This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Steve Brown is the director and producer of Spark: A burning Man story. The burning man concept idea has gone global, and he describes his fascination with the burning man concept, that it is not so much the final art works and pieces that are created, but rather the learning and relationship we form in the process of creating these sculptures and beautiful pieces. He also divulges into Maslow's hierarchies, and it all comes together incredibly to render a great speech.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
