Invite: Sanctuary at Afrika Burn 2008
August 26, 2008 at 2:15 pm | In Afrika Burn, community, emergent spirituality | 8 CommentsWe’d like to invite you to join us at Afrika Burn 2008. We are aiming to camp for 2 nights, arriving on Friday the 17th around noon, and leaving on Sunday 19th. The emphasis (speaking personally) is going to be family, so I will be taking part in childcare and facilitating an enjoyable, safe experience for the kids.
We are going to create a theme camp “Sanctuary“, planning to procure a central Bedouin shelter (with about 100 square meters chill/dance/sing/play/drum/tell stories/eat/sleep space) and around which we can pitch our tents. See the example from partycipation 2007 on the left. Besides providing a focus point, this will help protect against dust, wind and heat. We are hoping to pitch slightly removed from the noisier all night party spaces.
If you are “in”, then this would entail
- shared meals – cooking and washing – from lunch Friday to breakfast Sunday. Maybe this equates to suppers only.
- if you have kids, possibly a stint or two at childcare.
Even so, you are not obliged in any way – your level of participation is up to you.
