The 8 Billion
A movement for the 8 billion

Every fear
is a boat.

Fear. Doubt. Anxiety. Distraction. Anger. Comfort. Excuses. Yesterday. Every one of them is a boat, and boats are for turning back. We burn them. Not because we are brave. Because we are done.

Burn yours
The ritual

Five steps. Sixty seconds. No permission needed.

1

Name it

One word on a slip of paper: the thing that keeps turning you back.

2

Say it

Out loud, to at least one other person. "My boat is doubt." This is the step that does the work.

3

Burn it

Light the paper in a steel bowl. Watch it go. Say the line: "There is no shore behind me."

4

Pass the match

Hand a match to one person, by name. They have seven days. "I burned mine. Your turn."

5

Post the ash

The burned slip, your word, your city. Tag #IBurnedMine and the person you passed to. It lands on the Wall.

Which boat is yours?

Name your boat.

Pick one, or type your own. One word. No last names, ever.

The Wall

Every boat ever burned.

We fear no evil.
We fear no man.
We fear no boat.
