Miso Horny is all about refining ourselves and each other. We value humor, communication, playfulness, open mindedness, and creating strong meaningful bonds between one another. On the Playa we gift hot miso soup, sake, and herbal aphrodisiacs, as well as engaging conversations with our guests.
There are camps at Burning Man that offer public spaces for sexual play and exploration. While we fully support those groups, we choose to instead explore sex positivism by creating a safe event space for healthy dialogue of human sexuality. Our mission is to share ideas and philosophies that aid in the discovery of our sexual selves. We have created, and are always improving, a dedicated workshop and event space that is a platform for our lifelong journey of learning.
