Friday Events

Pittsburgh Trash Mermaid presents coffee and tea services with dark and chill soundtrack. Start your day the most pleasant way.

Cups, thirst

Lounge as our baristas serve up cold brew, pour overs, tea and more to start your day off right.

Drink vessel

Its 4:20 somewhere? !!!Je suis LePrix, et j’aime mon 420 comme mon 69, souvent et n’importe où!!!. Let’s do that but add bacon. When? FK if I know, sometime before noon I’d wager?

Pancakes and mimosas, made just for you by our array of Flakey chefs. Ask for a heaping serving of flakes with your pancakes! Vegan options for pancakes will be available. ID required for mimosas.

Plates, cups, and an appetite

Just because you’re an introvert, awkward, or shy, it doesn’t mean you don’t want to be social. Maybe you just need a different environment than your typical cocktail party, and perhaps a little assistance. Following from a post-Constellation Facebook thread, we’re offering an (admittedly counterintuitive) meetup for introverts and the socially awkward. Participate as much or as little as you like – no icebreaker games or putting anyone on the spot. We’ve got some tools to make some of the implicit social “rules” explicit to help you out if you have trouble with that sort of thing.

Are you less-than sure about what poison-ivy looks like? Are you totally sure, but want to geek-out about random plants? Are you anywhere in between, but would enjoy an exploratory stroll around this new-to-some location? We will be meeting at Pyramid People, hanging for about 10 minutes while people arrive, and then heading out in a random direction. Alison will probably not be able to restrain herself from IDing whatever she sees, either from vague memory, or utilizing iNaturalist to “cheat” aka learn a new plant.

Closed-toed shoes are probably a good idea but that doesn’t mean I’ll be wearing them.

Stop by and put together your own custom trail mix blend. Do you like to lick sweet or salty from your fingertips? Either way, we’ve got you! Like nuts in your mouth? We’ve got you! Don’t like nuts? There’s no snack shaming here! Feeling fruity, spicy…or BOTH? We’ve got you! We will provide an assortment of items to choose from and we want you to eat our fucking snacks. *available as a self-serve station daily, while supplies last* (inspo credit: Rev. JackAssHolio, LoveBurn 2022)

The usual place, the usual time is listed. See you there.

A primer on regional burning practices and culture meant to be helpful to new and seasoned burners .

Preparation and community building are vital parts of what make burning possible. We will discuss the 11 principles of burning and why all burners are part of creating the culture and community of regional burns.

Attendees can expect first a discussion followed by a tour of several theme camps as well as gain a general understanding of where the different neighborhoods are and what they have to offer.

We should expect this event to last for about an hour.

What better way to wake up your energy for the day than dancing to a fun groove? Come dance with us over at Camp Lazer! Carla will be teaching some classic hip hop moves and choreography in the end for you to express your vibe through.

Water for hydration and maybe a towel, it’ll be a workout

Come on over to Ponder’s Den Friday and Sunday and join our poker game! Each new player receives 20 stickers to bet in our games, with special prizes for winning a hand against Ponder himself!

Friday: NOON til dark o clock
Sunday: NOON til dark o clock.
Come on over!

You may bring extra stickers to gamble with.
Smoking and drinking is permitted in camp.

Curious about kink? Or an experienced kinkster who wants to share tales? Join like minded folks for conversation and kinky coloring pages!

Like that friend who quit their job to “find themself”, Radish karaoke isn’t homeless – we’re just couch surfing! This time around our gracious host camp is Cenosilicaphobia, where your fear of an empty glass and your fear of singing in front of your friends might have the same solution. Whether you’re a professional-amateur opera singer, or you’re nervous to even hum in the shower, you’re welcome to step up to the mic. You’re also welcome NOT to – at karaoke, cheering everyone else counts as Participation. Either way, our rotating lineup of KJs want to see and hear you at Radish Karaoke.

Come celebrate what makes YOU unique through self-portraits. Whether it’s a word, a symbol, or your name, let your creativity shine! There will be markers, colored pencils, paint, paper, and reflective paper.

Me, Myself, and I

Come to a hour of singing circle songs—short repeating songs that can be more easily picked up on than traditional verse refrain verse songs. Friday at 1pm we will practice LoveLab love songs for the wedding, Saturday at 1pm will be fiery chants for Effigy. Sunday at 3pm will be shadow songs, songs that allow us to collectively grieve in sustainable ways for Temple, to be sung after the silence is broken. We will practice at the Matriarchs, and 30 min. before each ritual at the wedding venue/burn field. If you weren’t able to make choir and want to sing, come early to rituals and listen in.

notebook to write down lyrics, vocal recorder or app to record melody, water

Learn some handy, basic bondage to spice up your burn and your life! We have some rope to share for the sake of learning, but supplies are limited. Bring a partner to tie if you can, or just tie yourself!

Stingray and Good Boy collab to bring you a moment of peace during your burn. Join them for an all levels vinyasa flow followed by a sound bath. We’ll breathe, stretch, and integrate our bodies into the immediacy of the mountain. We’ll experience mindful movement, then lay down and introduce soothing sounds with the healing vibrations of crystal singing bowls. You’ll feel yourself melt into the Earth as each vibration touches every cell in your body, relaxing your nervous system and brain waves into a deep, meditative state. Properly cleanse yourself in preparation for the party ahead!

Yoga Mat, blanket/towel

Slurp Coven-brewed kombucha and explore the 7 steps of intimacy through inspired bonding games. Come with a partner, new friend, or solo. PG-13. INTO ME SEE.

Have a problem? Issue? Complication? Dilemma? Dispute? Issue? Well then head to Upper Dutch Blumpkin and we will give you the “best” advice we can come up with without actually listening. We have over 20 years of experience with all sort of problem “solving”. We are always HELPING.

Join us for a 700-card Magic the Gathering Cube. Draft, Deckbuild and Face off against each other. We have enough space and cards for 8 people. First come, first seated.

Postural Alignment, Iyengar Yoga, and Myofascial Unwinding. Learn Iyengar alignment cues as we plug in for a short practice to find the center of our bodies and ground down into the earth, moving through our fascia, unwinding it, spiraling up through any pain patterns and into ease of movement. Interplay between every day movements using the alignment cues. Build those skills for life—finding aligned rest postures to come home to, no matter how out of wack our bodies may get. Bodily self awareness, with Genevieve from Aware Self Care Therapeutics. Directly after Constellation Choir each day.

Hi! Come learn about what Sanctuary is, the fascinating volunteering details, and how we can all help support each other in our Home Universe of Constellation this year! As always, we could use and would LOVE extra volunteers, especially Shift Leads! Please reach out to Erin Furlong, your FlyingButterfly, or Salem, AKA Teddy, if you are interested in signing up as a Shift Lead, or just have questions! Welcome Home.*~

Intrigue, curiosity, compassion, a mind craving knowledge, and a cup for a beverage

Love craft beers, but can never quite find the perfect opportunity to open those cellar gems? Bring them to the snob share! Add your beers to the group share on the bar, and be sure to show up with a cup to try tastings of whatever else we’ve popped open or had gifted. Only rules are 1) to take sample pours, not full cans/bottles 2) to please not bring any “big chain” beers (if you’ve seen it at beer pong, it shouldn’t bless our sacred share :D). You don’t need to bring a beer to participate – all snobs are equally welcome (and it wouldn’t be gifting if we had to get something in return.

A cup

*no snakes were actually invited to this event

Your Cup

Time flies when you’re having fun, right? Though it seems to be stuck at 6 o’clock when you hang with the Mad Hatter and friends. Whatever the case, we’ll be enjoying cool, ice-filled cups of punch, sun tea and maybe a cookie or two. Do join us. Bring your best impromptu Alice-in-Wonderland character if the mood so strikes you. Our Tea Master is always whipping up new and interesting recipes.

Cookies, if they want

Signed up to be a Ranger? Please come by one of the orientation and training sessions.

Delicious, tasty grilled cheeses, made just for you! Alcoholic drinks will also be available, with a tasty serving of flakes in each glass (bring your heckin’ ID). It’s kind of like breakfast cereal, except more fun. There will be a limited amount of vegan cheese and gluten-free bread as well.

Plates, cups, and an appetite

Come learn how to play ukulele! Go from never-touched-one to 4 chord songs in one session, then stay for a follow-up jam starting at 5:45! Private tutelage available throughout the burn as well.

Ukulele if you have your own, or borrow one of ours!

Do you grow weary of the oontz oontz? Are you longing for something a little more…aggressive? Come chase those breakdowns with some bourbon at Spoopyisle! We’ll be serving drinks and sick riffs for this themed happy hour down at Spoopyisle.

A cup and your devil horns

Meet the artists who brought all the fantastic art to Constellation this year!

A drinking vessel and the wide-eyed wonder of a child

Are you a fan of the hit YouTube sensation Hot Ones? Do you are someone you love crave the taste of fire in your mouth?

Well come on down to the basement and witness Dr. Gorgeous putting our special guests through a serious of intense questions with even more intense hot sauces to really spice up the event!

If you would like to be one of our celebrity burners pleasers see Dr. Gorgeous or Danny Baltimore and let us know. This one is going to be a scorcher.

There is nothing required to be brought for this event.

Avoid the evening ice-age and join Jurassic Tarp around the fire for some hot non-alcoholic cider (or with alcohol for those 21+). Served until it’s gone.

Drink vessel

Come grab a cold one and let’s make the dance floor hot! Learn the fluid and serpentine art of partner dancing to blues music. After we’ve learned the basics, we will kick it up a notch by demonstrating how blues dance can be done to all sorts of EDM, trap, D&B, trance, and other forms of music you’re likely to encounter at burns and festivals. Dancing with a partner opens up a whole world of silent communication (as well as very *verbal* discussions of consent), while throwing wide the doors of self expression.

No prior exp or partner required, but feel free to bring someone you are comfy dancing with if you’d prefer!

Impact play is using hands or toys to give pain and pleasure to a consenting bottom. Join us for a class that includes consent and negotiation, a show and tell of toys, and a sexy demo! Stay for open Dungeon time afterwards;)

It’s time for us non-alcohol consuming folk to come together with our empty cups and parade around Fort Royale to receive delicious offerings that do not make us tipsy. Our first stop will be at Spoopyisle, where we will receive the first beverage of our crawl, then journey to other camps and bars that are offering beverages for us to guzzle down, including teas, hot coco, mocktails, and more!
