Dominique Welfare Lead
Hello everyone!
My name is Dominique. After experiencing the Big Burn in ’22, I have continued my journey by visiting and participating in the Dutch Burn WTSS and at Borderland in Sweden. The magic that happens on the playa and around the camps is so pure — it touches my heart every time (I just can’t get enough). Welcome home!
This time, I’ll be your Welfare Lead, creating a safe space for you all. <3 -

One of those multi-facetted beings, riding the waves of the cosmic ocean between heaven and earth. In love with creating life, discovering Self(s) and translating inside out what needs to be seen and heard. From heart to heart. From soul to soul. With a touch of sweet edginess. Burner since 2019 which broadens and nourishes my horizons again and again on different levels. As part of Comms I am happy to give something back.

Wolf TicketMaestro
The one who fiddles with all the types of shops and entries to make sure that everyone who wants to get in, will get in!
Understands your panic and despair (looking at you RV owners) but cannot be deterred by any Siren’s Song. Come by and hug him in person as the campdaddy of Tiger&Wolf! -
Mooniek Crijns Sign-Lead
(Making Signs since 2015 for BMNL)
For now I can make Signs if there is a demand for general Sign of the organization. Please let me know in time so that I can start on time. Please send me a mail, what you want – and the size.
In the past I painted all the sign boards, like the icons of all the Principles that can be seen at the gate. But also the signs for the Temple of Centre Camp and boards with the Camp names etc. and all the sheep that are painted on wood. -

Bart “Bunnyman” Prins Power Ranger
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 bright, the music blast 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!
-
4everJang Transport lead
No burn without bringing stuff to the Dutch Playa – and taking it off again. I have been transport lead since the 2022 edition, essentially following in the footsteps of my dad who was a truck driver. If you love road movies, come join me in one this year. Sign up for a half-day runner shift.

Maryse Consent
The magic of a burn is in the people and the ways we connect. To me, consent is something that is always present, or should be, in every interaction, everywhere. Like air: you notice it when it is missing, but when it’s there, it feels really good 🙂

Hi wonderful people! I am Jasper, your DMV lead. I am so excited to see your creativity in art on wheels and to get the magic started. I love to learn, connect, create, explore and experience as much as possible. As I learned in my travels a human life is to short to experience it all.

NancaLot Internal comms & Strike
Another sheep has found their flock—me!
I’m Nancy, aka NancaLot—born in Berlin, heart stolen by Amsterdam, and always chasing culture. Structure and punctuality are my thing, so naturally, I’m diving into internal comms to connect the dots and keep things running smoothly.
My first Burn was Sheeps 2022, and I’ve been hooked ever since! Tetris made me a packing pro, so I’m on the strike team—plus, I bring tools, snacks, and a helping hand.
Chat with me in German, English, or Dutch! Looking forward to meeting you all!
