How to Create your Workshop— Teleclasses
Tutorial: http://nakedheartcamp.com/How_To_Create_a_Workshop.html
Workshops
The most easily visible gift that Naked Heart provides on the Playa is our workshops. These are offerings crafted by our campmates. If you have camped with us before you have probably spoken with members who have led workshops and returned to camp glowing. Maybe that is what is inspiring you to lead a workshop this year.
Fully half of our camp roster this year has never camped with us. That means that half of you have no idea what I am talking about here. It occurred to me that I should create a new camp expectation. Here it is: If you haven't attended a "How to craft a Workshop Teleconference", please listen to this recording:
http://nakedheartcamp.com/images/NH%20Workshop%20teleconference.mp3
This is an important listen even if you never have any intention to lead a workshop. Our camp culture is our workshops. The way they are created is unique to Naked Heart and it is important to know the internal process that our workshop leaders have gone through to stand up and share this piece of themselves.
Each year about 25% of our workshops are led by people who have never led a workshop and have never been to Burning Man!! You can do this!
For Seasoned Workshop Leaders
If you are already leading workshops, especially if you do this as a livelihood, I need you to read this paragraph. The workshops that are created and led at Naked Heart are FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT from other workshop examples. It is tempting to take stock of some of your greatest offerings and pull one out of your bag to gift at Burning Man. That would be the easy thing to do but it completely sidesteps your own growth as a leader. There is an opportunity available here to completely re-think how workshops are developed. There is an opportunity to step beyond your comfort level and reach to the next plateau on your path. That is my challenge to you. Listen to the recording, attend the teleclass and re-imagine your process. My coaching to you is: "Lead the workshop that you do not dare lead in the default world".
If you already have your workshop constructed, you can submit it here:
https://forms.gle/qidUX3sYX1Mc4RMd6
The deadline for submissions is May 15th.
PRO TIP: Workshops are scheduled in the order received. If you want to have the best days, the best times or times that you have requested, submit as early as possible
Inspiration
You may have missed it on our web site, but we have an inspirations page:
http://nakedheartcamp.com/Inspiration.html
The first 2 are my favorites, but everything there is a real gem. Someday I will make a Youtube playlist of all of them and you can just binge watch them in bed :) There is even a form at the end where you can add your own favorite links.
This is actually more important than it may initially seem. We are a camp with no geographical center. We don't all get together for dinner on weekends or have big work parties. The only two places we meet is here in cyberspace and on the playa. This collection of inspirations is our creation story, it is part of the narrative of what we are creating. It is a little like the directions to some IKEA flat-pack furniture; if you are skillful and diligent, you can figure it out, but it is a lot easier when you have the directions. This page is a resource for you to use and to co-create. The link you add this year may yield fruit 10 years from now. Give a gift to your future self.
These links are an incredible download and attunement for discovering the workshop that lurks inside waiting to be born.

VIBE Team
The next Vibe Team meeting is Wednesday March 25th from Noon-1:30pm PST.
Dream of building Naked Heart from the inside out? One of the best ways to do that is to join the Vibe Team! We're in charge of building the camp's soft structures (not the physical ones). And we need your help!
The general Vibe Team oversees all the Sub Teams, but the Sub Teams are where the real magic happens! Each team is led by one person, who gets all their gift shifts (work shifts) covered for taking this role.
We are currently calling in all Leads to start managing the work! Each team Lead is in charge of a specific list of tasks, and can add more if they choose. If you're ready to join the integrated work of bringing the Naked Heart gift to Playa, email Lona now at:
We most need a Gift Shift Coordinator, Kitchen Coordinator, and Workshop Coordinator, but other roles are available too. Check out all the roles here:
