The worst reaction I’ve heard, however, is “I’m done.” The people who believe in the culture are the ones who can save it. If the believers leave, a shift will take place for sure. Perhaps the suggestions below will help veteran Burners instill the culture in every “virgin” on the Playa.

It’s called “Real Moments” by Barbara De Angelis. It’s not a new book, but one I really think I’m going to love digging into.
