110: What is Burning Man Really Like? (with Carl Teichrib)


Listen Later

In this podcast, we interview Carl Teichrib, an expert researcher in New-Age Spirituality, Neopaganism, the Occult and Witchcraft, who visits one of the most infamous new-age event in the world, Burning Man, every year. What is Burning Man? What is taught or experienced there? And how can Christians engage with those at Burning Man or other festivals like it?

Carl Teichrib is a Canadian-based researcher, writer, and lecturer focusing on the paradigm shift sweeping the Western world, including the challenges and opportunities faced by Christians. Over the years he has attended a range of internationally significant political, religious, and social events in his quest to understand the historical and contemporary forces of transformation – including the 2015 and 2018 Parliament of the Worlds Religions, Burning Man, and the United Nations Millennium Forum.

Since the mid-1990s, Carl’s research has been utilized by authors, media hosts and documentary producers, pastors, professors and students, and interested lay people. From 2007 until the end of 2015, he edited a monthly web-based magazine, Forcing Change, documenting and detailing the worldview revolution underway – points of pressure, forces of change.
