[edit] How It Works
Rewild Camp Portland is a weeklong DIY social experiment/event held using the collaborative group information-share known as "open space technology," to share rewilding skills and fun times such as: Archery, fire by friction, martial arts, hunting/trapping, stone tools, tan a hide, wool-felting, sensory awareness, capture the flag, backyard campfires, dance parties, wild-crafting, coffee shop conversations, impromptu dance parties, spontaneous hook-ups, gathering and cooking food, etc.
Now here’s how it works. Say you want to teach people how to make a bow-drill fire, Say you don’t want to teach anything, say you just want to take some friends and go shoot some bows and arrows, say you want to learn a skill like bike repair, say you want to give a lecture on the collapse of civilization, say you want to hear a lecture on the collapse of civilization, say you want to have a conversation about toxins in the Willamette river, say you want to have a dance party, all you need to do is show up on Saturday morning!
To hold the integrity of the event, we need you to show up on at least the first day of the Rewild Open Space Saturday, August 4th at 9am. On this day you will learn how Open Spaces work, and how to participate in them. If you do not show up this day but still want to participate, you must arrange to have the culture of the Open Space passed on to you somehow. Otherwise, confusion will result! After the first day, you can attend (or not) any day's events freely. At Colonel Summers Park on SE 20th and Belmont.
During the morning we will collectively throw out ideas/topics/classes/discussions to be had, held, partied and use those to build a Calendar of activities for the week.
An Open Space is just plain hard to simply explain. You must experience it to understand. So, relax, show up on Saturday with lots of ideas.
[edit] Attendees/RSVP
Signing your name below helps us determine if our initial meeting spot will support a giving number of campers/planners. It also helps us decide if we may want to change our location to a bigger one to support a bigger population of us. This is important because it can allow the facilitators to estimate how many people will be attending."
