Jungle Reunion: A Retreat for Queer Burners

High-Level Program Overview

Jungle Reunion is a 5-day tropical homecoming for queer burners who want to swap the desert’s grit for Costa Rica’s lush embrace. Infused with the playful, radically expressive spirit of the playa, this is where ecstatic dance meets six waterfalls, clothing-optional decadence, and a community that celebrates every facet of you. Together, we’ll weave sacred ceremony, wild play, and deep connection into a week you’ll wish never had to end.

Who It’s For & Why People Come

Perfect for queer burners ready to…

• Live your burner ethos in a lush, tropical setting.
• Explore ecstatic dance and embodiment practices in a vibrant space.
• Connect with fellow burners in a sex-positive, shame-free environment.
• Trade winter blues for tropical healing and cosmic mischief.
• Deepen your radical self-expression and strengthen your authentic community bonds.
• Bring playa magic into your everyday life.
• Balance the party energy with grounding practices that leave you glowing inside and out.

What to Expect

The Experience: The bass is already in my bones before I hit the dance floor—a bamboo temple deep in the jungle, crowned with an oversized disco ball. The warm air is thick with ylang ylang and something sweet I can’t quite place. Every step shakes loose another layer of inhibition until I’m nothing but movement and glitter. My skin hums where the breeze brushes past, where hands find mine, where bodies sway close with no rush to be anywhere else. I’m laughing with a campmate I’ve known for nearly a decade—we haven’t shared a night like this since the Playa.

Just after sunrise, a new friend tugs at my sarong and nods toward the pool. We strip down and splash in, the dawn turning the spray into a constellation of tiny stars. Someone spins through the water, naked and unapologetic, while others float nearby, faces lit with that first-light magic. It’s impossible to tell if we’re dancing, drifting, or dreaming. The jungle leans in, our joy bouncing back in the chorus of frogs and birds. It’s a world away from the Black Rock Desert, yet the feeling is the same—warm connection, radical authenticity, and the kind of freedom that stays in your bones.
