“Don’t dismiss the elements. Water soothes and heals. Air refreshes and revives. Earth grounds and holds. Fire is a burning reminder of our own will and creative power. Swallow their spells. There’s a certain sweet comfort in knowing that you belong to them all.”

― Victoria Erickson


Earth, fire, water, air and ether are the essential elements of all creation. Moving with their energies we remind ourselves that we too are part of the natural order and intimately interwoven with nature.

Dancing within the elemental map of the 5Rhythms® we will cultivate an embodied knowing and relationship with each element. We will dance with the earth, with the winds and waters, with the ember and flame of fire and the etheric parts of ourselves that shine from our deepest Self.

Burning Man 2025 didn’t start the way we hoped… fierce sandstorms tore through the playa, destroying camps multiple times, and the Orgy Dome—the heart of so many magical nights—couldn’t open. The night we imagined, with multiple sets and a very special vibe, had to wait.

But desire cannot be tamed. Here’s the set I prepared for that night, the one that would have pulsed through the Dome, carrying every heartbeat, every whispered fantasy. Even though the Dome remained closed, we can still feel its magic together—in our thoughts, in our fantasies, in every melody and every drop.

Close your eyes, let go, and let the music guide you through a journey of sound, a dance of energy, and a playground of imagination. Let it carry you, let it seduce you, and let the Orgy Dome come alive in your mind, alive and electric. 🔥💫

Kia Ora Beautiful dancing Souls!

I have had the absolute privilege over this last couple of weeks to offer scared dance to the Burning Man Playa this year. This set was curated in collaboration with my dear friend Robbie Fear for the magical beings of Burning Man on the Friday afternoon. 

This set has a slow burn with opportunities for deep contemplation and moving what is no longer serving through the body. The set is a little more low key than usual as it was a BIG time on Playa with dust storms destroying the camps several times, so we felt a full send high energy set would not serve the collective. Instead I played a phat didgeridoo track to create a beacon of awareness and depth to call in the humans for a chance to dive deep into the body and set them up for the final push in the days to come. 

This set was such a honour to co create. The viscosity of the Portal that was co created by the souls that were there was some of the deepest I have ever felt. 

Grateful for this journey! and grateful for you for being here 

Shout of to Rhythm Wave camp (the biggest dance floor on the playa) for having us and the opportunity to show the Playa how we do it in NZ 

Love, 
B

Sunrise is a time of new beginnings as the dawn approaches. This year at Burning Man I tried to imbrace that with this to remember my late brother Nathan who passed away a month earlier. Much of this set was influenced by him as well as music he had shared with me over the years. I was shaky and nervous to play this in his memory as told by some of my transitions. I know that he was right next to me in spirit and encouraging me on throughout it. Please enjoy and share!

The windows of the heavens were opened, and rain fell upon the dome, and, behold, it was good...

This set starts out a little tongue in cheek as we reroute the speakers on the blown circuit to the remaining working one. At that point we were mostly expecting that one to trip as well, but it held and the tunes continued as muddy travelers sought some refuge. The Bizarre & Tainted 80s set I originally intended starts around 1:17:13. Enjoy!
