For Burningman 2011, we celebrate Rites of Passage, those magical transitions and transformations from one state of being to another. When you go through a rite of passage, you enter into sacred, liminal space where you can be reborn. Going on pilgrimage to Black Rock City is a true rite of passage, changing us inside and out as we create a city out of our collective imagination. Living together for a week gives us time to enjoy family, friends, and the ‘hood.

I was inspired by a recent interview with Wes Nisker, author of Crazy Wisdom Saves the World Again! and other great books. He has a vision of what he calls the First Church of Scientific Science where people celebrate evolution from the Big Bang all the way to homo sapiens sapiens, chant the table of elements instead of Latin psalms, and say mass over replicas of Hydrogen and Helium atoms, representing the first matter created out of the energy of the universe. If you add the human rites of music, art, dance, drum, song, and story as part of this celebration of science, you’ve got all the ingredients for a Cleu-based church. I highly recommend you listen to this fascinating interview, full of mystical science and crazy wisdom humor, available in the radio archives on the New Dimensions site.
