The Holy Mountain

Participants needed:
Compassionate psychonauts to the front, we’re not just looking for team members, we are looking for family, like-minded Burners who know and are not afraid to get involved, get dirty and get down. We’re a camp that believes in and applies the founding principles of Burn, and we’re open to Virgin and experienced Burners, local and international. What we are: We are a bunch of psychonauts We value kindness even in conflict We are philosophical and get into deep soul chats We value rest, quiet, relaxation and exploration as much if not more than the party We aim for conscious connection with self, others and the planet We celebrate our creativity and bring our artistic gifts to the space A comfortable and restful home in the craziness that can be Burn We are a queer and sex-positive camp We try to live the 11 principles to the best of our ability So if this sounds like your jam and you’re looking for a quiet oasis in the desert then you may have found your new home! What we are not… ⛔️ A loud party camp ⛔️ A plug and play space where you arrive and don’t participate ⛔️ A place to get drunk or just get high on amphetamines all the time

Project Description:

Leave your dust-covered shoes and your greed-weary self at the door and step into the magick of the Alchemist’s Lounge. Surrender into the couches and cushions and the gentle music – we might serve you charmed chai if your timing is right. Become an artist or a muse; consecrated or enchanted…

2026 will be the third instillation of The Holy Mountain at AfrkaBurn, as a theme camp we provide a public space, a public service, a functional part of Tankwa Town. We put our efforts into supporting each other as a group, but also into creating something for the general public of Tankwa Town to experience.

Inspired by the 1973 Alexandro Jodorowsky film, ‘The Holy Mountain’, this theme camp aims to be a sanctuary and a stage, a journey and a destination. If you pass through the gateway, a comfortable chill space with couches, cushions and carpets awaits you, along with some supplies to express your creativity, and world music in the background. Everything that happens next is up to the mystery of time. You might be surprised, perhaps by yourself.

If you’re into the esoteric and occult world, are a little weird or interested in creating a space or offering a gift that will help yourself and others gain insight, expand consciousness, facilitate connections we might be the camp for you.

 

Details of Gift:

A home away from home, a place out of the dust – our space is always open, even when we aren’t running workshops we remain open as a place of sanctuary, rest and retreat.

Besides being a refuge we offer a place to explore art, music, Tarot, story telling and connections.

Our aim is to build a community within the greater Burn community and foster relationships that can be carried into the default world.

Tracings of Impermanence

Tracings of Impermanence is a land-based spatial installation for the Tankwa /Karoo desert ecology. The project is conceived as a cartographic sigil created from the earth it stands upon and is raised as a witness to the entanglement of species and forces across time. We propose this structure as an invitation to sense the desert as a living field of forces and lineages: wind, water, heat, dust; migration routes of birds and animals; indigenous flora; the movements of pastoralist peoples suchas the San and Khoekhoe; the treaded path of the voortrekker, and of course an ancient ocean that once covered this basin, leaving mineral memory in the playa.
