| Happy New Year, fellow burners! The summer was full of experiences: Man burned, Amber Burn, and so many regionals have happened and left us in awe and nostalgia. We cannot wait to meet each other again and reflect, reconnect, and share stories during the time of the autumn solstice.

Let's dive into another adventure and say farewell to the summer before the hibernation starts. For the 9th time, we will gather at the local meet and greet get-together on September 20 - Kibirkštėlis! Come to share stories, inhale a bit of Burning Man dust and culture, and peek into regional events like Amber Burn. Workshops, music, art car, installations, and more surprises await you. |

Amber Burn has ended. Most of us went back to the usual default or continued the burning journey to other burnerverse gatherings. However, Amber Burn was quite a life quake for many, shifting the trajectories of lives. It awakened the senses, brought new meanings, and pointed to what is important. Check out the gallery for the memories.

Let's recall us, Amber Burn residents, how we were sitting and chatting during the workshops. Cooking food or building structures together. Looking at the burning art. The meetings, dancefloors, and hugging each other. It is not easy to describe moments like the impromptu hug of the community around the Tree of Life bringing it to life. |

There were many moments of the creation passing through us, as if some of us were immersing spontaneously in the character. Immediacy seems to work like a match; with a little bit of courage and the open heart, strike it, ignite it, and it burns, leaving us wondering what will be next. |

The temporality of the city also invites us to be present, experience life, and fuel immediacy. Immediacy helps to embrace life as an amazing journey and joyful experience. Remember the moments of magic, like the rainbow out of nowhere over the Central Portal, riding the monster-bicycle barefoot in Pievaya without prior preparation or simply noticing the King of Clubs, encapsulating the realm of the mind and the power of ideas, looking over the Tower. Which card did the fate deal to you? |

We collectively created the temporal city of Amber Burn that was full of joy, excitement, and inclusiveness, whether it was easy or challenging. It left an impact on each of us. So powerful! |

Amber Burn was also miraculous; and our lives are full of miracles, and so we have to keep believing in miracles. What was Amber Burn to you? The form for reflections is still open if you would like to share your thoughts. Appreciation goes to all volunteers and co-creators. Keep burning. The fire ignites the light, and it gives us hope. |
