Activities

Burning Lamb is entirely participant-led, which means that all of our activities are created by you and other people like you! Please sign up to lead or facilitate an activity here. We all have unique interests that we can share with others, whether it's chess or kites or yoga, so bring your toys, and props, and let's play together!

Wandering in the Desert

Many of us have arrived to this land from somewhere else. One of the ways we can reconnect to our ancestors who left their homes and embarked on journeys across lands and seas is by walking barren lands of Panoche Hills in search for friends and yummy surprises.

Star-gazing

Bring a telescope , and let's look at stars and swap stories about the characters in the constellations. Transport yourself into the Egyptian desert, or to these Panoche Hills many years ago, when they were inhabited by the Native People, and partake in the humbling awareness of the awesome universe out there.

Drum Circle

Bring a drum, a djembe, a tambourine, or any other object you can beat a rhythm on, and let's discover the desert harmony together!

Tea Service

There will be a tea station in the Temple for anyone to land and enjoy conversing with a stranger, or a flipping through something interesting you found on the bookshelf.

Yoga

We have a lot of yoga practitioners among us! Let's join together for morning, afternoon, or evening flow. Practice your yoga teaching skills or being a supportive audience to an aspiring instructor.

Mindfulness practice

Through its vast space and sparse inhabitance, the desert naturally invites us to feel ourselves and the environment deeper. Allow yourself to be fully present, whether in stillness, movement, song, or other action. There will be silent meditation sessions on the schedule, and you can also explore the desert, the labirynth and the Temple at your leisure.

Fireplace and songs

Bring your voice and your lyrics wherein, let's sing together around the campfire!

Nature Scavanger Hunt

Challenge our young participants to scavanger the desert to find nature items on the list.

Shabbat

One of the best ways to welcome the sacred day of rest is by watching the sun set behind the horizon and slowly transitioning to warmer clothes, food, and friends. The remote desert gives us permission to pause our duties and chores and explore our skills at resting and restoring ourselves - whether in learning, exploring, or lounging in a hammock with a book.

Food

We all need to eat! And it's more fun to do it together! At this event everybody is responsible for their own food, however we encourage you to connect with other participants to create communal meals. Best practice from prior years was when people joined into small groups (~4-12 people) and prepared their food with some to share with new and old friends. When everybody shares, nobody goes hungry. If you are planning to share food with others, remember that you can gift as much as you want and you do not have to feed everyone.

Recreation/Teaching/Activity

We all have hobbies, interests, talents and skills that we can share with others. You are invited to join in activities of others, as well as add your own activity of interest. In the past, our participants have taught us the hidden secrets of Torah, the role of Tfillin and history of Warsaw ghetto uprising, led Capoeira, Zumba and yoga exercises, shared photography and poi-dancing skills and expanded our boundaries with Tai chi, Shaolin and Jewish meditation. Unleash your imagination, and take us to the stars! If you are interested in leading an activity, put yourself on the schedule!

Rituals

In order to create truly communal celebration of Passover, Easter or spring, we invite you to share the traditions, practices and interpretations that are meaningful to you. We encourage you to celebrate in your own way and share with others.
