We’re wanted to build the camp we enjoy immensely ourselves and are happy to share it with other burners who are looking for a place to relax and catch a breath. Our camp’s theme is Tea and serving it to wanderers of Black Rock City in our camp accompanied by workshops, hookah, eastern sweets, and temporary tattoos!

Hometown: RiponTantra Mantra
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 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. We leave a great place for spontaneity… Expect the unexpected.

Think of us as block parents for the burn, a place to pop your head in looking for a friend, a chill place to get your bearings or seek some advice on how to find your unique version of “radical participation.”
Our ethos is one of inclusion without expectation; we’re here to support each individual burner in finding their best burner vibe.

Burning Man 2017’s theme of Radical Ritual spurred us to create a Mutant Vehicle, a radical rolling church built on a truck frame floating around the desert with a mushroom-topped spire… The Church of the Open Mind! What a journey…

It stands vibrant, 30 feet up and visible from afar. This Mushroom on a Church, The Tree of Life or A Light in the Sky; we invite all interpretations.
In 2018, we brought The Church of the Open Mind back to Burning Man brighter than ever, and we look forward to seeing you in 2019!
