Welcome to I Love Elephants!

“Welcome, traveler…” You’ve wandered into the herd. I Love Elephants isn’t just a name—it’s a way of showing up. This isn’t just a camp—it’s a living, breathing herd.

We’re artists, movers, builders, caregivers, cooks, and cosmic dancers. This space was created so we could come together and share what we love, what we’re learning, and how we want to grow.

You’ll find tents for movement, domes for dreaming, pyramids for presence, and moments of deep connection wrapped in music, mist, and moonlight. Whether you're here to lend your hands to the build, cook a meal for the crew, lead a heart-centered workshop, or bring your quiet presence—you belong.

We are guided by love. By memory. By stillness, and stomping, and sacred silliness. In this space, you’re invited to contribute—not just your talents, but your truth. If you’ve brought gifts, offer them.

If you’ve come to receive, you are welcome. If you want to lead, teach, cook, lift, laugh, or cry—we’ve got room. You’re not just attending camp. You’re becoming the camp.

So let’s get dusty together. Let’s listen. Let’s move. Let’s build. Let’s love like elephants do.Ready to Join the Herd? Use the link below to plug in. This is your invitation to co-create the magic.

The Origin of "I Love Elephants" Camp

I Love Elephants was born from a love for nature, a reverence for the wisdom of the herd, and a desire to create a deeply rooted, heart-centered presence on the playa.

Our story began with a few friends—longtime Burners, artists, and earth lovers—who shared a vision: to build a space that honored the spirit of elephants, not just as majestic beings, but as symbols of collective strength, emotional depth, and gentle power.

Elephants live in tight-knit, matriarchal herds, with deep emotional bonds, memory, and empathy. We saw in them a model for the kind of community we wanted to build—a place where everyone belongs, where love is expressed boldly, and where consciousness is elevated through creativity and care.

What started with a single shaded tent offering quiet conversation and intention-setting has since grown into a full camp experience.

We now host four circus tents for movement, workshops, and interactive art. In recent years, we’ve added a 50-foot geodesic dome and a 24-foot pyramid—spaces that serve as sanctuaries for immersive art, music, and spiritual exploration.

Our camp blends the sacred and the celebratory. Elders and first-time Burners alike gather in our communal shade, cool mist, and open-hearted circles. We dance. We meditate. We build. We serve. And we remember that this is a gift—everything we bring, share, and offer is a celebration of being alive, together, here and now.

I Love Elephants is not just a name—it’s a practice. It’s how we show up. It’s how we hold each other. It’s how we imagine a gentler, wilder, more conscious world—one dusty footprint at a time.
