Annie Dunlop (aka Entheos) made her first trip to Black Rock City in 2014, and she has attended every year since. In 2016 and 2017, she was one of the leaders of Reverbia, and has been a part of the large-scale art installations “The Journey” (2017) and “The Folly” (2019). In 2018 Annie was one of the founding members of Religious As Fuck (RAF), a group of Radically Inclusive Christian Burners, which includes members ranging in age from their 30s to their 60s. Many of RAF’s campers identify with the queer community, including Annie. Alex Leach (aka Gummy Bear) is an Episcopalian Priest, a dad, and a Burner. He was a co-founder of the theme camp Religious as Fuck (RAF) in 2018, and has been a Burner since 2011. Alex’s experience of living in theme camps in Black Rock City has radically transformed and deepened his experience of Spirit, Sacredness, and God.He now participates with his campmates in RAF to build a space combining authentic Christianity and Burner ethos.
