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 guardian of mystery and transformation. In ancient tales, it posed riddles to those who sought passage -—failure meant more than rejection; it meant death.
Today, just like those ancient travelers, we face riddles with high stakes.
Now the challenge is inward: How well do we name the puzzles of our mind?
Where do they hide within us? What lessons might they carry?
This is no ordinary inquiry. It’s a dance of heart and honesty, inviting us to embrace what’s hidden
and discover what’s waiting to be known.
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 carried within?
Will you join us on this quest?

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.
