Poly High Tea

1:00p-3:00p - Monday thru Saturday

Just what is Poly High Tea? - First, it's a Tea Party. We will be serving Tea and Cookies...

All you Polyamorous, poly-curious, and poly-friendly folks out there on the playa are invited to join us for a discussion about the practical issues of loving more than one in an open, responsible multi-person relationship. There are many workable forms of Polyamorous relationship - polyamory is polymorphic! There is much wisdom in the poly community which can be helpful to people trying to make *any* relationship work, monogamous or Polyamorous. There will be a facilitated discussion in which you can get your questions addressed and some of the knowledge in our community can be shared.

If you'd like to cool off and de-dust yourself after our tea party, bring a water donation to enjoy PolyParadise's famous Human Carcass Wash.

Human Carcass Wash

3:00p-4:30p - Monday thru Sunday - Wash and be Washed...

Be part of an interactive washing experience.  

The highly regarded and much anticipated... Human Carcass Wash!!! 

Get involved with some of your closest Playa friends and some new friends in trading your old Playa Dust in for a clean body ready to be dusted once again. This event honors your stated boundaries of where you do want to be touched or washed. 

You will first participate in helping other Burning Man friends get washed by spraying them with Water, Dr. Bonners Peppermint Soap, washed with plenty of hands by your Playa neighbors, then spayed again with water and squeeged off before you depart for more Playa fun. Bring a water donation to help the process along. 

Hair washing may be available, depending on donated water resources and available PolyParadise members or other Playa friends willing to provide Hair Washing.

Mind Melt

8:00p - 9:00p - Monday thru Friday

Mind Melt lets your mind be changed from Fear of the unknown, to finding Hope in the Future, by experiencing 3-D Images of lights and sounds and the peace only found within the receptive mind and experience of every thought, feelings, sensations, and level of awareness through corresponding brain wave patterns.

Mind machines change your perception by stimulating balanced, abundant neurotransmitter production, expanding neural pathways, and programming desirable, ecologically sound behaviors. The use of mind melting can enhance physical healing and homeostasis, intellectual performance, and greatly improved a sense of well-being, which allows one to See beauty where others do not, and a new perception of life that is the Future for all Mankind.

Remember; nothing really exists, it’s all in the electrons of your mind.

The Heart of Now

11:30a - 1:00p - Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday

The essence of the Heart of Now is the practice of being present with your whole self. In The Heart of Now workshop, you’ll come to know yourself more deeply. You’ll discover the possibility of reconnection with your innate beauty, wholeness and be honest with yourself and and with others in a safe circle of love. You can discover those places you’ve felt stuck, while you are supported in letting go. You learn to become aware of those times when you get in your own way, and come to see the choices open to you. You embrace what you desire the most, and deeply commit to letting your dreams and your visions be more important than you past wounds. You will find yourself reconnecting with your innate beauty, wholeness and power in each moment.

Heart of Now workshops include numerous assistants to support you and to create a sacred space for transformation. A deeply nurturing environment is created. This teamwork approach deepens the experience of service and camaraderie, where all are able to experience their vulnerabilities, allowing trust and growth.

Thoughts on Healing

3:30p - 5:00p - Tuesday & Thursday
Almost all of us have something in our lives that we would like to heal. For some it is the challenges of a disease or a physical or mental health condition. For others it is a memory or imprint from our past, a relationship or trauma in our present, or the projection about an anxiety or dread of a future event or situation. This workshop will look at how we can and do use our thinking and subconscious imprints to cause unwanted challenges or create unimaginable healing. A limited number of individual session will be available throughout the week by appointment.

Past Life Regression

3:30p - 5:00p - Saturday
Everyone has a karmic cycle and the better we understand it the easier it is to understand ourselves and why/how we react/respond to the world the way we do. This session will contain a general understanding of the karmic cycle, how hypnosis can help us better understand this cycle and will end with a general Past Life Regression group session.

AZBurner Pot Luck
6:00p - 9:00p - Wednesday
This will be the 9th year that PolyParadise will host the AZBurners Pot Luck Gathering on the Playa. I am unsure as to the number of persons who will attend this event. In '09 we had over 150 people in attendance.

This event is being billed as a Pot Luck to all AZBurners, so I expect quite a few people coming over during the day to bring stuff over or to cook at our place or get things ready at our place. If you would like to contribute to this Pot Luck dinner that would be great, though it is NOT a requirement.
