MAPS PsyEMS Overview

Sanctuary is a safe space created by the Black Rock City Rangers, Burning Man’s girl/boy-scout-like non-confrontational mediators, to temporarily shelter people who are having a tough time at the event, including many having challenging or difficult psychedelic experiences. MAPS supplies volunteers for Sanctuary who are interested in sitting for people undergoing difficult experiences, psychedelic or otherwise.
