Mystic Metropolis @ Sacred Spaces Village


Serenity isn't freedom from the storm, but PEACE within the storm


THE VILLAGE: Sacred Spaces Village is a diverse international inter-faith spiritual community of artists, activists, and mystics seeking to improve the collective intelligence of humanity. We provide grounded, heart-centered sacred spaces for individuals to heal, learn/teach, create art, and transform themselves and the world. Sacred Spaces Village was born from collaborations amongst several Burning Man camps on the Pantheogenesis Project in 2008 building a 12,000 square feet Temple Complex on the Esplanade based off the Qabbalistic tree of life. Last year, we produced the Evolutionary Temple Complex & provided a home for the largest visionary art gallery on the playa.


CAMPING WITH SACRED SPACES: Our Motto is “Water the Roots”! We believe in creating a strong container whereby each individual’s body, heart, mind, and spirit are nurtured.

* Body: We offer an incredible vegan meal plan (with Carnivore Options) through one of our camps – Krishna Camp who specializes in creating sacred food on the playa. We also offer showers & changing rooms, a healing center, yoga, and a shaded camp chill space.
* Heart-Mind: Workshops, Visionary Art, Music, and Prayerformance.
* Spirit: From the creation of the Mystic Metropolis to the nurturing of our spirits through dinner meditations and sacred society ceremonies and outings centered around the chakras.

Shared Village Costs are $306, which includes a yummy vegan meal plan (with raw options) with Krishna Kitchen. Work-trade options available on an as-needed basis for those taking leadership positions in the Village. Half price for build crew (arrive by Wed before the burn) or strike crew (stay till Wed after the burn). Refund will be given after the burn. As part of our playa offering: We are co-sponsoring Feed the Artists this year with our Sister Village – Red Lightning. Our kitchen will be providing yummy meals for funded artists the week prior to Burning Man!


2010 MANIFESTATION – MYSTIC METROPOLIS: The Mystic Metropolis is a collaborative inter-faith temple complex. At the core of the temple complex are 7 temples dedicated to each of the chakras. Connecting to the core are a variety of independent art installations and temples, provided by individual contributors and groups, both within our village and across the playa. This city within the city, the Mystic Metropolis will be a playa destination point for individuals seeking to connect with source. In addition to the Temples, we also have a STAGE for kirtan, sacred music, and prayerformence.

The Mystic Metropolis Temple Core Altars – Interactive Art – Meditation - Activation


Though we have given examples of what these spaces might look like – we welcome new and differing interpretations along the theme of the chakras and expect these temples to evolve.


The Red Root Chakra Temple - ("The Sacred Feminine") a temple embodying the primal power of the earth, our ancestors, and the mysteries of creation. It is a space for all genders to honor the divine feminine, womyn of all creations, the maiden, mother, priestess, sister, daughter, grandmother, etc. The decoration theme can be lots of Goddess deities and female leaders from around the world, plus moon cycle objects, birthing info, bones, red and black decor.


The Orange Sacral Chakra Temple - ("Divine Polarity") a temple dedicated to exploring polarity mysticism in many forms such as yin-yang and the dance of the masculine and the feminine. It is a space for expressing desire and intimacy, sensual connections, tantric union, and lovers' expression. Workshops involving sacred sexuality can be offered. The decoration theme would be something sensual artifacts, images of duality, desire, tantric imagery, and lots of orange and peach colors.


The Yellow Solar Chakra temple - (The Empowered Masculine) a temple embodying balanced power, and illumination. It is a space for all genders to honor the male archetypes in the world, the sun god, priest, shaman, king, warrior, hunter, father, brother, son, grandfather. Men's circles and workshops embodying brotherhood and more can be offered. The theme can be solar and include male deities, phallic-shaped objects, pipes, staffs, drums, shields, and the colors yellow & gold.


The Green Heart Chakra temple - (The Healing Sanctuary) a temple where bodywork and hands on healing will be offered throughout the week. This is an opportunity for those who wish to feel their emotions through with touch and healing magic. The space is rich, vibrant, and connecting. Envision lots of green, fountains, artificial greenery, and massage tables.


The Blue Throat Chakra Temple - (Communication Center) a temple exploring communication, language, and the healing properties of sound. Sound workshops, singing, chanting, and verbal self expression can be offered in this space. The decor explores music and sound, winged creatures (birds, butterflies, fairies), clouds, the sky, and various shades of turquoise and light blue. (Leads for this temple will be Veleda and Saki - looking to round out our team with a sound healer or someone with skills in musical/vibrational communication.)


The Indigo Third Eye Chakra Temple - (The Mind-Expansion Lair) This is the temple for any form of arts and crafts, live art creation, of lectures involving our future and sustainability, creativity, new paradigms of living, and more. We imagine dark blue decor, images of modern sustainability, and futuristic visionary art of all kinds being the theme of this space.


The Violet Crown Chakra Temple - (The Spiritual Oasis) This will be the one non-verbal temple where silent meditation and vipasana are welcome. Crystal bowls, gongs, and similar sound vibrations are here, and diving deep into the spiritual realm celebrates this seventh chakra temple. For decor, we imagine lots of purple and white colors, crystals, pyramids, Buddha statues, and the like.


The White Universal Chakra Temple - ("Unity") the biggest temple of them all, for very large workshops, downtempo music, yoga classes, ecstatic dance and movement, and deep chill. All decor colors are white, with billowy fabric, carpets, artwork, and lots of room to move around.
