Speechless! (message from squishe)'(e on behalf of the Recomp Org)
What an incredible celebration that was! It's taken me all week to
come back to this reality long enough to write this message.
I am so thrilled at how incredibly well the entire event was pulled
off. I was constantly amazed at how little I had to work at making
sure things were in order.
With almost 300 people on site, and many first timers (to Recomp & or
to the Burning Man vibe), this was a spectacular achievement.
There was no need to lecture at mealtimes, you all took such great
care of each other, of making sure that the community vibe & ethos was
being passed on.
Thanks to each and every one of you for making it so easy for the
organizers.
The list of thank yous would be too long, yet I want to acknowledge
all of the pre-event org crew that made sure that we have a fine
structure so that the rest of you can come & fill it with your
vibrancy, talent and energy. Thank you to everyone who stepped up
on-site to volunteer, set up & tear down. Thanks to workshop leaders &
all of you who attended them.
Congratulations to each & everyone one of you who participated in the
Recompression experience!
You can browse around the POD drop down menu to check out who was all
involved pre-event & see a glimpse of what goes into the prep of this
event.

A special thank you goes out to all of you who provided content to
make the recomPROGRAM a reality, and to the co-creators,

Nemo, Kevin & squishe)'(e spent a considerable amount of time calling
out for content (squish), putting it all together, formatting it &
making it ready for creation (kevin), and then designing the amazing
program (nemo) that you all enjoyed. It warmed our hearts that people
were referring to it as the 'What, Where, When'... sweet!

I do not know if I will ever stop buzzing from the energy at that
gathering.
Now that I tasted the burning man spirit, I feel like I've been
dehydrated for all my life.
