Xara: Future Paradise
I just heard of the Xara Project. Sounds wonderful. Here's the basic description from their website:
Come share 4 days and 3 nights with a thousand other brilliant souls living the life of a future paradise, and celebrate again the experience of your own life.Xara Dulzura is an outdoor retreat exploring personal, creative mythology through visual and performing arts, workshops, landscape, hospitality, and one another.
Madre Grande Monastery is located on 264 secluded acres of oaks, stony hills and meadows high above and beyond rural Dulzura, in southeast San Diego County.
Here we pre-enact Xara, a pastoral paradise civilization 400 years in the future, imagine the myths and rites that would inform and sustain that world, and dream them to life for one another through interactive visual and performing arts. The most important vision and spirit is your own in this shared exploration of creative mythology through mutual art, hospitality, and personal experience.
We hope you will join our future Floralia as we celebrate the coming of new summer, the full-throated roar of life in its prime, and the building of the new.
Sounds wonderful, but I'd never want to go.
This is the kind of activity we need to embrace as a part of our everyday lives. A retreat is nice and all, but does it really matter? Why not live it, right now
I attended this event, which is synonymous with the burning man crowd. The art and spirit of all the individuals involved was beautiful. While the notion of replicating this experience in everyday life is a beautiful thought, the implementation of which could not be achieved unless through retreats which inspire others to live each day as a creator of destiny. I live right now and I live when I share my art and spiritual essence at a festival designed to inspire beyond the boundaries of its property.
