Welcome Back in 2012!

PALENQUE NORTE

Camp Above The Limit is a creative, ever-evolving camp that lives by the Ten Principles of Burning Man. We believe that our members should all participate and work together for the enjoyment and success of participants, camp, and the event itself.

2011 was our seventh year on on the playa. We once again welcomed participants around the clock with refreshments, empathy, comfort, art, education, and music at our location at 9:15 and Anniversary.

Our 2012 Return to the Playa

After some very difficult times with the ticket lottery, there was a serious question of whether we'd be back at all. Without the support of the Burning Man directed ticketing program--and by this we mean our Placement friends AnswerGirl, Big Cheese, and Scar--we wouldn't have been able to make it.

We plan on returning with our Saraswati Tea House, The Crystal Cavern as a chill space, and Cafe Kona. We welcome Palenque Norte back to the playa for the first time since 2007. They'll host our speaker series this year. Check back as we post more of what we're doing for 2012!

Memories of 2011

Burning Man is a journey, and Above The Limit's and its colorful tea wallahs welcomed almost a thousand travelers around the clock throughout the event with chai and refreshments for those needing respite and a kind word during their passage towards wisdom and evolved consciousness. Our oasis offered soothing live and recorded music to rest, rehydrate, reflect. Participants could chat with the wallahs, enjoy a tea ceremony, sit outdoors and watch the world go by, relax indoors amidst silks and cushions, or take a restorative nap.

In the morning, community yoga was offered. By day, our Saraswati Speaker Series offered presenters discussing visionary transformation and the evolution of personal consciousness. Speakers include researchers, healers, activists and artists talking about the passage to higher states of knowledge - and how this process can benefit and expand our lives in the default world.
