I’m finally catching up on all the reading for BM. The article was lovely and gave me a good sense of the energy of the playa. I’m looking forward to my first-time burner experience.

There is an indescribable energy out there that I felt even during that trip. It’s magic.

At one point, I could’ve sworn I heard whispering. It may have just been some wind or a distant train, but I swear I heard something. It was when I was way out on the deep Playa that day, I looked around and didn’t see anyone else or any cars way out on the road. It was a little surprising but it made me smile, a lot! I was alone but I wasn’t alone.

To warm up I turned some music on in the car and got out and danced around. Just me and the Playa dancing together. What a feeling.

There is nothing so powerful as returning to a place like this that has so many spirits connecting to the land. This will be my first year to the Playa, and its funny – i have already dreamed of it almost just like this….population 1. Ben – did you see any reflections or hear anything echoing from your experiences during the event while you were out there? What was the strongest vision you had? Thank you for sharing this story.

Hi, i’m french and i would go to the burning man 2011, but u’m 19 years old, is it a problem to participate?”

Dupont, I think 18 is the age limit though you aren’t old enough to legally drink there. Check out the ePlaya link / forum and browse around this site.

Burning man is a big commitment especially alone (and I’m going for the first time this year as well) so try to find people to talk to or gain advice and help.
