Yes, it is that time of year! Burnal Equinox marks the midpoint between last year’s burn and this year’s burn. This is the first major event of the new burn year and therefore, you can expect a wide and stunning array of art, live performance, dancing, philosophizing, theme camp “indescribe-ables” and so much more! You are encouraged to shape the night by sharing art and experiences from previous Burning Man events and your plans for 2011.
In keeping with this year's Burning Man theme, "Rites of Passage," you are also invited to express transformational moments in your real and imagined journey through life. Remember those defining experiences that helped you come into your own? Perhaps your first kiss, getting married/divorced, an alien abduction, your very first white out, a birth or a near death experience that changed the way you live ... maybe an imagined ritual from a distant land.
You are invited to explore the theme through dress, stories, pictures, drawings, pantomime or other forms of creative expression. Join others in re-living or creating entirely new and curious rites of passage. These may be as varied as life itself and range from ludicrous to solemn.
So, whether you are remembering a previous year’s burn, dressing for your prom, creating a sacred procession of unicorns and golden earmuffs, or you skip all the fuss and come as you are ... this is all about celebrating what has made you who you are ... and want to be!
Regardless if this is your first Burning Man community event or your ump-teenth, Burnal Equinox is a rite in itself.
