SoulFire 2010 Burning Man Regional Event - June 11th - 13th
Just 20 minutes from Santa Cruz and San Jose, 1 hour south of San Francisco/Oakland, and 2 hours from Santa Rosa or Sacramento, we're very happy to invite you to the 4th annual precompression in the redwoods, SoulFire! Yes, the Southbay, Santa Cruz, and Eastbay burner communities are uniting again in the Los Gatos hills to bring you three days and two nights of community, dance, art, performances, drummers, musicians, theme camps, random acts of radical self-expression, and more. As a Burning Man Regional event, this gathering is for the entire community, and participants are encouraged to embrace the 10 Principles of Burning Man as they "bring it" to SoulFire!
Gear up for the playa, do some practice CAMPING (shake the dust out of your tent, test your air mattress, see how warm your playa coat really is!), PARTICIPATE in the creation of a playa-rific experience for everyone who attends. Want to DJ? Practice your POI SPINNING performance? Have a new ART project or EL WIRE creation you’d like to show off? Come to give to your community and BE DELIGHTED by your fellow participants! If you're coming to the Bay Area for the 25th anniversary festivities, this is a great way to start the week off right.
We've got quite a roster of theme camps and activities so far, including:
Asian Gong Welcoming Ceremony on Friday night * Den of Iniquity * FrankenAnimal Craft Lab * Welcoming Tea & Cookies in the Goddess Circle * Ongoing film and slide shows, including a fully restored version of Fritz Lang’s “Metropolisâ€
