We are 9 days away from our gates opening for the 2021 digital Mosaic Experiment. How should you get ready? Registration is simple. If you've joined our Discord server (https://discord.gg/ZfuEGHQ), you are ready and everything will be shared as a free experience for our community. Whether you want to simply attend or build your own experience to share, we want your participation and radical self-expression as we burn digitally September 16th-19th.
What are we planning? We are once again building a 2021 burn landing page which will take the form of a map of Reclaim with theme camps and experiences linked directly into it. We will utilize Discord for our main Mosaic hub for hanging out, but those of you creating spaces within the wider Experiment can share content through any interface that best fits the experience you have planned. We’ll simply tie you into our map and detail what you are sharing to our broader community.
We are seeking to include art, music, interactivity, community, creativity, an inclusive environment and just about anything you can dream into digital reality. There will be a conclave and we want you to be a part of it. There will be an effigy burn tied into a single burn night experience for you to enjoy.
As was the case last year, we are working to match the spirit of the burn if not the actual physicality which means we are looking to the community to join us as we cross the finish line (just like we do each year in person).
Have questions? Let us know!
Do you have art to share, fun things to experience, talks to unveil, music to create, gatherings to host? We want it all to be part of our 2021 burn so please let us know so we can help spread the word through our WWW (What When Where) Guide. We're jumping back into the action and reopening our guide for your submissions.
We initially rolled it out toward the end of July but we've now retooled it for our digital burn. You can find the updated version by visiting: form.jotform.com/212437412171143
The WWW guide will be a living documents and will be updated regularly throughout the gathering this year. Unlike years past, submissions to the guide do not close, and will remain open until the end of the burn weekend. As we re-share the growing guide later this week, be sure to check back often as you never know what new plans the community may add to your upcoming burn!
These 5 fine folks have been nominated to join the Consent Team by members of our community, and they have graciously accepted! Now we need your help!
The most unique part of our Consent Education & Accountability Project - our public vetting process - provides an opportunity for us to increase the odds that the team members are always folks that the community trusts. So please, PLEASE, please - let us know what you think: https://forms.gle/ofbvt55JQeK4vSyGA

Years Burning/home burn: My first burn was 2017 and haven’t stopped bouncing between Mosaic and Lakes of Fire. More to come soon hopefully!
Read MoreOur #OneBurnerOneShift initiative is in full swing and, if your ticket has been secured, it is time to step up and nab a shift (or three)!
Regularly, leading up to our Experiment, we'll return to summarize where our biggest needs are for volunteers. This week we need to bring the fire in a serious way. We need volunteers to step up with effigy perimeter (13% covered), conclave (15% covered) and fireflies (17% covered).
Fire not your first choice? How about driving golf carts with TACO (17% covered) or you could help coordinate volunteers (22% covered)?
There are many more opportunities to explore and this burn happens based on your participation so let's make this happen. Visit mosaicexperiment.com/volunteersignup and sign up now!
Reminder! Consent Education and Accountability Project meets tomorrow night! Thursday, Aug 5 at 8pmET.
Learn more about how the Consent Team works from current members, and decide how/if you want to volunteer. We're seeking 3 new members for the Consent Team itself, and at least one "Education Lead" this year.
