Subject: your written input for the shamandome camp at burningman novella.
Earlyman, Barnaby ruhe phd, here. thinking we need to write a
compendium of shamandome 15 years at MASH unit at burningman for
stress relief, transformations, shifts only possible at burningman,
snafus. catastrophes typical of burningman wilderness ordeal that
Larry Harvey thinks is hilarious, and growthful. burningman
moments. what is shamandome and how does it stretch the working
protocols of therapies and mystical upwelling, and find THE NEW
PARADIGM OF THE WOUNDED HEALER.
what book can you contribute a shamandome moment. anything! that
lonely soul wiping the counters at the kitchen at 1am as a karma yoga
beauty action that blesses the camp and in secret. anonymous? not
exactly.
Khats handed a lost soul ODed at the end of burn week, and distraught,
needing to go to the clinic, past our job level, but she's the pro so
she'll make the call. But no, she plops him on the couch onto her lap
for a smothering hug he weeps inconsolably and curls up and in half an
hour she sends him off. sometimes the clinical response is that
direct.
Alan grasping the shredded remains of his Everest Expedition tent,
wind blown apart, we're cozy ensconsed in the truck watching the
horror. Typical.
11AM on the tuesday of the burn 13 years ago: i'm headed to the
healing domes fat from breakfast, wondering what the consternation is
on the street, dust and noise by our welcome tent. 200 have arrived
the first day for their shaman fix, oooops. ten shamandome healers are
already seated in the big domes to take clients. i calculate quickly:
it will take 2 hours just to sage the mob through the welcome tent,
and another two hours to wait for a healer to get to you. This is not
happy math.
Think Quick: i assemble the ten healers "take 20 into a circle with
you, teach them to find their power animal first off, then 2 minute
eyegazing paired up, then paired journey for your partner just tell
their newly arrived power animal to "DO THE JOB, WHATEVER "
it works. a paradigm of wounded healer is born at burningman at
shamandome camp, shamanism is available, suddenly, once you get your
power animal connected present and on the job. you are your own
healer. you are the one you have been waiting for. we are not here to
fix you, we assist your journey you take on your own.
we get you on your mountain, avoiding the swamp business of the
others, in your agency and authenticity.
then dr ruhe was supposed to write funny titles to WWW brochure of
events we would offer in camp: what the hell- "shaman's death" will
wake up global visitors wanting action at the burn. that'll cure them.
I write it as a title not knowing how it will play out as a ritual.
our all-camper assist at the North Gate of the Temple at dusk
Thursday, are clueless the same. Who will come. 200 show up with
their game face on. grim. Dr Ruhe in shaman over the top costuming
spits tequila on their face, insults them with provocations, "this is
for real not good, don't stay, you don't have to do this" ruhe warns.
no one quits. they are dead serious. what. respect builds in our
campers for these who come to their immanent death trip. what. Bliss
is aware that those who come to die are heroic and centered. to
purpose. but what purpose. Well in rituals that is something for the
participant to work through, not a performance, no show, this is
personal and deep.
we blind fold all of them, put a hand on a shoulder of the one in
front in the long line, walk them 200 yards further away from the
temple in the gloaming across emptly playa dust, take the first in
line apart, twirl them a couple times CLIP THEIR KNEE TO BEND WITH OUR
BENT KNEE, THEY CRUMPLE DOWN ONTO THE DUST IN GROTESQUE POSTURES OF
DEATH AND ARE STILL. shamandome campers moan some obscure unintellible
poems in chorus, waft sage, drum remorsefully, keen and wail, as the
200 lie still to their fate. a half hour later, our campers kneel
before each victim, take off their blindfold, whisper 'the job is
done, welcome home to the first day of the rest of your. life' or some
such greeting of the dawn.
the recently dead start crawling South, then walking then dashing into
a collection of newborn souls mobbed together into a mass of bodies
compressed, with the strangest OM sounding i've ever heard, where does
that deep growl come from, what humanity is altogether bonding on that
spot.
your stories welcome. Barnaby. i hope to cobble together a book to
distribute for free at shamandome at burningman, and with a link to
the book with photos etc... by august 15, 2022..
any thing you want to add. SEND PHOTOS to barna...@gmail.com
