Burning Man – light and art in Black Rock City, Nevada

Presentation date: 24. October
Presentation time: 10:15

It has been referred to as a social experiment. Post apocalyptic training. Some call it home. The speaker will be sharing his personal experience of his participation in the Burning Man festival.

The experiment is not about discovering a supreme being – it is about discovering what is supreme in ourselves. A re-collaboration of the spirit. A reminder to step outside our bubbles, put down our screens, and re-discover ourselves above the noise. To surrender, let go and co-create a world together.
