Well I for one can say that dancing on the playa, at RhythmWave, with the sangha of souls who loved to move while dust was swirling and the wind was flapping at the shade structure was life-changing for me. I realized just how similar we all are and what genuine acceptance and love feels like. I've tried to live it in my default life every day since the last dance on the playa.

2007- It's Monday night and the auspicious night summons a lunar eclipse. The bamboo boards provide a welcoming home as Shpongle radiates through the crisp night. Although alone, I was anything but lonely, soaking in the solace of Rhthym Wave's sacred space of stillness amidst a torrent of chaos permeating the rest of the Playa.

2008 - I wake up to Burnday and realize i have not yet been to Rhythm Wave. Needing to lubricate my joints and my soul, I roll up and start the day with yoga amongst other radiant beings. Playfulness abounds as the wave begins; shining all the while I make contact in flow, explode in chaos, and melt into a cuddle healing in stillness with a new special friend. I am forever grateful for the oasis of all my bodies that is Rhythm Wave.

In 2008 I travelled to Burning Man with the Green Tortoise Travel Co. -- great way for a virgin to get acclimated. A woman from NY suggested that I go with her to the Rythmnwave Camp to experience ecstatic dancing modelled after the 5Rythmns of Gabrielle Roth. That was a lot of info to absorb. I was more intrigued by her stating that ecstatic dance was among the best experiences that she ever had, and that it put her on a level of high similar to that which she felt when she was on E. So --- I went with her, and returned again and again. RythmnWave became the center of my Black Rock City life. On the BM census form, I listed RythmnWave as the best of BM. The RW folks are kind and welcoming in a humble comforting manner. The great music and the dancing with and among those on the floor propelled me to a higher level of being. I am looking forward to this year at RythmnWave.

I arrived at the camp at 10am in the morning after a full night of solo driving, buying last minute stuff, and roadside sleeping. The morning Sweat was in session. I parked my car. Started dancing. Delicious crowd. I had danced with about half of them before. Here, in the middle of nowhere, I was home. - Boeuf Tartare (“Boof”)

Being introduced to your camp helped solidify my commitment to finally attend Burning Man. Over the years, as each year went by, I assumed Burning Man was becoming a bigger, annoying, yahoo, tailgate party lacking any depth of experience that interests me. Upon arriving, I started to feel my suspicions were correct. However, your camp was an oasis. I can't thank you, and everyone involved, enough for completely turning my experience around. Such a positively intentioned space of trust and safety is exactly the sort of magical environment we all seek in our lives and travels. The vibe I felt there and the people I met helped me accept, relate to, and enjoy so much more of what was going on around the entire city. It's hard to explain, but connecting to people so deeply at your camp helped me realize that everyone at Burning Man had come from all over for their own deeply felt reasons. We were all there together, passionately, and that was a common ground that I could use to relate to the rest of Burning Man from then on."
