Every year we receive the feedback that the highlight of a camper’s burn was the workshop that they led. They had never led a workshop before but they stepped into the void, faced their fears and misgivings and rocked it!! You can too. Naked Heart has a special formula that allows you to step fully into giving your gifts (even if you think you have no gifts to give).
Every year around March, I host a series of teleconferences to guide campmates through the process of finding the workshop that lives within their hearts. We identify it and coax it out giving it form and substance. Much of that can be done here on this web page. There are also recordings of past teleconferences that you can reference.
WHAT IS A WORKSHOP
Workshops at Naked Heart are very different from workshops elsewhere. That is because Naked Heart is a product of Camp Contact. The mission of Camp Contact is to bring Contact Improv (CI) dance to the playa. In the tradition of CI every moment is a moment of pure presence and curiosity. It is an opening in the space of time to truly “see” another in somatic space. CI workshops are not based on an instructor taking what is in their head and putting into the heads of students. CI classes are experimental explorations of “what if we try such and such. Grab a partner—Go!” The instructor has no attachment to what your experience might be. The instructor does not even need ever had the experience. The instructor is simply providing the framework, the set-up and then sprinkling in the gift of permission.
It turns out that this is the best approach for workshops on a number of difficult subjects— masculine/feminine dynamics, human energetics, heart connection, grief, shame, pleasure, sexuality, etc. It means that you DON’T EVEN need to have mastered your subject, you just need the curiosity and the desire to explore it. I often urge interested workshop leaders to design the workshop that they wish they could attend. For seasoned workshop leaders, I recommend that they teach the workshop that they dare not lead in the default world because it might tarnish their brand. Inevitably these experimental workshops become a workshop leader’s mainstay in the default world 3-4 years later. Burning Man truly is a sandbox for prototyping new ways for humans to relate to each other.
Some of the best workshops do not even exist 5 minutes prior to the beginning of the workshop. This is often hard to comprehend if you haven’t experienced it. Let me explain how it works. You have an idea for a workshop. You write the title and description for publication in the Where, What, When (the printed program for the Burning Man event). You have only 45 characters for the title and 145 characters for the description. That is not a lot. It means that the people who show up for your workshop have only a vague idea of what they will receive. So your participants are largely looking in the same direction, but on entirely different pages. I always begin a workshop by going around the circle and having people state their name and stating why they were called to attend. By the time we get to the end of the circle I have a pretty clear idea of how to serve the group.
Much of this is covered in the teleconference calls. Here are recordings from our archives:
WORKSHOP INSPIRATION
When developing program, it is helpful to have a brainstorming source document. The Workshop Workbook is a list of ideas and potential workshop titles. This document has been compiled over the last couple years and is a great place to start.
Once you have a sense of how to formulate a workshop idea, let’s have a conversation to fine tune it. Eventually we will have a teleconference chat to hash out ideas and cross fertilize each other. It would be ideal if we could have a clear idea of our entire program by May 21, 2016. That will allow for some time to coordinate with other camps and determine the schedule prior to The deadline for publication.
For additional inspiration, I have included below the entire list of workshops which have been presented for the last 4 years. These are useful to see how really well worded descriptions can just suck you in.
