About this episode
Episode 78 with Francesca is out now! Meet Francesca, a long-time organizer of Dragon Burn, the first Burning Man regional event in China. Her story traces the evolution of this community from its clandestine 2014 beginnings on a small island near Shanghai to its current form as a resilient, 95% local movement that thrives despite sudden venue changes and strict authorities. Francesca highlights the unique "co-learning" philosophy between global regionals and the main Black Rock City event, emphasizing how the ten principles are adapted to fit diverse cultural landscapes. She relates how the radical self-reliance and communal effort found in the desert act as a transformative force, teaching participants to navigate the "shadow" of modern society with increased kindness, creativity, and adaptability.
