Our Vision

This year SSV will be continuing its tradition of creating an amazing place and facilitating the combining of efforts, talents, resources, gumshun and elbow grease of a multi-national plethora of artists, teachers, healers, builders, performers, visionaries, and culinaries like you, to create an amazing, transformative, embracing, grounding, captivating, and engaging experience for each other and our playa family.

The Burning Man theme this year is 'rights of passage' and our camp theme is "reEmegence" with emphasis on the various dimensions of growth and change as demonstrated by the seasons, directions, elements, the human endeavor... the rights of passage.

We will be providing imaginative and engaging spaces, opportunities and invitations for participation on many levels. Utilizing our 50x50 Pavilion tent as the 'grand hall', a large temple space with an indoor stage featuring virtually constant activity,a dancing/performance area, sofas, pillows, low tables, altars, sculptures, art and lavish embellishment. This space will also be used for open yoga, tai chi, large workshops, transformational games, and other offerings. Connected to this will be our 4 30'+ domes representing their respective "rights of passage", of seasons/elements etc., Temples for our/your playa-renowned workshops and activities, art and experiences both interactive and inner-active.

plus of course... amazing meals (even better than last year), showers, a 'campers only' chill space with snacks, coffee/tea, the sweat hut and many surprises, both planned and playa'nd. ya !

Essentially and centrally there are 5 public access spaces.

1. The grand hall (50x50 tent) this is the center, the hub. home to the main stage, center sculpture/altar, dance performance floor, the public casba chill, a.m. yoga, interactive games etc. It is also serves as the port of entry to the four domes/temples.
2. The Temple Domes, most workshops happen here...
3. The south/spring (36' blue dome) home of water, birth, emotion, mysticism, intuition
4. The east/summer temple (36'red dome) this is the home of fire, sun, youth, passion, impulse, inspiration
5. Tthe west/fall (36' orange dome) home of earth, adolescence, stability, realism
6. The north/winter (36'white dome) home of air, age, reason, wisdom, communication and death

In addition to this central complex there will be various other more peripheral structures tba where certain select special needs type workshops may happen i.e extra quiet, loud or private.
