100% Solar Powered Website: Hosted by SolarWeb REGISTRATION IS FULL...we have a waiting list of 50 people. We are part of Entheon Village this year! About Entheon Village: Entheon, meaning “a place to discover the spirit within,” is an effort to promote sustainable cultural re-evolution that heals relationships between the people of the earth and our planet. The mission of Entheon is to demonstrate a future in which sustainability, ecological responsibility, environmental stewardship, and meditative and mystical consciousness are a welcomed and integrated part of society, and where art, spirituality and creativity is central to that vision. Entheon will be a grounded gathering place offering an intellectual, therapeutic, artistic and creative cornucopia of interactive opportunities. Lectures, workshops, renewable energy demonstrations, visionary art, zen meditation in a zendo, holotropic breathwork sessions, and performance come together in the spirit of celebration to co-create our shared vision of global healing and a broader awareness of ecological responsibility. Entheon will be a showcase for ecological best methods and renewable power. Our kitchen will serve locally farmed organic produce, all water will be procured locally, we will have solar thermal showers, a very large photovoltaic power installation with an artistic UFO solar saucer, a wind generator atop a 45' dome, a biodiesel cogen unit and a gasifier - all tied together to our camp's electric grid.Behind the public interactive spaces, a community of about 250 campers will live and eat together. Provided with sites for rest and reflection, members of Entheon will experience nourishing, private moments to rejuvenate and enable them to offer a constant flow of interactive experiences to the Burning Man community.
About Evolutionary Center: The Evolutionary Center is a theme camp that has emerged out of the Greening Burning Man movement, which is focused around creating a more sustainable Black Rock City culture. The camp community provides workshops, leadership, resources and tools to educate and inspire Black Rock City citizens to live more softly on the Earth, both on the playa and off, and collaborate with other "green camps" to unify the mission of greening Burning Man. Through this work in a village microcosm, we seek to form successful models and community structures that can help to initiate more sustainable development on a planetary scale. This year at Burning Man we had quite a success! We were listed as a model camp on the LNT Tour (Leave No Trace) organized by the Earth Guardians. We were green from start to finish, and invite you to take a look at the DPW’s MOOP Map (matter out of place) and see that the whole area around us was green as well from our extra efforts of cleaning up the playa. We continued that effort by greening BM Decompression events in LA, SF, and beyond creating a template for regionals to build off of (see LA green page here). The Burn Clean Project provided lighting for the man base this year, they got bio-diesel onto the playa- many camps, the man base, the staff commissary, and the greeters station all running on bio-diesel generators. They are an excellent team filled with resources on how to go green on the playa, check out their website for more info: www.Burncleanproject.org Please take a look at pictures from this last year for a glimpse of what we created, however it really takes being on the playa to get the full experience and pleasure of this creation. We also participated in the Toxic Avengers, stopping carpets, plastics, and more from being burned - and helping BM recycle 16 tons of wood from this festival that went to Habitat for Humanity - a program led by Burners with out Boarders. We held an amazing Gathering Of the Tribes, Culture Lab in our Green resources dome, led by Sobey and Kachina Katrina.

many of the campers at Evolutionary Center are center points of major
networks; people dedicated to developing connections and establishing
communication to aid in Global Transformation. Joining our community will
help you to build your own network, and learn more about how you can help
make a transition to a more harmonic sustainable infrastructure in your
local area. Please explore our Accommodations section for more information if you are thinking about joining the Evolutionary Center theme camp. We are in process of organizing for this next year, after a wonderful first year. The Project Development Wiki is setup and growing, so visit this community board for recent developments, and suggestions for next year. Also, see the Evolutionary Center Map that is a sketch of what we looked like last year, this year is under development, and shows the communities central to development of the camp.
