SEEKER. SEEKER.
The Sphinxes pose an eternal riddle, speaking truths long forgotten.
For, as humanity chases what lies beyond, we remain blind to the treasure we already hold within.
In this forgetting lies the very peril of our world.
But the time has come.
The Sphinxes call to the citizens of Black Rock City, inviting us to better Know Thyself.
Ancient guardians of wisdom, they arrive not with answers, but with a mirror.
The path unfolds through six sacred keys, each unlocking a lost piece of the self.
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?
These are questions that, when left unanswered, leave us adrift in a world that is changing rapidly.
The ability to navigate what’s ahead depends on the strength, clarity, and agency we find within ourselves.
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
Take a little tour with this walk though...
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.
