If Burning Man is supposed to be fun, why does leading a theme camp so often run us into the ground? There has to be a better way. The January Campfire Talk brings you inspiration, ideas, and tactics to avoid leadership burnout from theme camp and village leaders who earned it (and learned it) the hard way. Our panelists represent new, small, medium and large camps/villages. Hear their tips and conversation with other Campfire Talk participants.
Note: This video includes the main talk and Villages breakout discussion. Watch the small camps breakout: youtu.be/3iKnkL28gjc, and midsize camps breakout: youtu.be/fWRiLBpNyVQ.
