14 Sep Lifebook Loves: Burning Man!

Somewhere in the middle of the impossibly flat, life-less and visually stunning deserts of northwest Nevada, a small group of amazing humans construct an entire city for 80,000 people… And then, it disappears without a trace less than 30 days later.

This year marked our first-ever Burning Man experience… and we were absolutely blown away.

Burning Man attracts artists, musicians and dreamers from every corner of the globe for a week of awe-inspiring, soul-stirring, mind-expanding artistry, self-expression and love.

Simply put, Burning Man is the most extravagant display of human creativity and potential that we’ve ever encountered (and that’s saying a lot!)

One of the most fascinating parts of the experience was that it’s a completely non-commercial event — which means no buying, selling, branding, or marketing of any kind. Everything is 100% FREE and gifted with love from members of the community.

We’ve never witnessed such a joyful display of experiences that lift the human spirit, address social problems and inspire a sense of culture, community and personal engagement.

If this is something you feel called to, you may want to consider experiencing it at least once in a lifetime!

With all our love,
