Life in Shamandome CampSERVICE | FUN | HEALING
After a simple breakfast in the Kitchen Tent (our camp's kitchen, dining room and community hall), we meet in one of the public domes or chill space for a Morning Circle, to open the camp's spiritual container, and ask the spirits for their help, guidance & protection. We prime ourselves - healing the healers, so they may help others heal - and cleanse the camp, in preparation for serving the citizens of Black Rock City. We 'open our doors to the public' at 11am, for Power Animal Circles. Fairy Greeters welcome our guests and healing clients, smudging them, consulting them and guiding them to find what they came for. If you're fairly new to shamanism, you might assist a seasoned leader in conducting a circle. If you're more experienced, you may schedule yourself to lead one. Sometimes burners come into our space seeking quiet and solace. Our elder healing practitioners are always on stand by in case someone in genuine need comes to us for help. Or, you might spend your morning checking on our infrastructure, helping a camp mate fix their bike, or preparing a healthy midday meal. if you have no morning tasks, you can explore the playa. Lunch is a great time for processing the morning's events together. After lunch, you'll want to siesta for a couple of hours in the early afternoon. During this time our domes and chill spaces are open for workshops, mostly led by guest practitioners from other camps. Later in the day, our most-practiced healers to work with clients One-on-One. If you're on Greeter duty, you may offer our visitors advice on what healing modality might best suit their situations. Experienced guest healers are welcome to offer their services. Of course, if you have no afternoon duties, you are free to explore the wonders of Burning Man. We'll gather for a delicious dinner just before sunset. Music or an activity can turn mealtime into a party! Our evening schedule is changeable. There might be evening circles and workshops, as offerings present themselves, and you might appropriate any space which is open & available, to host an impromptu healing session or workshop. If you're in camp at the end of the day, you'll join the short Closing Circle, to release the spirits who helped us in our work, and close the container. Of course, the nightlife of the playa beckons, and you can enjoy a taste of the magic of Black Rock City before turning in for the night. We pace ourselves, to lovingly maintain the joyous service of Shamandome Camp. |
