Dear Burning Man Community,

We are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity to join us in Burning Man 2024. The Meeting of the Masters (MOTM) community, known for its transformative gatherings that foster deep connections and personal growth, is bringing its magic to the Playa. Our ‘open to all’ dinner salon brings together LA’s most innovative and independent thought-leaders, artists, and entertainers. We are on a mission to “feed the Playa” for the second time, with delicious gourmet cuisine, and we invite all major theme camps to join us in this endeavor.

### Why Collaborate with us?

- **Feed Over 1,000 People Daily**: We plan to serve over 1,000 people per day, providing free, delicious, and nutritious meals to the community. Imagine the joy and connection that shared meals can foster among Burners.

- **Gourmet Cuisine**: Our menu will include a variety of gourmet dishes, primarily vegan, inspired by the heartfelt story of Guy Shalem’s 2006 “Hummus Factory,” where nourishing food and meaningful connections were made on the Playa.

- **Our Heart and Soul**: Experience the unique community spirit, where we blend the principles of radical inclusion and communal effort with our tradition of personal transformation and connection.

### Read Our Story

We ask of you to read the short story from 2016 that touched the hearts and minds of the Burning Man community and inspired our participation this year. Guy Shalem’s story of “Toby’s Hummus Factory” is a testament to the power of food and connection, and how these simple acts can lead to profound experiences on the Playa.

### Call to Action

We are looking to partner with an existing theme camp that shares our vision and values. Whether you can host our community or simply collaborate with us, your camp members will benefit from our gourmet meals and the enriching experience we bring.
