Pods | Camp Contact at Burning Man

Pods are "sub-camps" of a main camp, typically based around a practice, area of interest, geographical area. Or, pods could be a squad, or a group of campers who are typically in another camp,but their camp isn't big enough to have a full presence or bring their gear to a burn. Don't over-think pods -- they are permeable and not meant to be particularly exclusive, they're more a cognitive tool to help understand the organization of camp as a whole. Sometimes pods choose to offer a particular piece of interactivity / special event or meal for camp. If you would like to create a new pod for this event, please contact the camp organizer, listed on the staff page.

AuthentiCamp at Camp Contact at Burning Man 2026	AuthentiCamp	We seek the deeper, more profound ways of relating, of fostering community where everyone is unapologetically themselves and everyone is seen and loved exactly as they are. AuthentiCamp is a safe space for everyone to vulnerably share their experience, their feelings, their shame, their hidden aspirations, their fears; a space of appreciation instead of judgment. Many of us are also experienced in the practice of circling, where a group of us give a single person our attention in service of feeling closer to them, through which amazing growth, healing, and insights often unfold. AuthentiCamp has no official affiliation and is inspired by the work of Authentic World, Relational Alchemy, and TCLT.	2BAnnounced TBD TBA 0
