🔺 The Sphinx Gate – 34-foot winged guardians of transformation and self-knowledge. Your contribution will help us: build two monumental eyed Sphinxes in the desert, integrate immersive lighting, sound, and sacred design, Transport and construct the entire structure on playa, offer a transformative space that lives on beyond Burning Man.
🔥 Temple of the Deep – the sacred heart of Burning Man Help support The Temple of the Deep. It stands as a fractured black rock — an opening to vulnerability, loss, and transformation. Here, emotions are no longer concealed; they are honored. The Temple is a space of radical acceptance, allowing individuals to process life’s depths
💃 Mona Die Die – a meditation on impermanence, uncertainty, and chaos This year’s 27-foot wooden sculpture of a dice steps onto the tightrope between destiny and random chance, and explores the big, mysterious question: what does tomorrow hold? After the Mona Funeral March on Friday, the die will roll and burn at the same time, burning our external identity and narrative selves and revealing our core indestructible being.
📚 Moonlight Library – a glowing archive of radical imagination
🍵 Playa Tea’s Teahouses – a cozy space for tea, ceremony, and connection
We have space for 15 Bay Area camps to come with a table or pop-up to give a taste and create excitement about what you will be offering on Playa. Please reach out to
