You may not notice them, but they're there. Guardians, protecting the Temple, keeping the space peaceful, safe, a welcoming sanctuary for all who enter it. In the words of their mission statement:

"The Temple rises apart from Black Rock City, an oasis of calm out in the deep playa that stands resolute, able to bear what participants bring and to be what we need at the moment we call on it.

"Behind the Temple stands a group that has quietly watched over those structures each year since 2002. The main duty of the Temple Guardians is to protect the Temple and those who visit it. We abide with love for the Temple and everything that it represents.” – The Temple Guardians

See you at the Temple.
