Embrace the Chaos Celtic Chaos

John Walsh attended his first burn in 2013 as art of the build crew. Listen as we discuss all things Celtic Chaos and look behind the scenes at what it takes to build a sound camp.

I speak with Dave Keane, the creator of The Folly, an outstanding installation at Burning Man 2019. Dave is returning this year with his new installation Paradisium.
Paradisium will be a gorgeous grove of 26 trees located in deep Playa.
Dave Keane hails from Co Cork, Ireland and prior to the Folly Dave was the lead builder on a number of other fabulous installations at burning man such as the Totem of Confessions, The Lighthouse & The Temple Galaxia
Dave shares how he serendipitously ended up at his first burn, and how he got started building art on the playa which put him on the path towards becoming a renowned creator of BIG ART.
We discuss some of Dave's most memorable moments from the Folly, the plans for Paradisium, how collaboration makes BIG ART possible and the excitement that ensues when art takes on a life of its own.

In conversation with Carmel we explore how every moment in her life has brought her exactly to this point.
And how being part of the tens of thousands of people who congregate at burning man creates a transformative sea of experiences. A sea in which manifestation is magnified and love flows.
We look at the importance of self care, how to handle a difficult burn and how the frequency of one's own energy determines what we are able to receive in life.
The number one thing that Carmel brings to burning man every year is LOVE and a heart that's wide open.
Carmel shares how in her early burns people who were mere strangers only half an hour prior were able to bring out parts of her soul that she’d never accessed before. And her wish to bring that flame of freedom to as many people as possible.
