Hometown: San FranciscoGolden Gate Project
Best way to describe our camp address would be as if you were describing someone who has never been to San Francisco. Look for the San Francisco Bridge. Except at Burning Man our camp is best described by a 60 ft long, 26 ft tall replica of the San Francisco Golden Gate parked at our camp. When the Golden Gate is not parked at camp, our camp main entrance driveway is marked on each side by 15 ft tall wooden, painted in international orange, replicas of the Golden Gate bridge’s metal towers

“Gong” is both a universal cognate (the same word in virtually every language), and an onomatopoeia (a word that sounds the same as what it describes). It’s also a highly under-appreciated musical instrument, as it’s typically played loudly, but poorly.
Join us for sound meditations with gongs and bowls to explore deeper states of consciousness. Reveal your deepest self in ecstatic dance or by playing one of our many drums or gongs. Catch us at our Wednesday night camp party, or meet us on the playa as we share the same energy serendipitously!
