On the trail or on the playa, many of us truly feel like we can be ourselves, we are home. And it can be hard to be that person in the every day humdrum world.
Just like regional Burns occur around the world, from Israel to South Africa to Arizona, Minnesota, and Joshua Tree, so do Decompression events, particularly following the main Burn in Black Rock City Nevada. Here in California, both the LA and the San Francisco Decompression takes place Sat Oct 14. Starting in the afternoon, and going on into the night. Like Burning Man itself, these are family friendly events and Kidsville will be have a presence at both. You might even find me at Kidsville in LA teaching people how to make their own mouthwash and sharing the 10 Principles Coloring Book and some crayons!
From the SF Decompression team:
It’s scary in Northern California right now. The fires raging in the North Bay have caused heartbreaking damage to the homes and livelihoods of thousands of people, including many in our community, and the ash and smoke have blown all the way to the Bay Area. It’s hard to imagine holding Decompression here during all this — but we are. It’s important.
We have to come together in times like these. Being in community breeds resiliency far better than staying home. And as always, when there are urgent community needs during a Burning Man event, groups of participants have organized relief efforts at Decompression:
- * Skinny Kitty Teahouse is collecting clothing (shirts, pants, socks, shoes, new underwear) for adults and children, canned food, blankets, pillows and toys.
- * The Kazbah is collecting socks, boxers, tote bags, potatoes, onions, blankets, sleeping bags and pillows.
- * Burners Without Borders is holding a tool donation drive at Decompression. Details here: http://bit.ly/2wUkO0d
Please bring only items detailed here, and make sure they’re in good condition, or they may not be accepted
For your health and safety, check the air quality on Saturday and bring breathing masks for yourself and a few to share. Radical Self-reliance, Civic Responsibility and Gifting matter even more right now.
Once again, The Altervision 3D Blacklight Experience is a feature at LA Burning Man’s annual Decompression Event in downtown LA.
Altervision is an immersive environment to new heights.
Although set up all day, The Altervision is best experienced after-dark
