Sacred Song Teahouse

The Sacred Song Teahouse is a temple for devotional singing on the playa.

There are many traditions of devotional singing, sometimes known as bhajans or kirtan, which help to quiet the mind so that the heart can open to the divine, allowing us to taste the blissful reality that is our true nature. Rather than being a performance in which the audience listens to musicians, it is a participatory spiritual practice in which everyone is encouraged to sing and express their inner joy.

The Sacred Song Teahouse is a Burning Man camp dedicated to creating and maintaining a serene temple oasis for joining our voices and diving into the Divine… together. We welcome the keepers of tea wisdom to join us in our temple space to sooth our throats with their mystical infusions. We welcome musicians to join us on stage and have a safe and secure place for them to store their instruments during the Burn. Together we create Magic!

StarBarf

Across the space/time continuum, through galactic upheaval and hiccups, we have evolved to this chaotic existence. Colliding and reforging, StarBarf weaves workshops, discussions, and movement into our shared vision of community. We strive to connect with beautiful and messy humanity; the humbling scales in which we exist; and the unbounded possibilities that we, as StarBarf, realize… You are StarBarf, too.
