Always present, embracing every moment, every depth, every struggle, every tear of sadness and joy.

I was called to this magical desert on short notice, while life was showing me the alignment and the ease to make it happen. I felt no doubt once I made the decision.

Strong lessons came about taking care of logistics more carefully. My angels and ancestors were always having my back. I was always safe, supported by divine hands, better than I could have planned.

It is in the dark where the light of people’s hearts can be seen clearly. A space of humbleness led me to a safe, caring, well-organized place.

A twist came with the next sunrise. Moving on divine timing, I was connecting with thousands of hearts and recharged by the subtle power of the sun (no exaggeration).

I valued my capacity to enjoy my own and only company, and more than ever recognized it as a strength. The freedom of allowing the beat of my heart became a privilege, which made me dance to the finest music in town and meet extraordinary souls, living their best life on earth.

I recognized and appreciated the importance of a supportive crew of people. I felt especially loved by friends.

Self-care and my daily habits were not altered. Even with limited showers, my body and hair were always clean. I even made the time for my regular face massages. Nourishing and sleeping were honored as well. I am very fortunate to have passions that don’t change just because the environment is different.

It’s been weeks now since my time at Burning Man, and I still feel high from the uplifting experiences. I feel energized, inspired, and motivated to keep doing what I love: providing a consciously curated space for those who honor the pleasure of self-care.

I also can’t ignore how challenging it has been to re-adapt myself to this reality, where endless celebration, radical expression, art, music, people in their best attitude, sharing, caring, and community organization is not the “normal.”

I’ve found that self-motivation, leaning on friends, yoga, meditation, taking more time in preparing my meals, and even adding extra decoration have helped me in this decompression.

I feel a strong drive this time to truly prepare for my next experience at this intense yet dreamy event.

Until the rhythm of life reunites us again, I am here, in the present.

Loyal to myself, devoted to making life significant and beautiful.

I found myself in complete satisfaction.

Proud of every decision of my life that brought me into this instant.

Living in the beauty without ignoring the pain of the planet.

My essence felt brighter than any extravagant outfit.

I was honest, in touch with myself the whole time. I organically connected with other humans on the same frequency, the frequency of true joy and mindful talk.

Unpretentious, contributing in a community.

Sometimes choosing to explore on my own, I lived amazing experiences meditating, dancing, looking cool art, people, and even leading three yoga classes.

Equilibrium was a big part of my journey.

Dedicated time to be in silence, exercise, take care of my health, and being open to the unexpected.

Allowing the desert to navigate me through the day, endless nights, and be most peaceful sunrises.
