As we have every year since our inception in 2003 in Black Rock City, we gather with the intention to create a space for Sacred Dance to World Class Music together. We hope you touch the part of you that inspires action and evolution in your life and spheres of influence. We also hope you have ridiculous amounts of fun and do some intense dancing. To give ourselves a different experience this year, we don’t have our normal sound camp to come find us at the same spot every night, so please see below on our mobile adventures for 2015.
Thank you all for your on going support of us and our events so that we can be here to do what we do. As we know you know, it’s a community effort, solely supported by you and us. See you on the dance floor!

Opulent Temple is pleased to come back after a well deserved break last year for our 11th offering of sacred dance to world class music. We worked really hard all year long to re-vamp our look with a new DJ booth, 3D visual screens and more touches we know you’ll enjoy. It’s large scale joy creation, though not just for joy’s sake, but also to connect and awaken, and to bring those lessons and moments back to the world to be a force for good. The world needs our engagement amidst it’s chaos and turbulence.
Thank you all for your ongoing support of us and our events so that we can be here to do what we do. As we know you know, it’s a community effort, solely supported by you and us. See you under the stars and the fire!
This coming burn is our 10th annual camp at Burning Man, marking a decade of efforts to create a space for sacred dance to world class music. What a ride! We give the gift to our community and to ourselves, and we work hard to bring forth a play space to touch the heart and see things clearly. The goal is not to party, though we all do it well. The goal is to connect and awaken, and to bring the fruits of that to our relationships to each other and the world all year round. It’s easy to be giddy and open hearted under the stars and the fire in the desert, surrounded by friends, freaks and some of the greatest dance music in the world. Less easy back in our daily lives, toiling in an unconscious world. And we know, especially given the luxuries, means and privilege we have, that we have a responsibility and a duty to bring the light. We like ours with a dash of bass, fire and groove.
Thank you all for your on going support of us and our events so that we can be here to do what we do. As we know you know, it’s a community effort, solely supported by you and us. Opulent Temple is stronger than ever and looking forward to new directions in the future. See you on the dance floor!
Unfiltered joy should certainly be a Rite of Passage. For the 9th time at Burning Man, we’ll be setting the stage for you to take that ride. Experience immersion, sound communion, sensory delight, and shared large scale happiness under the stars and the fire.
Opulent Temple 2011 seeks to do what we always do : provide a space for Sacred Dance to world class dance music. Our hope is that you might have an experience with yourself and those around you that opens your heart and clears your mind to the spirit that is. Having touched that place, we hope it can help make you fearless to face injustice, prejudice and ignorance in the default world; to feel a little more emboldened to shed light and humor and funk in the many corners of darkness.
We hope you know camps like ours are entirely supported by the community and the camp members. We could use your help if you want to pitch in by donating.
Every dollar counts (and we’ll send you live recordings from past years as a thank you.) See you on the dance floor!
Welcome to the 8th incarnation of Opulent Temple. We have a new address this year at 2:00 & Baghdad. We create the space for sacred dance to world class music. We continue to output the intense effort it takes to do OT because we believe in the beauty and power of shared community in music and dance. Dance is the expression of the soul through movement. We invite you to express your soul amongst others bathed in big beats and fire light. We’re not all about the party. We hope you touch the part of you that inspires action and evolution in your life and sphere of influence. We aspire to open hearts and clear minds supported and surrounded by friendly freaks.

See you on the dancefloor !
This year we wanted to give more info and background on our nights and what we are trying to say, the dj’s that play, who they are and why they get to play the treasured spots at Opulent Temple, and some back stories that illuminate how this comes together. It’s a frequent question we get about how to get a slot, if you read this it will become clear, that by and large, you get it the old fashioned way, you earn it.

Opulent Temple 2008 – The Final Cut ?
Get ready for another year of epic nights and celestial sunrises. We raised the bar once again on the range and caliber of talent to take you there. As always, none of these featured artists and guest talent get paid, and all pay their own way to Burning Man, just like the rest of us. We went over the top this year on our production (as you’ll see soon enough) and would deeply appreciate your support to help us get out of the red so we can continue to bring it in our own Opulent Fashion. Please use the Donation widget in the sidebar to show your support. See you in the desert!
Welcome back to the Opulent Temple 2006: A Sanctuary for Sacred Dance to World Class Music. Please use the Donation widget in the sidebar to show your support. See you in the desert! Once again we come together as a community in dance, music, and
celebration to conquer fear, and turn hope into action. We believe a
revolution without dance, is a revolution not worth having…. Once again
we’ve put together an epic soundscape of talent.
In troubled times we come together as a community in dance, music, and celebration to stir the soul, move the feet, clear the mind and open the heart. Dance can key into the pulse of the Divine, and hanging out in that pulse is the essence of fully living. Touching the face we had before we were born, so that consciousness infused with Spirit inspires action in the world. …And to turn the tide, we must act….
A Burning Man camp is an honor to provide to the Black Rock Community. To get here, we have been blessed with the support of many of you. Thank you. For those going out to Burning Man, we think you’ll see it was an investment worth putting forward. For us, this is not about partying, this is not about big name DJ’s, it is not about being the best or the brightest… It’s about reaching people, and reaching into people, for love, for community, for Spirit.
What else is there?
If you like what you see, please consider making a donation to the Opulent Temple. Despite our best efforts we have ended the year in the red to provide everyone the most amazing experience possible. We could still use your generous support!
