I wanted to share with you a project I developed this year called, The Lions Den. The Lions Den is a series of hosted talks, events and seminars that speak to the most transformative aspects of the burn directly, the intention being to turn things up to 11. Put another way, we want to focus on what it means to, "Burn Hard" so we can get A Lot better at having this kind of fun. In the end though, that will really just turn into living our truest and best lives both inside and outside the burn. I mean if you can wander naked, high on mushroom, through the desert, while talking to all sorts of people and making friends; it's really not that hard to walk into that boardroom on a Tuesday and show your boss how he can fuck off, but with love
With this being the first year, I am really happy to say that including myself we had four speakers over the three days of the series. I would personally like to thank my friends Badger, Kat and Jodi Swanson for time, effort and their amazing talks. You guys really made this something special and I couldn't have done it without you.
I have a few videos of the event I'll be putting up, the first one is below. With the success of this year I will be continuing next year, so if this speaks to you or someone you know, I'd love to find some time to talk. To kick off the discussion. I'd like to find better ways to share our wisdom, where modeling may not be the most expedient form. Has there been much work on how we can best codify the wisdom of our lives, through frameworks or rules of thumb, that could be leveraged to help find better ways to share with one another? I think that such foundational work would help a lot of people connect what they experience in existence and their ability to communicate what they have learned through that experience with others.
Lots of Love,
James
