Abstract
This comic book tells the story of four friends coping from personal trauma and stress as they embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. The storyline focuses on character development and growth as they travel to the Burning Man festival in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. This trip, and their desire to go in the first place, reflects open-mindedness and a willingness to engage in alternative forms of medicine beneficial to surviving and thriving after illness or injury.
