Description

THE MAN

The largest and most central burnable art structure at Kiwiburn is The Man, a 4 meter high wooden effigy which will be burned on the Sunday night after the Temple burn. "The Man" is the core of the Burning Man festival, which itself has roots in an ancient pagan ritual, 1000's of years old. Read more about the history of the early years of Burning Man here. Kiwiburn as New Zealand's Burning Man Regional aims to inspire a similar bringing together of the community as in the early days of Burning Man: "Today a colony and soon, an international community of like-minded friends — all drawn by this towering effigy — a gateway to a primal ecstasy of communion, celebration and consummation."

THE TEMPLE

The Temple is a Burning Man tradition. Each year, a non-denominational temple is built where anybody can go to meditate, pray, perform ritual or just contemplate quietly. Many people choose to write messages to loved ones, or notes of things they would like to let go from their past, or simply thoughts they would like to put out to the universe and leave them in the temple.

As the festival progresses and more people leave their messages of hope, loss and life, an energy builds up in the Temple, culminating in the burning on the last night, a giant cathartic release of emotion.

The Temple will burn on the Sunday night after sunset.

eg you may need help with transport, or from a local in sourcing materials, or you may want someone to run a collective kitchen... whatever you need- feel free to ask.
