" To cause the mind to pass directly from the solid to the vapor state and condense back to solid form". Everyone who possesses a skill would be invited to share that skill with others through demonstrations and group discussions in the form of workshops and playshops – individuals and groups who would like to be a part of this experience – anything you can dream of can be a contribution to this village’s theme. How to make sushi, build an art car, balance your checkbook, play a drum, build a shade structure, film a movie, and ANYTHING else you can think of (the goal is to have a mix of both off-playa and on-playa related information).
