Burning Man 🔥 Is it all drugs, nudity, and tech bros? I’d like to dispel some stereotypes. FIRST of all, those tech bros throw some spectacular parties. 😜 But seriously, plenty of people out there are stone cold sober and just reconnecting to what it felt like to be on summer vacation as a kid again. Riding bikes around to see if your friends are home, while getting sidetracked into spontaneous adventures and making new friends. Radical self-reliance in a harsh desert environment. Discovering who you really are under the liberation of of anonymity. Not judging others. Not judging yourself. Watching a throng of humans racing… to be the first one to pick up a piece of trash tumbling across the desert. The power of an engaged community. Walking right up to art installations that could be in the Smithsonian—previous works have ultimately ended up on exhibition there in DC. Free workshops all day every day. Free everything, after you buy your $575 ticket and sort out the logistics of getting there. Some of the best hugs of your life. People mistakenly think it’s a place to barter—it’s a place where everyone GIFTS without expectation. You may also surprised to hear 50% of Burners are over 40 years old. The elders are secretly my favorite. On my 4th trip to the Playa, I slept 8-11 hours each night and reached new levels of self acceptance, self expression, and self love. Wholesome can mean different things to different people… Burning Man is whatever you want it to be. And whatever lessons you’re supposed to learn. And this year was precisely what I needed. 🫶🏼
