T-Car
WICKEDLAND has been turning the world of fairytales upside down from its inception in 2014. We believe each and every Playa Dweller has a fairytale hidden inside of them, and our camp helps these stories (especially the most wicked ones) emerge and see the light of day… or night!
Do you think you need to speak to tell your story? Do you think you need words to understand somebody you just met? The Wicked Mash Machine will free you of these perceptions. It’s part-game, part-performance, part-experience and YOU are at the very centre of it. Use the cube in the centre of the dome to create patterns of lights and sounds, collaborate with others and see what wickedness emerges!

Tantra Mantra at Anahasana
Tantra Mantra is a camp dedicated to the transformation and transcendence of the human condition. We integrate ancient esoteric teachings of tantra with modern self-development techniques to create a unique environment for experiences that prepare the ground for evolution. To envision and prepare the world of tomorrow we need to rewire our nervous systems and free ourselves from the old paradigm. Tantra is an accelerator of evolution. The context of Burning Man serves as an amplifier to these ancient Tantric techniques. The collective ambition towards freedom present during Burning Man is unique. It erases differences between individuals and supports the Tantric effort of transcending all false dualities. From regular morning energetic practices to one-of-a-kind ceremonies and ritual, Tantra Mantra embraces and promotes the change towards a new human agreement. We leave a great place for spontaneity… Expect the unexpected.

The Fountain (of youth)
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!

Through the music and art, the participants will express themselves using their unique gifts. The Monkey Hut community is committed to a radically participatory ethic.
