🌲✨ THIS ISN’T JUST A FESTIVAL… IT’S AN ENTIRE DIFFERENT WORLD. 🍄🧚‍♀️

Some places you visit. Others you feel. 💚

Electric Forest is where art comes alive, strangers become family, and every corner holds a little bit of magic. 🌈🔮

From the breathtaking installations and hidden treasures to the beautiful souls who make this place unforgettable — there’s truly nothing like getting lost in the Forest. 📸✨

Huge love to @electric_forest and @pasqualerotella for helping create spaces where music, art, creativity, and human connection collide. 🙌💜

Being able to capture these moments through my lens is exactly why I fell in love with photography. 📷

Meet Coo Coo Kachoo, the Walrus on wheels! 🦭✨ Come experience it tonight, Friday, Oct 9, outside @audiobarlv from 9pm–2am.

Built right here in Vegas this year by @madeonmars.art, this incredible art car made its maiden voyage at Burning Man. Tonight, we’re also celebrating the birthday of @kevinbracken, one of its creators! 🎂

If you’ve never seen an art car up close, come see how a vehicle can become a rolling work of art. Burning Man calls them “mutant vehicles”—there’s even a DMV: the Department of Mutant Vehicles!

We’ll have DJs from different camps and a post-Pride parade celebration bringing everyone together. Expect music, familiar faces, new friends, and plenty of oohs and ahhhs.

Free admission. Come play with the Walrus! 💛

📍Audio Bar: 1020 S 1st St, Suite 100, Las Vegas, NV 89101 (Vegas Arts District)

WEAR BLACK + WHITE to represent light and dark, day and night - opposites in harmony. A little visual reminder that we need both.

I think it’s pretty ironic that a guy whose entire year feels like a celebration hates his birthday.

It’s not an age thing—I couldn’t be more proud to be 43. It’s a timing thing.

Burning Man completely crushes any hope of having a real birthday party every year. So this year, like every year, I sent out a few texts the day before hoping a couple of friends would grab dinner with me so I could call it a celebration.

Man, was I wrong.

After spending the whole day on phone calls and replying to voice messages, my Vegas family showed up for me and it really meant so much to me.

I feel like I have a lot to be proud of. I’ve sacrificed a lot, followed my dreams, and brought ideas to life that I’m legitimately proud of. But none of that comes close to how proud I am of the people I get to call my friends.

You are all my pride and joy.

Thank you to everyone in this picture—and everyone else who has been part of my life—for everything. I would not be where I am, or who I am, without you.

What happens when 300 people create something together? 🌹

For our last floral themed Solara event, we wanted to create something that everyone in the room could actually be a part of.

Each guest received a rose petal and was invited to breathe an intention into it. Something they’re dreaming about, working toward, or hoping to see bloom in the season ahead.

Then we gathered every petal, crushed them into a paste, mixed them directly into the paint, and watched as our beautiful artist @mariedacat brought to life a one-of-one piece created live throughout the night.

By the end of the evening, hundreds of individual intentions had become one collective work of art.

The finished painting was auctioned to one of our amazing community members @wolfofitness

This is one of our favorite things about creating Ritual experiences. We don’t just want you to come to an event and watch something happen.

We want you to be part of making it happen.

Thank you to every person who added a petal, an intention, and a little piece of themselves to this one. May everything we planted together continue to bloom. 🌹
