"What is the song of a community that seeks to live within its means and in harmony with nature? What is the highest vision we are capable of bringing forth? What is the most beautiful story we could write about humanity?" ~ Day Sanchez
SOLARPUNK SOLSTICE - An Un-Masquerade
Join our evolution revolution as we harness the booty-shaking music, big art, mesmerizing performances, and Burner Community connection that made Steampunk Masquerade so special… and infuse it with a new intention: bringing about a beautiful, verdant, and liberated future world for humanity! We are alchemizing this intention into a new event: Solarpunk Solstice: An Un-Maquerade, an invitation to be our full authentic selves, dance with joy, create with freedom, connect with life, and collectively imagine the most beautiful, regenerated, reconnected future for humanity and our planet!

COME TOGETHER IN JOY
Yeah, there are some crazy, heartbreaking things going on in our country and around the world right now (like the dismantlement of DEI initiatives). We're coping the best way we know how:
💜 By leaning into our community for support
💜 By leaning into our joy (joy can be an act of resistance!)
💜 And by celebrating the tremendous bounty the Earth provides so generously (perfect for the summer solstice!)
The solstice is a time to celebrate the sun, sunlight, warmth, and heat. We celebrate the longest day of the year. We celebrate the origin of life, we honor photosynthesis and the solar biosphere, the cyclical nature of our earth, and we dance to a circadian rhythm.
WHAT IS SOLARPUNK?
In the words of Day Sanchez:
Envision a world where we live in service to the planet and the well-being of our communities. Every person has a unique role. Each being has a gift and offering to the world that sustains and nourishes them with energy and resources to accomplish their mission.
Imagine a world in which humans and nature are flourishing and thriving. In this vision, we live in a symbiotic alliance that honors and respects our relationship with nature and each other.
