Description:

We understand the intensity that comes with several days in BRC. Time spent in the dust is filled with experiences and journeys that can make individuals question their own viewpoints, shift their perspectives, and consider life-altering decisions. We wanted to create a platform for these ideas to take form, resonate, gain meaning, and leave a mark on each participant's memories.

An annual Camp Hope tradition, Thursday evening's guided Self-Commitment Ceremony emphasizes the notion of accepting and embracing our whole selves. This ceremony invites anyone who wishes to officially declare their love for themselves and commit to treating themselves with loving kindness to participate. By holding this ceremony toward the end of the week, participants have time to reflect on their time on the playa and are given a moment to remember and hold onto throughout the year. Many previous ceremony participants have told us how often they think back on the commitment they made to themselves and the strength it has given them to breathe through tough times and embrace powerful moments. In keeping with 2018's theme, this year's ceremony will incorporate key components of the I, Robot ethos. We will meet at Camp Hope and are excited to travel together and hold our ceremony at The Tree of Life art installation as we feel it will be a beautiful and unique backdrop for our vows.
