Welcome to the very first episode of the Legendary, where host Celinne Da Costa opens the gates to The Playground of the Gods—a sacred space born from the Burning Man community, designed for soul-deep connection and transformation.

In this episode, Celinne is joined by Gerald Rogers, the visionary founder of the Legendary camp (known simply as “GOD” at Burning Man). Gerald shares his deeply personal journey: from feeling like an outsider in his youth to becoming a powerful builder of community and sacred spaces. Together, they explore how the camp came to be, the energetic frequency it holds, and the leadership lessons learned along the way.

This episode dives into:

• The origin story of the Legendary camp

• What it means to lead from a place of heart and humility

• The importance of asking for help and building in collaboration

• The role of Legendary at Burning Man—and beyond

• A collective call to rise, transform, and live legendary lives

Whether you're a seasoned burner or simply curious about what it means to live with purpose, this conversation offers insight, inspiration, and an invitation to step into your own legendary path.
