Akashic Depot
Pull your desert worn self into the Akashic Depot and experience rejuvenation beyond imagination. What does "Akashic" refer to, you ask? The "Akashic Records" is a theosophical term referring to an universal filing system which records every occurring thought, word, and action. The records are impressed on a subtle substance called akasha. In Hindu mysticism this akasha is thought to be the primary principle of nature from which the other four natural principles, fire, air, earth, and water, are created. Some indicate the akashic records are similar to a Cosmic or collective consciousness. The records have been referred to by different names including the Cosmic Mind, the Universal Mind, the collective unconscious, or the collective subconscious. Others think the akashic records make clairvoyance and psychic perception possible. It is believed by some that the events recorded upon that akasha can be ascertained or read in certain states of consciousness. Such states of consciousness can be induced by certain stages of sleep, weakness, illness, drugs, and meditation so not only mystics but ordinary people can and do perceive the akashic records. The akashic records are the macrocosm of the individual subconscious mind. Both function similarly, they possess thoughts which are never forgotten. The collective subconscious gathers all thoughts from each subconscious mind which can be read by other subconscious minds. Come see us and access the collective mind through the breath, yoga, craniosacral release or enter the dreamtime using our Hemi-Sync technology system that uses binaural sound frequencies to induce a state of dreaming while remaining awake. Or just stop by and cool off, especially if you have good jokes. Most beautiful shade this side of center camp!

By now, fully buzzed, everyone remembered Jack Straw asleep @ camp. Hoping to get home before daylight, thinking they just might still get some sleep tonight, everyone checked into the Brokedown Palace. Jack never knew what he missed.

Big Craps for Little Hands
Gambling itself is a desert form, inhuman, uncultured, initiatory, a challenge to the natural economy of value, a crazed activity on the fringes of exchange. - Jean Baudrillard

God does not play dice with the universe. - Albert Einstein

Gods dice always have a lucky roll. Sophocles

Shamans sticks. Throwing bones. Rolling dice. Hazard, knucklebones, craps.
The worlds oldest game, writ large. The back-alley obsession of kings, commoners and fools, on a superhuman scale.
Bring only what you can lose. Chase the point and hate the snake. Respect the boxman and tip the stick, lest you run afoul of the house, and blow the precious little nut that you have. All we ask is the shirt off your back. All we offer is the faint hope of a desert-hot hand.
The table is yours.

Campers Against Rapid Deceleration
Rapid Decleration is the cause of most deaths in the world. This camp proselytes against rapid deceleration to save lives. If you do have to move fast, slow down slow. It's stopping too fast that gets you into trouble. Don't launch projectiles that could potentially stop too fast in someone else's body. Don't accelerate a vehicle that cannot be stopped. By the way, who took the name crooked halo? That is my name, I have it for some very good reasons, and I'm going to find you for taking it from me. I have it on my ranger badge, you imposter. Don't worry though. We'll talk about it and no projectiles will have to rapidly decelerate...

Camp Glass
The glass equivalent of Recycle Camp. Have you ever noticed how the only non-crap beers available in aluminum cans are Corona and Heineken?

Drop off your empty glass bottles (not just beer, but liquor too) at Camp Glass and we will wash them, strip labels, sort them, crush them, and melt them into Burning-Man-shaped glass necklaces for you and your friends to wear. Depending on how much $$$ we have, we may also have the glorious minimalist strains of composer Philip Glass cranked during your visit.

Camp Papillon (Camp Butterfly)
Camp Papillon celebrates the three phases of the mind: the conscious as the caterpillar, the subconscious as the cacoon and the unconscious enlightenment of the butterfly. The interactive art of the caterpillar will allow the participant to venture through its intestines. Mid-week, Burningman participants will aid in the metamorphoses of the butterfly, and (hopefully) the butterfly will take flight and loom over the camp for the rest of Burningman.

Campo Alegre
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. We welcome you all to come into our garden of eyeballs, as we peer into the innermost parts of the psyche at Campo Alegre. During the day, we invite you to take part in Masked/Unmasked. We recognize that the self is a beautiful and ever-changing collection of actions and ideas. We ask you to bare yourself, inside and out and to take up another self as we photograph you in a different physical mask. When night falls, we dig deeper in to the sexual subconscious in Motel 616. On the the playa, many of us long to make a physical and spiritual connection with a special person or persons. And yet many of us cannot find a comfortable place for that _expression. We invite you and your partner to put on a fluffy, white robe and step into a refreshing, clean space. Think of it as a secluded, oasis in the desert where you are free to express your deep connection on the bed or anywhere else you desire in the Motel. Shadows gives substance to your inner fantasies, as a soft light shines on you so your movements are projected on the outside of the tent. After all, we all like to watch too.

Withering Tights is a haven for tired bodies to renew and revitalize through spirit consciousness and stretch.

Those wishing to participate in our morning and evening guided stretchs are asked to bring a towel, blanket or yoga mat. However, those wishing to simply lie down on the desert floor without benefit of an added surface may do so gleefully.
Witering Tights will be easy to find simply by looking for the plethora of colorful tights blowing blissfully through the air.

Cheeze and Lemonade
Cheese & Lemonade Camp. Remember when you were a kid, in the front yard, mom was jammin out to Seals and Crofts in the kitchen, you and your friends at your lemonade stand in the front-yard, hot summer sun, sugar rush, sticky clothes, sticky faces, sticky fingers. And how fun was it when the dog licked it off you? And you all ended up naked running through the sprinklers. And strange Mr Diggles next door. What was his deal anyway? Now kids, this is your grand opportunity to reach deep back into your, PSYCHE.. The sticky, pink part, where you will find the same kids (us), the same cheesy music, the same sticky fingers. And yes, WE’RE jammin out to Seals and Crofts. And Journey! And Peter Frampton! Note for the historically uneducated: cheesy music pairs perfectly with boozy lemonade. Yes, booze and lemonade. So pop on by, hang in our front yard, play in our back-yard, Or just pour lemonade all over yourself and dance in the sunshine. If you’re a lucky dog, some stranger might come on by and offer you a bath. Looking forward to a little afternoon delight.
