KNOW THYSELF
Inspired by the Neverending Story, two towering 34' Sphinxes with laser eyes invite you
on an immersive quest to uncover hidden wisdom and unlock your potential.
Upon entering the Gate, you will explore the depths of your being through the lenses of
Breath, Body, Mind, Heart, Destiny, and Community.
The Sphinxes will challenge you to be the hero
on a lifetime's journey through your inner landscape,
to become your truest self.
Our world needs us to be whole, creative, and connected.
Within this quest lies revelation-—one that holds transformation not just for you,
but for the future we are shaping together.
Will you answer the call?
The Story
The Sphinx has long stood as a symbol of mystery and transformation. In ancient myths, it posed riddles to those seeking passage, and failure did not simply result in rejection -—it often meant death.
Today, we face a similar challenge. The riddles of our time are not just important, but carry great consequence:
Do you know yourself, beneath the layers of conditioning and expectation?
Can you remember the inherent worth you have always carried?
The Sphinx returns now to ask us these riddles, inviting us on a journey of self-discovery. For when we remember our inherent worth, we step into a sovereignty that allows us to face the unknown with grace and confidence.
The Sphinx Gate opens, calling you to uncover your own truth. The question is not What wisdom do you seek?
but What wisdom have you always held within?
Will you join us on this quest?

The Experience
The Destination
Burning Man is an experiment in community and art that has grown to over 80,000 attendees and inspired many other gatherings worldwide. It is known globally for its large-scale art and radical culture. Held annually, this event is a temporary city, erected in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, USA, that defies what many imagine to be possible. The epically beautiful ancient lake bed known as 'the playa' offers the ideal setting and community for the return of the Sphinxes on their mission to empower humanity.
