Alternative Societies — the Way We Live is Not the Only Way
(A presentation by Lily Borodkin)
We live in a very interesting time – not due to change and not due to diversity — we always had that. We live in an interesting time because for the first time in thousands of years, we have the ability to connect ourselves to the opposite side of the globe with a stroke of a key on our computers. There are many benefits to that, but one of the more fascinating aspects of this technology is learning about other people. Other cultures and other societies. This session is going to be dedicated to sharing and discussing alternative societies around the world. Burning Man will be the focus because it is a temporary society created by mostly Americans who for 50 weeks of the year lead “normal” lives, but transform themselves for the duration of the Burning Man Festival. Another society which will be covered in depth will be Auroville, but there will be numerous societies introduced.
