Radiant Seed
Radiant Seed is a temple devoted to radical ritual and reimagining our relationship to the wild. Radiant Seed is specifically attuned to elemental sacred expression and the cultivation of primal instinct through embodied devotional practices.
Our offering to the playa is the Temple of the Black Sun. Here, you will encounter interactive ceremonies and radical rituals that promote aliveness at all levels, as well as alignment with the energetics and body of the Earth. Ceremonies and activations will be offered twice daily at sunrise and sunset to explore the energies of the threshold and what that space might hold.
Come experience and explore your true nature with us.

Ragnarok is the End and the Beginning. It tells a story where destruction is necessary for creation to flourish. It is rebirth, it is recovery, it is rejuvenation, it is a renaissance, it’s renewal, restoration, and resurrection. It is what we are experiencing in our lives right now. It is Burning Man. And now, it’s us. We are camp Ragnarokk!

Hometown: New York CityReligious As Fuck
We are a bunch of people that speak openly about our relationship with God. Some of whom simply have found Christianity as well as other faiths to be helpful in our own spiritual journeys. When we interact with people at Religious AF, we are there to welcome them, serve them and answer their questions. We aren’t recruiting them, or asking them to join anything. We practice Radical Inclusion, conversation, prayer, and ritual to all who seek it: gay, trans, straight, high, sober, clothed, naked, polyamorous, monogamous, celibate, gracious, and grumpy alike. We have welcomed people in all of those categories and more because we also identify as those folks. We want to participate and co-create experiences that open hearts and connect us with the Divine.

A functional, safe, and easily-identifiable bike is key to an enjoyable Burn.

Midweek, we clean their chains at a mid-week event. We provide cyclists with MOOP bags to carry on their bikes, and make sure they have what they need for fun and safe rides all week.

You have been riding for what seems like days, impossible to decipher what time it is, the city has swallowed you and sent you deep into the suburbs.

Late afternoons: Chill games, D&D, Meditation, Unbirthdays, Body paint, and M&M drinks (Margaritas and Martinis). And at night: find your way home with a beautifully lit peace sign.
