SHROOMS CAFE

The Social Sanctuary
for Sips, Snacks, and Stories

This is a unique space designed as both a launchpad for inner exploration and a landing pad for joyful, social connection. Here, we embrace the principle of Immediacy by offering a powerful tool to connect with yourself and the present moment, all within a safe, supportive, and truly magical environment.

 

Think of it as the event’s living room and watering hole, all rolled into one. It’s the perfect place to land after a day of play, grab a nourishing sip, share stories with fellow burners, and recharge your spirit before the night’s adventures truly begin. Pull up a chair, stay a while.

Live Painters At Shrooms Cafe

Art isn't just a final product; it's a process, a performance, a living thing. Throughout our gathering, talented local artists will be setting up their easels and transforming blank canvases into vibrant masterpieces, right before your eyes. Fueled by the DJs' beats and the community's collective energy, they'll translate the moments of our celebration into strokes of color and imagination. This is more than just watching someone paint—it's witnessing Radical Self-Expression unfold and unfold. Pull up a spot, get inspired, and see what magic emerges.

Clothing Exchange at Shrooms Cafe

Got some cool threads you're ready to part with? Bring 'em! Our clothing exchange is a great way to refresh your wardrobe, find some unique treasures, and practice the principle of gifting. One person's "I never wear this" is another person's "OMG, I LOVE IT!"
THEMED ROOMS
The main dance floor is the heart of the party, but the soul is hidden in its many corners. This isn't just one big room; it's a collection of unique worlds, each decorated with love and a wild imagination. Created as acts of Communal Effort and Radical Self-Expression, these spaces are designed for you to explore, connect, and find the perfect vibe for your moment.
ALTAR SPACE
In the midst of the bustling energy, we offer a dedicated space for quiet contemplation. Our community altars are a place to honor the present moment and your own inner landscape. You are welcome to leave a small, meaningful object, write a note of intention or gratitude, or simply take a breath and recenter yourself. It is a space for grounding before, during, and after your experience.
THEME CAMPS
The true soul of Burning Man is found in the creative, interactive, and often wonderfully absurd gifts brought by its Theme Camps. They are the community-builders and the magic-makers. We are incredibly honored to host some amazing camps who are bringing their unique offerings from the playa right here to Ashland for the night! This is Gifting and Communal Effort in its purest form.

Mystral

"Emerging from a new generation of bass rich music, Mystral offers a collection of rich multidimensional soundscapes through smooth melody and slick grooves. From dubstep flow to the bouncy realms of glitch hop, Mystral engages the journeyer with a collage of precisely arranged sounds mixed with finesse to create a full yet spacious audio collage. The melodies dancing through this musical journey call forth a sense of mysticism and upliftment; adding a beautiful balance to the glitch and bass wobbles resulting in a full flavored soundgasm!'' -Merkaba Music. Coming from a background of both underground hip hop and electronic music scenes, Mystral's performance incorporates both aspects, and crosses the bridge between psychedelic, bass, and B-boy flavors. Freestyle flows bounce off beats and crowd energy is alway high as conscious intention is brought through by words and uplifting vibrations. Since 2006 Mystral has been rocking stages around the west coast and beyond, and has played main stages at festivals like, Enchanted Forest, Lucidity, Human Nature, Serenity, Burning Man and many more!
