Mosaic Experiment 2026: Post Burn Survey

Thought you'd have to wait until next year to hear from us again? Think again! Now that it's been a few weeks since we left Reclaim and had a chance to decomp, we'd like to hear from you on how you think we did this year.

So we created a post-Burn survey of sorts for you to fill out to let us know what went right, what needs some work, and anything else you can think to add. That way, we can make sure that next year was always better.

You can find the survey over at: https://www.mosaicexperiment.com/survey

FAQ and Survival Guide 2026

We're less than a week away from Mosaic Experiment 2026: The Ridiculous Revolution and you know what that means? It's time for you all to read the updated FAQ and Survival Guide!

That's right! The FAQ and Survival Guide are your resource for learning all the important things about our event, like when Gate will be open, info about Sanctuary, and a slew of other helpful tid-bits to help you show up to Mosaic like a seasoned veteran and not a Sparkle Pony.

Plus, reading them is the only way for you to learn the super secret password you need to tell the folks at Gate this year.

Read them here: FAQ and Survival Guide

Lastly, due to the recent flooding that's occurred in our host town of Rutland, we're advising everyone unfamiliar with the area to pick up some paper maps, or print some off from MapQuest for the region. We've heard reports of damage to the roads in the area and with cell service being spotty at best, it would be Radically Self-Reliant of you to have a backup in case you need to find another route to Reclaim.

O What, When, Where!

The What, When, Where is now available to you with a Ridiculous 117 events this year, both as a downloadable PDF at https://www.mosaicexperiment.com/www and via the Dust app under Mosaic Experiment: The Ridiculous Revolution!

We were absolutely blown away by the level of inspiration you all felt this year in creating a gobsmacking myriad of activities to fill up the four days we'll all be on-site starting next Thursday.

Keep your eyes open on the website and Dust over the next couple of days as we add the Placement Map to the mix so you know where to find everything when it happens!

Donations close for the Need-Based Tickets program on Tuesday, September 22nd at 11:59pm EST, and we'll be honest with you, we really need your help this year making sure we can fulfill all of the requests we've gotten.

The Accountability Board

We’re just one month away from Mosaic Experiment 2026: The Ridiculous Revolution, and the volunteers that take time out of their busy lives to plan this event have been putting in a ton of work to make it all happen this year. 2026 has been a year full of changes here at Mosaic; the LLC has changed hands and been expanded and we’ve thought it best to look at the ways in which our Experiment has fallen short in the past, and try something new.

Despite the intentions in helping folks out when they’ve experienced harm, it’s become glaringly apparent of the cracks that exist in the way that consent related issues have sometimes been handled in prior years. While we cannot change the things that have happened, we can hold ourselves accountable for the ways in which our organization has caused those affected to feel unheard, uncared for, or invalidated in their concerns and experiences.

So what changes have we been working on to better serve the community in this regard? With the expansion of the LLC, we’ve created a new position, the Consent Liaison, to provide oversight for the Consent Team in order to ensure that reports are being handled with more care, within a timeline that is respectful to the parties involved, and to safeguard the impartiality of how cases should be handled.

Additionally, we’ve laid out the foundations for what we’re calling the Accountability Board, which is what our latest episode of The Minute in The Mud is all about. In it, we talk with Wonder, one of our new LLC’s and Consent Liaison, who gives us all the details you need to know about the new Accountability Board.

Once you’ve given that a watch, come check out the Accountability Board page and sign-up sheet at https://www.mosaicexperiment.com/accountabilityboard


Sanctuary Needs You!

When life is turned up to 11, call for Sanctuary.

Sanctuary is a safe place for participants feeling overwhelmed by anything. In order to make Sanctuary safe, we need Spaceholders to welcome those in need. No experience necessary. Only requirements are a calm demeanor, desire to help, and ability to be sober and truly present for 3 hours. Great for those with mobility limitations.

Previous sanctuary or professional mental health experience? Consider a 6 hour Shift Lead. Now with cart! (MOrg lead approval required)

Licensed mental health provider? Consider being on call for emergencies.
