--- tags: Gaia --- # GaiaFest Collaboration # What are we About (Our Story) We have been on this planet long enough to where we should understand how to operate and maintain ourselves in a sustainable fashion. It’s unbelievable, frankly absurd, that some of us are not eating enough to survive, or do not have basic needs like clean water, clean air, or shelter. Our planet is at a tipping point. We must come together with collaborative power and make changes necessary simply to continue existing. There will not necessarily be a brilliant, excellently organized plan, but everyone has value and relevance... something to contribute. Simply but seriously, we need to come to the table to collaborate, regardless or our abilities, to start working through any differences of opinion or understanding. We are working to redefine community, which is no longer to be confined to a geographic location. We are able to use tech to meet with people across oceans, as if we were in coffee shops. We are here to foster discussion, build understanding, and impact action that benefits all. # David's thoughts Branding needs to be clearer. Also need to establish a domain name to go with it. In general terms: (deCAF Festival) ## Missing - Mission - Link between music/ sustainability, art, and businesses to make the change (who may not have the big network, or platform needed) - Getting Involved "Time Bank" "Foot Ball" that people can join in/ a profile of projects that people can participate - Geni: small experiment that grows.
