She traveled to six continents for Burning Man Regional Events, to get to the heart of an ever-evolving global culture that creates community in a disconnected world. She wrote a book about it, and we published it!
It chronicles her odyssey to
- Afrikaburn (South Africa)
- Black Rock City (USA)
- Blazing Swan (Australia)
- Burning Japan (Japan)
- Fuego Austral (Argentina)
- Midburn (Israel)
- Nowhere (Spain)
Hear Roxane's impressions of each wildly unique event in this audio travelog. She talks with Stuart about how she would work, Burn, write, repeat. They explore how Burning Man culture rubs up against other cultures as it spreads.
As an aid worker, Roxane sees first hand how vibrant Burner networks create positive impact. Burning Man events transform people, AND some people become Burners before ever attending a Burning Man event, by resonating with the 10 Principles and crossing paths with Burners up to new good.
