Temple of All Gods at Burning Man '08

topic posted Wed, March 5, 2008 - 2:03 PM by  offlineVeleda
Hey everyone;

TAG (at least some of us that are into burning man..) is going to be joining forces with a bunch of other mystically groups on the playa and working in partnership with Entheon Village to make a beautiful temple for all the gods (including you!) on the playa this year.. It would be great to make a physical Temple of All Gods..where all the gods..including you are invited to the biggest party in the world!

We would like to invite you to participate with us in the creation and manifestation of a new and ambitious Temple for the 2008 Burning Man festival

VISION AND COLLABORATION

Drawing on the art, ritual and sacred magic of all traditions, while transcending all tradition, this Temple will invite participants on a sacred journey of transformation, healing and return to the Sacred, as well as providing a beautiful home for workshops and events. The Temple will in truth be a complete Temple Complex, with individual domes sanctified to the Divine Masculine, the Divine Feminine, the confluence of these two currents, and the Union-Beyond-All-Duality. These Sacred spaces will be woven together in architecture of relationship built on the alchemical knowledge of many traditions, made manifest in labyrinths and portals of transformation.

We have brought together for the first time the creators of three major sacred spaces from recent Burns: the Axial Temple in 2006, the Gaia MAitreya Temple in 2007, and the Temple of All Gods in 2006 and 2007. This year's project will build on the spirit and ideal of those temples, but on a much larger and more ambitious scale. Our team spans the Bay Area, Chicago, New York, Reno and Hawai’i, and includes visionaries, fundraisers, architects, designers and builders. We would love you to contribute in any of these areas so that together we can create something truly extraordinary.



WAYS TO PARTICIPATE

We are looking for friends and co-creators who would like to participate in creating the Temple this year in any of the following ways:

* The Physical Arts: Temple Construction and Design, Visual Artistry, & Ambient Space Weaving
* The Soft Arts: Ritual, Performance, Workshops, Music
* The Healing Arts: Divination, Temple Guardians, Energy Healing
* The Community Arts: Sacred Food, Community Coordination, Fundraising, Transportation, Registration, MOOP Guardians, etc.
* The Temple Arts: Set up and Take Down Crew, Temple Guardians, Purification, Sanctification, and Sacred Space Keepers



CAMPING WITH THE TEMPLE

We recognize that we all have different needs and desires when it comes to community collaboration and camping on the playa. In order to foster diverse partnerships, we have three pathways of participation in the Temple project.

* Entheon Village: If you’re one of the people that doesn’t want to worry about things like food and showers on the playa, you can camp in Entheon Village, our partners in the project and hosts of the physical site for the Temple. Entheon will provide gourmet food, showers, logistical support, and other amenities in exchange for a $333 fee, a kitchen shift, and Temple service.
* Independent Pods: If you come as part of a pod (i.e. a self-organizing group of, say, 10-25 people) we will provide you with power, camping space and some communal space, for a fee likely to be less than $100. The fee will go directly towards supporting the infrastructure, art, and transportation of the Temple. Your pod will be responsible for all your other amenities.
* Affiliate: If you still want to participate in the Temple project this year, but already have camping plans elsewhere, we will happily accept donations of time, love and service.

Hope to work with some of you..or perhaps meet at the burn.
