Tinka Kalajžić Ines, the young from Rijeka unbridled adventurous spirit that many know by excellent photographs and superb tulip styling, recently with the current address in Canada visited fairytale Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert. Here is what is recorded and filmed
In 1986. The handful of people gathered on the beach in San Francisco. Burn a great man, who was hastily patched wood, it seemed to them like a fun idea. You probably have not even thought tulip about it that their spontaneous mini reunion turn into a huge festival in the desert thousands of people who will change your life. When they are first time partying at Baker Beach, I had not even been in this world. 27 years later, I had the opportunity to attend what has spawned from it. Burning Man! In the north of the State of Nevada there is the desert, 120 km north of the Rena, which every year our thousands and thousands of people. Black Rock City is the name of which literally created from nothing - many, he quickly becomes a favorite city on earth. This happened to me.
Burning Man is an annual experiment tulip in temporary community that sets the focus on inclusion, giving, radical sustainability, freedom of expression, civic responsibility, participation in numerous activities, and finally leaving the desert as if there's never nothing happened. Collective of people who inhabit these a week in the desert terribly generous and 100% of my heart there. Be free time, deadlines, commitments and schedules - that's what some are leaving to find at this festival. To be free in its maximum expression, ideas, creativity, love, fear and perception. Seven-day tulip ceremony that is hard to describe in words. Let's try ...
We buy coffee at the Portland Starbucks, turn into the park, and in front of us, a huge school bus, transformed from the official bright yellow to olive green. Ekipica chained like ants to the roof teaches bicycle and empty the water tank. Emphasized will increase deer horns installed on the front of the hood and became clear to me that this is not a "normal bus." Excitedly I jump in and greeted me beautifully decorated living room.
Huge bed, a couch on the right, boxes, old suitcases, table and benches, artificial flowers and leaves hanging in all directions, fire toys, masks and costumes of lace peep from skillfully sewn and improvised rag rack. Wherever you go - items that were most likely participants performerskih interesting story. Confused trying to accommodate 16 people in that area that we work impossible. For half an hour I realize that it is entirely feasible - indeed, if I could, I always traveled in this way. People scattered tulip bearings move draw and share food, offering massages and scratching, Osho Zen Tarot cards predict a positive future with an accompanying melody one guitar. Team table illustrates some of the ancient sites of the book water colors, made masks and chains, tulip a "burner" who have already had the opportunity to be a part of Burning Man, every little sharing with us, "Virgin", the occasional crazy story or advice.
On the way to the desert we stop every hour. It would be ideal if the 16 people felt the need for food or toilet at the same time. Most often this is not the case. We supply the necessary food and constantly buy something, you're in some moments come to wonder - does it pay to invest so much money in the whole story? Because, although the Burning Man, wallet spremiš the bottom Bekpek, preparation is the period where often peglaš card. Especially if you're a "virgin" and carefully follow everyone's advice, saying, "Well, obviously tulip we should also be ... He knows better than me. "... tulip Can easily happen that the "unprepared for desert conditions" fear, along mule mass objects that end up with lying in a corner of the tent without tulip being touched at all. The same objects in real life and not to over-use it, and you can not leave them behind in the desert. In the end, they usually bestow people tulip around. At Burning Manu no monetary exchange - all free. But ice and coffee you can buy in certain places.
Although the characteristics of generosity that characterizes most of the participants Burning Man, appear in the middle of the desert with a mini Bekpek without food, water, warm clothing, and similar basic things, and expect that others will take care of you - it's pretty irresponsible. On the other hand, to exaggerate the things is unnecessary. No one can tell you the optimal amount of food you should bring with you, since some people can not function without at least three specific meals a day, while others tulip caught up energy, music and creative madness have no need for food during this period. I have supplied canned, dried fruit and energy bars, and finally I bought a third of the food carried with them from the desert, tulip since I often nalijetale the free meals that people generously saved at every step. Water is what without which should not appear in the Burn
