Where the Sheep Sleep 2023

Shepherds of the Flock

There is no Burn event without the love, hard-working sweat and (hopefully minimized) tears from all the participants. Our gratitude is endless towards the leads who work effortlessly with all volunteers, without whom this amazing energy wouldn’t be possible.

    This is a sign! Since visiting Black Rock City in 2015 I’ve been inspired by the Burning man community and principles. I love working and playing together with others.

  • Emily (FlufFit)
    Emily (FlufFit) Fluff lead

    I am Fluffit and feel very lucky to have the responsibility to fluff up all our volunteers during Burning Man NL events. I have been burning since 2017 and Communal Effort is my favourite principle. Every event I am amazed at what the burning man community is able to pull off and how volunteers step up and co-create. Meanwhile I get to get creative with drinks and snacks to make sure the volunteers are in te best shape to make magic happen. Come say hi to me at our next event and i will make sure to FluF You UP!

    As a build lead, I make sure that all our construction and practical jobtasks are taken care of . For me the best reward ever is to see all the magic after working up in sweat and creating something together. Build it, fix it and enjoy it! Come as a volunteer during the build and we will enjoy this feeling together, and who knows afterwards we might have a cold drink with it. We will FiXit!l

    Burning since 2014. As generators are not allowed on the terrain Where the Sheep Sleep is one of the few burns to provide you with a bit of electricity (power hungry camps need to communicate!)

    We are aiming for a safe and functional infrastructure to make the lights burn, the music sound and the art go bzzzzt! Lots of help needed with build and strike as this involves a LOT of LONG cables to run out!

    During the event we also needs some people to keep the lights burning. A bit of technological knowledge helps a lot, but we will show you the ropes!”
