Hi my name is Tabitha and I am a proud pre Op Trans woman from Central Florida. I am planning my first trip to Burning Man in 2017. Not only am I excited as I love camping. I will being doing my own personal pilgrimage to the Goddess. As a spiritualist I think it is important. Also going out to events where love shines is a place I need to go in order to reflect. What happened at Pulse was devastating, a club I used to go to and friends many wonderful people. I even knew a gentleman who died that night. To me being around the love burning offers would help me greatly as a tragedy like that is hard to forget.
I would any advice for my first trip to Burning Man. Like what are the best tents to get that can stand up to dust storms? I love tents but sadly don't have mine anymore.
The community is about giving back to the community and I was thinking of ether bringing my camera. My business is doing photography. A burning I would gift photos to people,. I risk damage to my camera which I fear as again it's my business camera. Another idea is to give free tarot readings, meditations and hugs as a way to comfort and help those in need.
Anyways I am glad to join this community and can't wait to next year.
Tabitha

Welcome.
There is a ton of advice about tents here, use google with eplaya as one of the key search words.
Do not take anything to the playa you cannot stand to lose or have destroyed. Cameras require special care and can still die out there. You can search for that too, as playa dust and electronics can be a poor mix, and knowing beforehand will help you decide if you can risk your work camera.

I figured so won't risk my camera. I do want to contribute some way though so I think spirituality would be good.

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Welcome!
I'd say ditch the camera. The camera is what you do, hopefully not who you are.
Go to burning man to be you, not your work.
So many ways to contribute, take a road less traveled.
Hang out here, join in the banter, see what makes sense.
