CYPHER Program – Burning Man 2018

CYPHER produces immersive audio visual meditations which interface performance, art, technology and music.

• techno-soaked healing environments + lush sensoriums •

CYPHER A/V RITUALS

A seam is forged in the architectural and sonic center of the space. Participants interface with elements of performance and technology. The focal center encompasses a live multidisciplinary audio/visual experience inside our activated installation. A techno-soaked decompression chamber of utmost comfort and care.

These rituals shape participants perception through intimate guided A/V mediations surrounding an LED sphere. “Cheryl” the techno-ball, captures biofeedback which informs the trajectory of each composed experience. A gift of communal inclusion through sculpted sound, light, and performance yields the veil between human and machine more pliable, porous, and wandered.

INNER OASIS

Join us for a sweet pause in this mini restoration and inspiration session for the body, mind and soul. An offering of light movement and explorations to connect to a nourishing heart-centered state. We’ll play with our light sculpture and learn how to ignite your light within! We’ll explore nourishing ways to restore energy and access your heart’s intelligence.

YOGA : F A D E D / K I R T A N

An accessible movement practice that operates through the lens of chaos magic. It feeds off many methods of body based practices that invigorate the energetic system, where a heightened perception of self and community is activated. The environment is cuddled by soundscapes from Succubass + lush movement guided by Matt Drews.

Eject from the norm, through a guided improvisation fueled by sensation and poetic imagery; focus on ritualistic movement and the cultivation of trance states through dance, yoga, and somatic techniques. Fade into wholeness.

BREATHWORK

A tantric breath work ceremony facilitated by Joshua Farahnik. Heart opening, laughter inducing, mojo flowing goodness. No meditation experience is necessary.
