About this Experience
In the heart of the Nevada desert, a fully functioning city appears for one week only—built entirely by its citizens, who come from around the world to create, collaborate, and celebrate. This radical environment is governed not by commerce or conformity, but by a deeply held code: the Ten Principles. These include radical inclusion, gifting, decommodification, self-expression, communal effort, civic responsibility, immediacy, participation, leaving no trace, and self-reliance.
At this gathering, art isn’t something you observe—it’s something you live within. Monumental installations rise from the desert floor, mutant vehicles glide across open playa, and spontaneous performances erupt at every turn. The highlight? A breathtaking ceremonial burn that symbolizes transformation, release, and collective catharsis.
The Sybarite is delighted to offer its members exclusive access to this remarkable experience, complete with guidance, insider tips, and options for elevated comfort while staying true to the values of the city.
