2006

 ** I found a First Place ribbon tied to the Rock Slide Saturday night. It read:

"#116 by Deep Heaven.
Name: Rock Slide
Event: Burning Man 2006
Class: Art that most changed my perspective
Date: Saturday

There is a 2' square yellow diamond reflective road sign with a yellow solenoid blinking light, that goes on at dark and during any whiteout, adhered to an a-frame highway stand (purchased, not stolen.) To fulfill the "fear" part of this year's theme, the sign reads "Danger Rock Slide Ahead".

Taking about a 100 yard walk out onto the Playa, you will find a children's slide, also with a blinking yellow highway light and reflective tape on the sides.

To fulfill the "hope" portion of the theme, there will be a lot of rocks, each one with the word hope written on it.

The instructions on the slide will suggest that visitors take a rock, visualize their fear, and put it into the rock. Place the rock on the top of the slide on its edge and let it tumble down the slide into hope.

If it lands face down, you need to do this with greater intention and come to Deep Heaven to amplify the positive. If it ends face up, the universe has granted you hope. The rock has transformed your fear to hope and it is yours to keep. You can still come to Deep Heaven to amplify the positive even more. 

Visit Deep Heaven. Look for the giant heart and adjoining temples at 4:40 and The Esplanade. We're open 24/7 with calming music and atmosphere for your relaxing enjoyment.

Poetry Playshop: Hope, Fear, Love and Poetry - Sproutman
This playshop will explore the duality of hope and fear that resides in love, using poetry as the vehicle for exploration. We will recite, create, and contemplate love poems in exercises and performances meant to illuminate how seeking, falling, or being in love (romantic, spiritual, brotherly/sisterly, or motherly/fatherly) inspires and elicits great hopes (of rapture, fulfillment, and bliss) and great fears (of disillusionment, loss, and despair).
