Entheon, meaning “a place to discover the spirit within,” is an effort to promote sustainable cultural re-evolution that heals relationships between the people of the earth and our planet. The mission of Entheon is to demonstrate a future in which sustainability, ecological responsibility, environmental stewardship, and meditative and mystical consciousness are a welcomed and integrated part of society, and where art, spirituality and creativity is central to that vision. Entheon will be a grounded gathering place offering an intellectual, therapeutic, artistic and creative cornucopia of interactive opportunities. Lectures, workshops, renewable energy demonstrations, visionary art, zen meditation in a zendo, holotropic breathwork sessions, and performance come together in the spirit of celebration to co-create our shared vision of global healing and a broader awareness of ecological responsibility and the utopian spirit. 
Entheon will be a showcase for ecological best methods and renewable power. Our kitchen will serve locally farmed organic produce, all water will be procured locally, we will have solar thermal showers, a very large photovoltaic power installation with an artistic UFO solar saucer, and much more.
Behind the public interactive spaces, a community of about 350 campers will live and eat together. Provided with sites for rest and reflection, members of Entheon will experience nourishing, private moments to rejuvenate and enable them to offer a constant flow of interactive experiences to the Burning Man community.
As Albert Einstein remarked, "The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe. What shall be required, if mankind is to survive, is a whole new mode of thinking." Entheon seeks to demonstrate a path to that new mode of thinking.
