul I didn't start talking about the ying-yang, might break into a karate dance.

Hi
I am working to compile a Permaculture Resource Network, to share some of
the ideas and functional systems I have been and am continuing to witness
since I have been involved with the Campus Center for Appropriate
Technology, at Humboldt State University.
The first page I have put up is a cursory outline of information I am
organizing for public reference.
check it out http://www.maui.net/~artwork/permaculture/foraging.html
I would like to contribute to your discussions. Later this week, my sound
driver should be working.
If you know of any resources you could direct me toward that apply to
foraging, even a picture or two of the joys of eating wild harvest!!

Issue at hand. As human beings our future is conditioned by the present moment. The environmental choice is ours since human caused ecological catastrophe is accelerating. The climate warms up and the Ozone hole grows larger. Mass extinctions are a real possibility unless human actions alter.
My human awareness insists that this catastrophe need not occur. Personal death is one thing, the death of my culture/people another, and my death and the deaths of so many others as part of a human triggered planetary catastrophe is something still different. Hubris celebrates this ending of "Nature" as an important and necessary part of human achievement, acceptable and inevitable like our personal death. It is a perspective of death which reminds me of Goethe's Werther slumped in his chair for the sake of his obsession. Indeed, I think it is ultimately a retreat from what Thomas Merton describes as "discovering the inward sources of freedom and love which God has put in our nature." It is these sources we must draw upon for our energy.
