Sanctuary is a village of long-time burners who offer spiritual exploration and physical celebration in a hospitable and inviting enviroment. Visit us for daily yoga, meditation, full body adornment, clothing gifts, discussions on shamanism & journeys of the mind, tea service, nightly audio/visual presentations – and enjoy our sacred refuge from the outside environment. This year in addition to our usual offerings we are pleased to present two full-featured lounges, an art gallery, a bridge walkway village entrance, and some elaborate playa-centric visuals and comfort!

Sanity Cruz

Santa Cruz, California is our home base. We are a community of peaceful, fun-loving and environmentally friendly souls. Our Burning Man theme camp is based on tranquility, harmony, love and sanctuary. In times of chaos and turmoil in the world, in our lives and sometimes in our own minds, what we need most is a peaceful place to relax. Its time to slow down, be in harmony with ourselves and with others and to be nurtured and supported by our friends and lovers. We envision that the Sanity Cruz theme camp will offer a chill space where fellow burners can participate in a relaxing and rejuvenating experience.

We will have soft carpets and pillows to lie on, cool herbal teas to refresh the palate and a relaxing vibe to allow you to move a little slower internally and externally. We will provide massage tables, relaxing music in several large shade structures where our guests and the denizens of our theme camp may indulge themselves in their own portal to Heaven.

SCARAB

In addition to providing staff for Radio Electra, SCARAB (Society for Creative Arts & Radio at Burning Man) prides itself on its unique art pieces and artcars, interactive events, and dedication to the Principles of Deep Fun. Now in its 3rd year as a spin-off of the Solo Collective, this years camp theme is Alien Menagerie (tying in with the alien worlds in the Vault of Heaven). Our WaltSnipe hosts a world music community dance each year on Tuesday night… come join us this year from 8-10:45pm Tues. for “Carnaval: Night in Brazil Dance” (simulcast on Radio Electra).

Seamsters of the InfiniteMicrocosm

The Seamsters Camp exists for those in need of sewing skills and services. We will provide sewing stations for mending and creating costumes and playa-wear. Damaged garments will be repaired. Boring garments will be improved. Unskilled seamsters and seamstresses will walk away with mastery of the art.

Our camp will also be a homebase for The Holographic Mirror art installation, providing guidance to its location and a place to acquire a pair of Cosmic Spectacles of Infinity. The Spectacles are needed to truly experience The Holographic Mirror but will also provide a different perspective of other playa art and our colorful city.

Sensoria

Sensoria – a 20 x 48 sensory depravation tank featuring our continually-changing real-time interactive video feedback screen, most closely resembles “melting crayon people getting aural photography”. 2-sided murals painted by Cornelious Starrconn.

Seventh Seat

The Seventh Seat is intended as a venue for camp members and BRC residents to share with each other advice, third-party decision making, and absolute truths as small as the universe is big. With so many empty chairs around, we will also be providing, well, seats – a place to rest in the day and interact meaningfully with other citizens.

Shadow of Heaven

Shadow of Heaven is the home base of Shadow of the Plaza, Reflection and the metal bugs and L2K. Come to our camp at night and do not be afraid to walk into the light. Listen to the metal chimes.

Shangri-la Village

Shangri-La is a Burning Man Village started in 2003 out of San Diego. “Shangri-La” has long been used as a name for heaven on earth. In Tibetan, Shangri-la means land of sacredness and peace. Shangri-la attempts to create that paradise here. Our true “Village” is the collection of people who have come together in this fine web of relationships throughout the year, bound by the commonality of attending Burning Man, and the love we share for each other.

Shangir-La will consist of at least 7 theme camps and interactive projects:
Rio’s Rodeo
PolyParadise
Seisen’s Zendo
Sexophonic Fire Tribe
Free Beer Tomorrow
Massage Confessional & Diyafa
Medicine Wagon Depot
Asylum
Boomshankar’s Retreat

Smite Camp (with Scurvy Monkey)

In 2004, Smite Camp returns for its mumbleth year to once-again deliver playa justice on a stick. And croquet.

As our expression of this year’s theme, we intend to act as a fulcrum point between our inner needs/desire for non sexual intimate touch, as all humans need to be touched, and our outer ‘socially acceptable’ adult behavior. Our own personal universes will be explored as a microcosm of the larger universe.

Join us as we host a variety of events and workshops, covering a range of sexuality & sensuality issues, as well as a personal meditations dome, “feed your lover” dinner, classes for all including movement, boundary acknowledgement and expression, intimacy building workshops and tantric puja.
