Recent Events:

We continue to have Poi workshops in Las Cruces and are hoping to find new locations in El Paso to host workshops for under privileged children.

In February, 2012 we hosted Doug Jacobson as he screened his documentary "JOURNEY TO THE FLAMES” and introduced a lot of new El Paso and Las Cruces residents to the Burning Man culture, most for the first time.

We’re hoping to have an entry in a popular West El Paso July 4th parade with fire spinners, bongo players and lots of people in “playa costumes” this coming July, 2013.

We’re working with the organizers and making plans to have a Burning man short film be a part of the worlds largest classic film festival in August of 2013 at the Plaza Classic Film Festival in Downtown El Paso.

Please check back for even more information about the Burning Man community in your area. We're gathering more details — coming soon!
