2008 Registered Theme Camps
Wheels of the Soul Project
For centuries, spiritual cultures all over the world have identified
with the geometric beauty of the circle and its center. Mandalas are
beautiful and ornate works of art that have the power to relax, heal,
and focus our energy. Come join us at Wheels of the Soul and learn a bit
of the history and significance behind these powerful symbols. Sit with
us for a while and enjoy some fruit salad and peaceful ambiance. Color
your own mandala to keep, give as a gift, or add it
to our collective art project. We will take donated mandalas and form
them into one giant symbol of our unity, each individual piece's
beauty adding to the splendor of the whole. In the spirit of
participation, we welcome poets, musicians, fire dancers, and ceremonial
facilitators to add to the fun by performing their favorite works or
guiding us in open-minded spiritual ceremonies. When our
collective mandala has been finished, we will offer up our collective
prayers, energies, and our symbol of unity to the flame and allow our
intentions to flow out into the cosmos. If you'd like to help with
materials, coloring supplies, fruit, or even suggestions, drop me a
line:

THE BLAZING COFFEE BEAN
Come relax in our little coffee shop (no, not the Amsterdam version!) by
kicking back on a couch or chair and enjoying a fresh cup of flavored
coffee, hot chocolate or tea, brewed fresh from early in the morning
till well after our beautiful, blazing sun has set! Just think of your
old college “hole in the wall” coffee house where you either met friends
before class for a cup of joe, or relaxed in the evening to wind down
and play a game of backgammon. We will also have a coffee table set up
where you can enjoy a friendly game of checkers, chess, backgammon or
cards while sipping on something yummy and warm! Should you need to
contact me for any reason, please email Jennifer:
lastrada14@aim.com.
Can't wait to see everyone!

THEME CAMP NAME: NAKED CITY II
Naked City I - Afterburn, ’07 was such a success, we’re coming back with
Naked City II – Pre-Heat 08. Had a fabulous time “hanging out” with new
Florida Burners friends and hooking up with old buddies from Burningman.
We’re having a class called “Let’s Git Nekkid!” on Saturday morning at
10:00 AM to share information on clothing-optional beaches and resorts
all over the world. Find out about the closets one near you. If you
can’t make the class, just drop in anytime for some iced coffee and get
to know the naturists in the neighborhood. Get some sun on those buns!
Sunning lawn available so bring your towel or blanket and relax the way
the Seminole Indians used to.
Plans are being made for camp layout for Burningman 2008. If you’re
planning on going and looking for a home base, let’s talk. Naked City
III is sponsoring a Peanut & Butter and Jelly Camp (clothing-optional,
of course) and to celebrate our Americana. Right now there are nine of
us, so there’s room for growth. Also, if you have a small theme camp,
perhaps you’d like to become a camp of Naked City III.
Sponsored by the Florida Naturist Association. For more information,
please e-mail

East of Scrap Eden
Harken! You poets and singers,
Artists and dream-bringers...
Come into the Garden...
The Garden of Scrap Eden
Where old is made new
Rusted, now divine
Where lyrics lilt on air
Whilst we sip our wine.
Re-create, re-envision,
re-vamp and revise
what's trash becomes artistic treasure
before your own eyes!
(ok ... enough of that)
you know how TTITD has Scrap Eden?
and remember the movie "East of Eden"?
well, welcome to:
East of Scrap Eden
('cuz that is where we are...
is that the other side of Orange?)
a place for people to showcase their scrap/recycled/junk-funked and
reworked art
a place for people to do their poetry slam
a place for singers and songwriters to gather in the twilight and sing
to people relaxed on pillows and carpet as they gaze at the unique art
around them...
and why does this possibly concern you?
(well, besides the obvious that you are artists and i think you may have
some "junk" that can definitely be funked! not saying you have junk...
but maybe rusty hedge clippers that were left outside accidentally get
an interesting paint job...or maybe they are clipping something and are
a political artistic statement... or maybe they become the eyes and
mustache of a very eclectic looking gentleman... who knows? you're the
artist!)
This Garden of unusual reworked delights will also serve to host poetry
slams, improptu whatevers and your small little gathering with friends
... it's your space! Do what thou wilst!
And around dusk on Saturday there shall be (fer those interested) a
Partly Pretentious Poetry Party... (y'know...where you come half-dressed
in a creatively altered gown with no make-up and bare feet, or wear a
tie, no shirt, boxers and bitch boots with a top hat... and read some of
your favorite poems or monologues -- with sincerity or with full-on
pompous actor vigor!)... and drink wine (or whatever your passionate
poison may be) and enjoy the art, the people and all that makes our
Phlorida our own little Eden. (yeah.. that would be all of you!)
(I will have some "re-worked"/recycled display "columns" --although
please feel free to bring your own method of displaying your creation--,
but if you have paintings and such, you may wish to bring your own easel
or other such method to share your art. Also if you are planning on
bringing any considerably large or fire containing art for the Garden...
please check with Storm first regarding proper placement)
Bubble Camp
Bubbles, bubbles everywhere, and not a drop to drink (HA!). Welcome to Bubble Camp, a celebration of all things bubble. Come stop by and blow some bubbles with our bubble toys, chew some bubble gum, drink some fizzy lifting drink and bask in the glory of the giant sound emitting bubble booth. Run run run all you can, there is no escaping the bubble!
Purple Passion Palace
The other side of orange? That’s a horse of another color, as in the color purple.
Speaking of purple, that reminds me: Don’t forget to stop by the Purple
Passion Palace!
Lounge in our comfy Psychedelic Disco Chill Space, maybe watch some
movies, pop some popcorn or listen to music.
The other side of orange? As in Apples? Stop by the Purple Passion
Palace Saturday Night, we’ll have the caramel fountain going with apples
and other goodies to dip and eat!
Like partying late and sleeping late? Wake up hungry but don’t feel like
cooking? Us too. So, we’ve decided to host Brunch because Breakfast
comes too early! Join us for Pancakes at the Purple Passion Palace at
high noon on Sunday, a perfect way to wind down from a great week end
and you have none of the muss or fuss. We cook it, serve it and clear
away the moop….and we promise, no burnt Oranges!
