The Mystical Lounge of Body as Art at Afrikaburn

The Mystical Lounge of Body as Art at Afrikaburn The Mystical Lounge of Body as Art is a theme camp that will be reappearing for the fifth time at Afrikaburn in 2016.

The Mystical Lounge of Body as Art is a theme camp that is to be found at Afrikaburn - usually on the Binnekring. Our theme: To mould and forge one's identity, to let the outer self reflect the inner image, to express oneself as one truly is or would like to be and to use the body as an Art form

Visitors can have their face painted in ethnic designs, adorn their choice of body part with the San C

lan image, get a unique stylish henna design, or get body-painted and maybe have a cocktail everyday at sunset. We welcome all burners who wish to adorn themselves or to relax in our chill areas. We are excited to see old faces from last year as well as a few new ones to join our burn family. We are looking for crew members to join our creative team- anyone who is able to join us in painting and decorating the people of Tankwa Town. All you need is a ticket to Afrikaburn 2015 and a creative streak. Contact our lead camp organiser Sam through this page if you are interested in being part of our burn family. Tent is staffed for a few hours of the day and the rest it serves as simple chill area. Other people are invited to contribute in acordance with the theme and extend the hours. Past years have seen several artists who co-habited with us, with extra activities including yoga, tarot reading, nail designs, hair braiding and temporary tattoos on offer. Daily programme usually has hourly activities associated with one or more body (and mind) adornment: ranging from face painting (dots themes), body painting (for the brave!) and henna tattoos. Mornings and/or Evenings see cocktails being served, the favourites from last year being sangria and rum&coke. Bloody Maries are a good wake up cocktail we find! all activities and times will be published on daily programme board. Our Theme camp is pretty popular and our tent is always full-during the activities as well as after, as sleepy burners chose comfortable spots to catch some sleep.

Dear Burners..sadly due to work constraint the leadership of The Mystical Lounge have decided that 2019 will be a sabbatical year for us and there will not be a Lounge this year. We hope to be back bigger and better in 2020 so please keep in touch and if you are going please have a fantastic 2019 Burn.

Ok, it’s on. Mystical Lounge will be back in 2019 fulfilling our mission to enhance the beauty of body, mind and soul in the desert. Once again we hope to offer body painting, face painting, tattoos, massage, drumming, chill lounge, cocktails, impromptu mellow jam sessions and what have you. Counting the days....

Hello fellow burners!

We are counting down the days until we can all reunite in the dust, and our crew is heading up early on Friday to ensure that The Mystical lounge is in fact magical and mystical.

We hope that everybody has their outfits sorted for their magical week in the desert, but if you don't, don't worry! Just pop into our tent at 4:20 on the binnekring for some face paint and henna!

Stay safe on the journey to Tankwa Town!!

Got an idea for AB2017 and looking for a Theme Camp to join? Come join us!

It's official. We will be submitting a theme camp proposal for AB 2017 for the Mystical Lounge. Planning to do the same general theme but we may just call it the Mystical Lounge next year to open the concept to a wider range of activities. Hopefully we will be on the Binnekring Sure - we will still do the Body Painting and Face Painting, and hopefully Ricky will be back with his tattoos and Kelsey will be back with her yoga, but we are reaching out to anyone who would like to take a slot on the daily programme and would like a place to do it.

Massage? Yoga? Poetry reading? Music? Pancakes for breakfast? Artwork? Mutant vehicle needing a place to park?

We provide the theme camp - you do your thing. Any age from 18 to 80 - newbies who have no idea what they are doing or old hands who don't want the hassle of a theme camp this year but still want to participate.

Leave a post or message us. Or just share this message and spread the word far and wide.
Onwards to 2017!

So the dust is slowly settling after an amazing Burn, and our thoughts turn to "What shall we do for next year". We are looking to expand our camp and its offerings, rethink what we do, and spread our wings into an artwork and a mutant vehicle, which means inviting collaboration with more people, more early.

So if you have ideas, or suggestions for what you would like to offer as part of our growing team (anything from Aardvark cocktails to Zen coffee), or you know of a bunch of people (especially AB newbies) with an idea for an artwork or a mutant vehicle and you are looking for a home on the Binnekring (we hope) get in touch. We will provide the camp - you provide the activities!
