What an insane gift this life is.
•
It will take me a lifetime. To tell the story of this convergence. To express the depth of my gratitude for the family that formed around it. To wrap my mind and heart around the moments experienced - ceremony, prayer, embers smoke and dust, musical sunrise journeys, tears and laughter, translation across languages and lineages. It will take a lifetime to carry out the true intention of this project - to dance in the overlap of joy and service. To connect the energy and spirit of celebration and enthusiasm to the missions of earth stewardship. To listen deeply to the voices and lineages who have tended to our shared biodiversity for ages, and to feel for a way forward together.

The spirit of fire and the path of fire tending is a world I feel like a student to. Bringing a sacred fire container to Burning Man is a mission that I knew would summon an entirely new depth of learning in my life, and for that I am eternally grateful to the wisdom keepers and fire tenders who said yes to this convergence and who continue to offer to teach the ways. Candidly, often in the process I questioned my qualifications to be a channel for something like this - but again and again I’ve been reminded how the fire is for everyone. The fire is our ancient ally, our kin. And deep in all of us we know how to relate to the fire, how to hold and be held by the light.
•
From the absolute depths of my heart, thank you, thank you, to every single being who played a part in this convergence. To the wisdom keepers who traveled from across the world to bring prayer, ceremony, and song. To all of the fire tenders and guardians who brought their sincere care and insight. To those who helped build with us. To our incredible liaisons and support crew from the org. To all our camp family who jumped in the mix and gave vital support. To our beloved supporters and donors from afar who believed in this. To every single person that showed up to the circle with your heart open to share a space of magic and connection.

wow wow wow WOW. I’m simply in awe of this community, in awe of humanity, inspired beyond words…
Coming into this experience I had this deep feeling that I’d come out a changed woman, calling my mom on the drive up crying, knowing in my bones I was to embark on a journey I’d never forget, but I could have never expected how.
I feel the fire within me still burning, the flame that will never go out. Yet I could have never expected what changes would come about.
Building, working, laughing, crying, dancing, celebrating, mourning, deconstructing and now integrating. I’m exceedingly grateful to have done my first burn the way I did.
Thank you @the.fire.circle, thank you Camp Mystic, thank you @burningman and thank you to and all the incredible, talented and inspiring human beings I met within this BAD ASS community, I’m genuinely forever grateful, honored and in awe of you all.
Also, having a phone is so strange lol. If you have any photos of me out in the wild let me know. The memories of the connections, sunsets, sunrises, dust storms, blue skies, fireworks, passionate souls, goddesses in the flesh, happy cries, long hugs, art, loud and soft music, radical self expression are etched in my brain, forever be in my heart, in my dreams…
Coming to terms that this is my life… wow.. this is my life until the day I fucking die (out of this physical body). No one can tell me otherwise, because we get to choose our experience, we get to choose our reality. How fucking beautiful is that?!
WOW WOW. WOW. I LOVE YOU ALL!

Burners, please share your interpretation. I am so curious how you’d answer this question 👀

i wrote this song after i quit my career as a producer in Berlin. i wanted to stay true to the art and get back to what’s really important in life. i went back to my hometown and wrote this song in my bedroom. it came from the most honest version of myself and i think that’s why i still feel it so much, the same way i did when i was 23

This Saturday, we make it one year straight of Carry the Weight!

52 weeks, no skips.

It started with just the three of us after a rainy walk when Kieran proposed the idea. We’ve had rain, snow, ice, blistering heat, brutal coldness, and everything in between.

It’s been such a pleasure to see this thing grow and all the friends we’ve all made along the way.

This week, we’re hoping to get as many guys out there as possible to mark year one coming to a close and the beginning of year two.

If you’ve been on the fence, if someone’s invited you, if you’ve seen the posts, make Saturday the day that you come out and join us. 🙏

Check us out at @carrytheweight___

I asked ex-NHL goaltender Steve Shields who had the scariest hands in the NHL…

Most athletes know what it feels like to be in flow state…

But learning to balance on that fine line consistently is much easier said than done.

Ask yourself: are you a “giver” or a “getter” on your team and in your relationship with your sport?
