Hello everyone! This is kind of a shot in the dark but I was wondering if anyone had ever worked with Sanctuary at Burning Man. I'd really like to see how I can become a part of that if it is possible.

I haven't worked with them myself, but here's a thread on eplaya that may help you: http://eplaya.burningman.com/viewtopic.php?t=3092

As far as I know quals for Sanctuary are not the same as for the EMS team. EMS is staffed by 90-95% folks who are professional. That's not the same with Rangers. Having a solid background in crisis management (pro or volunteer) and a willingness to deal with the sort of cases we routinely handle is often enough.
BTW, this is assuming that your wife has been to the event before. Rangers do not accept volunteers who ar coming to the event for the first time.

Be careful OP, werking a shift in the sanctuary can be A LOT to handle, especially if you have never done it before... But alas, it is also very rewarding....

No. No, man. Shit, no man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' somethin' like that man.

I met a few rangers. Very warm people who seem to have a lot of empathy and a natural capability to get on other people's level.

We told her that the reason it wasn't working was because she ran out of blinker fluid. The next day she came to school and goes "You guys are fucking assholes, I went to Autozone and asked for blinker fluid and they laughed at me and asked WTF I was talking about. - Gumby
