This month the East Bay Burners have not one but TWO topics: The Temple of Grace and Playa Kids!
Temple of Grace
Tonight we'll hear from David Best, the visionary responsible for the Temple at Burning Man. David conceived and built the first Temple in 2000 and since then has created 9 of the 14 Temples. David is returning again this year to design and construct the Temple of Grace.
The Temple of Grace is intended to be a spiritual and sacred space for memorials, reflection, celebration and to commemorate life transitions. The Temple is a special work of art given to the community as a transcendent refuge where thousands gather, each to engage with it in their own way.
David will reveal details of this years Temple plus tell stories of past Temples at Burning Man, all of which exist only in photos and memories.
Playa Kids
So you think you're having fun on the playa? Think again! Kids at Burning Man run circles around adult burners. Their day beats your week!
Tonight we'll hear from the Black Rock Scouts, Kidsville, and a few veteran Burners who've yet to turn 12. You'll be amazed at their creativity, marvel at their Burning Man art projects and envy at all the fun they're having without you! If you want to bring your child to the playa or are just wondering what the heck kids are doing at Burning Man, this is the talk for you.
As always, our monthly events are free plus artist and kid friendly!
