About this episode
Episode 38 with Tex Burner (aka Tex Allen) is out now! Meet Tex Allen, a longtime member of the Burning Man community who shares his journey from a "weird kid out of suburbia" to a prominent performance artist. The conversation explores the transformative power of presence and radical gifting, specifically through Tex’s two major long-term projects: distributing over 50,000 clown noses to bypass social barriers and founding the Church of Hugs to foster human connection. Tex describes how these "social experiments" originated from personal moments of frustration or grief, eventually evolving into global movements that emphasize synchronicity and vulnerability. Ultimately, the source serves as a testament to the Burning Man ethos, illustrating how the principles of the playa can be "graduated" and applied to the default world to create a more compassionate and magical reality.
