Had an inspirational bike ride today along the @grmiamiriverway #StorybookTrail and realized that it's a beautiful form of art AND education that we should consider emulating in #BlackRockCity.

Should I propose a #BurningMan Art Honoraria grant proposal to display #BMwebcast screencaps in Black Rock City? Let me know!

Filled with gratitude for everyone who made the 2025 #BMwebcast possible! Once I'm fully decompressed back home I will share more about what we accomplished and what the future may hold!

And just like that, the dust settles. ✨
The cameras are packed, the streams go quiet, and Black Rock City fades back into the desert.

To everyone who tuned into the webcast from around the world, thank you for riding along with us. You laughed with us, cried with us, witnessed the burns, and felt the heartbeat of this city through a screen. 🌎❤️

Burning Man isn’t just for those on the playa, it’s for every soul who carried the spirit with them, wherever they were. Until next year… stay dusty, stay kind, and keep the fire alive. 🔥

The media loves to highlight the chaos, the storms, and the struggles of Burning Man… but what they don’t show you is the heart of this city.

They don’t talk about the peaceful mornings when the playa is still and quiet.
They don’t talk about the community, the way strangers become family overnight.
They don’t highlight the art, the kindness, the creativity, and the deep human connection that thrives here.

Yes, the desert tests us. But what rises out of it is something extraordinary - beauty, resilience, and a culture that can’t be captured in a 30-second news clip.

This isn’t just a festival. It’s a city, a community, and an experience that transforms you.

The Temple is where we lay down our grief, our gratitude, our memories, and our prayers. Tonight it all rises together, fire carrying our words and our silence into the night sky.

For everyone we’ve lost, for the healing we’re still waiting for, and for the love that always remains. ✨🔥❤️

Every year at Burning Man, the Temple stands as a sacred space of reflection, release, and connection. It’s where we honor our loved ones, let go of what no longer serves us, and carry the weight of each other’s stories. On the final night, it burns, not as a spectacle, but as a collective act of catharsis. 🔥✨

Through the Burning Man Webcast, we bridge the distance so that Burners and dreamers across the globe can be part of this moment. Throughout the week, we gather Temple messages and deliver them with care, creating a way for remote participants to connect, grieve, celebrate, and heal alongside us. 🌍💌

This year, I invite you to join in:
Drop your virtual Temple messages in the comments for the 2025 Temple Burn 👇🏻

While these won’t be physically placed in the Temple, your intentions will be held in our hearts as the fire rises. ❤️‍🔥

From the sands of Baker Beach in 1986 🌊🔥 to the wide-open desert of Black Rock City in 1990 🌵✨ … and now here we are, 39 years later. What started as an 8-foot wooden figure on a San Francisco beach has become a city of 70,000 dreamers, creators, and adventurers.

It’s wild to think that the move from Baker Beach to Black Rock Desert happened 35 years ago, and it changed everything. The dust, the art, the fire, the community… it all grew from that leap.

Here’s to the magic of beginnings and the places they take us. 💫

🌙 As the Man burns, we don’t just watch wood and sparks disappear into the night. We let go, of expectations, of limits, of everything we thought we had to hold onto. In the glow of the flames, Black Rock City feels infinite, and for a moment, so do we. ✨

#BurningMan #TheManBurns #BRC2025 #DustAndDreams

🔥 The moment we’ve all been waiting for. The Man stands tall one last time before going up in flames, an explosion of fire, art, and energy that unites us all under the desert sky. This isn’t just a burn, it’s a release… a reminder that creation and destruction are two sides of the same coin. 🌌✨

This morning I stumbled across a little slice of Paris in the middle of the desert 🌵✨ a French café tucked away in deep playa. Café de Sables Rouge was serving up fresh French press coffee, flaky croissants, and filling the air with the voice of Edith Piaf 🎶. It felt like stepping into another world! Such a magical treat to find out here in Black Rock City. 🥐☕️❤️

Burners are a wild bunch. 😂 Even on a perfectly clear, sunny day out here, the playa surprises us, dust devils spinning into double vortexes like they’ve got a mind of their own. 🌪️🌪️

And what do we do? Stand back? Nope. We chase them. 🏃‍♀️🏜️ Watching everyone run after swirling walls of dust never stops being hilarious… only at Burning Man would this be considered entertainment.

✨ The Point of Unity ✨

This piece stopped me in my tracks. A mirrored portal that brings the sky to the earth and the earth to the sky, it’s a space where you’re reminded that balance is possible, even in the middle of chaos and dust.

Step inside and you’re surrounded by shimmering lights, reflections, and sound. 🌌 It feels like you’re not leaving the ground or flying away, but existing in harmony with everything all at once.

It’s an allegory for connection. Beneath present and future, between ideas and action, between what’s within us and what we manifest outside of us. Change begins within, and this art lets you feel that truth.
