Going to Burningman!
Well, it's only days away and an adventurous spirit has taken me over these last several weeks and has been taunting and beckoning me, finger outstretched in a come hither I dare you kind of gesture to take this journey. So lately, I've decided to embrace that courageous part of me and say 'yes' to things instead of giving in to the excuses we have for staying right where we're at doing what is common place and comfortable.
Since I made the decision I can already feel it in my bones and am caught up in the vortex that is burningman. I am so excited I can hardly stand it.
I've been meeting all sorts of new and wonderful people and am in with the Entheon Group (A-4) which is camping a la 'lifestyle and the rich and famous style' As a newbie is a very fine way to do the event for the first time. They are one of the largest theme camps and build an incredible temple where they host a lot of art and do a spiritual lecture series amongst other things. They cover all our water and all our food preparing gourmet vegan meals throughout the day, smoothies, tables of fruit, a veritable cornacopia of delectable delights. They have showers set up for everyone to use (once a day), they have satellite internet access, power for anyone who needs it, a line of RVs setup to block as much playa dust as possible for all the rest of us campers. As far as accomodations go, I'd say I'm in good hands.
At lot of the people I know that usually go are unfortunately not going this year so I will be forced to explore a bit and make new connections. If however you are going and you read this, drop me a line and maybe synchronicity will have as running into each other on the playa!
