Mahala AfrikaBurn Camp and community of temple builders creating sacred spaces for connection, transformation, and creativity https://goo.gl/forms/RVDadqc9BPmfav8S2

A committed group of Burn fanatics, on a mission to co-create joyful human experiences for friends old and new. We’ve been putting together camps for Afrikaburn for the past four years, investing in infrastructure, learning skills, and developing ever more radical ways to achieve our mission. People from all around the world come to join in what we do; some make a point of returning every year. We

gift a huge amount of our time and energy, pulling resources together to create a space that not only sees to our needs as camp members, but also offers as a gift to the entire community of Tankwa Town a space to experience joyful, transformational, and sometimes silly, always meaningful activities and interactions. We wish to attract like mind, participation-oriented people from around the world to join in this act of co-creation and expression. We are particularly seeking other groups who wish to get involved and use the space as a base for offering their gifts. We want individuals who are not afraid to get their hands dirty, because creating the level of comfort we aspire to comes with a lot of hard, dust coated work. We have further ideals of offsetting our camp’s carbon footprint, and of brining joy to communities in need outside of the Burn. We will be arranging for a “Play” centered activity in one such community in Cape Town South Africa, for all camp members to join in prior to leaving for the Playa. If you would like to join in our co-creation, follow the link to complete an online form, one of us will then be in touch to arrange a Skype chat to see if you’re the right fit for us, and if we’re the right fit for you.

Thank you to for giving a proper farewell to the sun as they kicked the night off at our recent event Embers & Archetypes.

A great way to reflect on the day and get ready for a night full of play 💜

Let us know in the comments....Which One Are You?

Are you the one who performs for the crowd,
Or the one who tells jokes, bold and loud?
The master of masks, with a clever disguise,
The spinner of tales, both wondrous and wise.

The one who protects, creating a space,
Or the one who vanishes without a trace.
The one who delights with laughter and cheer,
Who see the unseen, what others won't hear.

The one who inspires, with beauty and flair,
Who loves from the heart, with deep, tender care.
Who transmutes wounds into a soulful vision
The one who weaves dreams with divine precision


The wild energy that sets the world aglow,
Teaching us all to let our truth show.
So tell me—who's waiting inside of you,
Ready to rise, to break on through?

An archetype lives in each of our hearts,
A role to embody, a place to start.
So pull a card—let your soul be expressed,
In this sacred deck, your magic is blessed.

Sand, stars, and serendipity

At the edge of nowhere, where the moons forget time,
Two wanderers stroll whispering in rhythm and rhyme.
One cloaked in leopard, the other in pink,
Neither quite knew exactly what to think.

The sky stretched wide with a lavender hue,
The mountains waved softly from a far away view
And in front of them, a ship made of wood and lore
Promises of silly tales… and perhaps even more.

The fire danced like riddles in twilight’s soft breeze,
And the air smelled of secrets and cinnamon trees.
They spoke without speaking, just leaning in close,
As the desert revealed what it rarely shows most—

Not gold, nor a map, nor a long-lost lamp—
But connection that sparks when gathered souls set up camp.
When costumes get dusty and your bones feel rusty
The real magic begins when we connect from within.

So here in the nowhere, with laughter and grace,
They found not a place—but a feeling, a space.
Where time bends like spoons and the heart gets reset,
And strangers become best friends you’ve only just met.

Getting lost at sea, and venturing beyond,
Accepting a fate they cannot see
Looking outward, expanding their view
Ready for adventure, something new
Taking a trip to Nowhere's End
And finding their way back again.
Following a map they drafted together
Through sand and wind and rainy weather
Nothing will stop them, they are on a mission
To bring their vision into fruition
Setting sail into the great unknown,
Fiercely going where no Blissmaker has gone,
No matter how deep into darkness they roam,
They know their compass will bring them home
To anywhere's beginning, where they were all along
Anchored in a place where they belong.
