It was a special @BurningMan - I watched the sun rise and fall across the desert, had beautiful encounters, danced, vibed from the sounds (Natural Symphony, Carlita, diplo were my favorites). The biggest highlight by far was holding the full moon ceremony by the Wisdom Totems. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ By Fri however my yurt was flooded with 2cm of water so I moved into my car. On Sat via radio they declared a National Emergency, and locked the gates. We were advised to conserve food and water. With talk of more rain and not being allowed out until Thursday, food and water began to be rationed and the power was turned off to conserve energy on many camps, including ours.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Spirits were still high and everybody came together to support and look after each other. The Burning Man spirit of radical self reliance and community spirit showed itself more than ever. It turned from spiritual highs and hedonism to chaos and survival. But the community showed up with pure love, people shared food, shared RVs & lifted each other. It was beautiful. It was a humbling experience and a reminder to be grateful for simple things that we take for granted, like food, water, energy and freedom. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ With most of the music stopping, the silence became an opportunity to appreciate the visual art even more. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ The Wisdom Totems, with their sacred symbols, were designed to be beacons of hope and unity. Many people told me that the light of the ten metre totems guided them home.
