in the begining....

this begins the chronicles of the oasis....

it began in the summer of 2007 when sterling and ryan decided to collaborate to help provide a showering system for entheon village at burning man. our original inspiration was to create a luxurious endless hot shower experience using a recycling system. it became apparent that with the small timeframe and no budget, our vision would have to slowly evolve. with the aid of many other villagers, we created a cold water showering structure from pallets and reclaimed bamboo poles from the previous year's starry bamboo installation. we captured the water and filtered it through zeolite and sprayed it across the playa to evaporate as the event was dismantling.

the entheon village experience was very humbling. we had grand visions that we barely scratched the surface of. what we did create was an energetic field. we were very passionate about connecting people with each other and the water that sustains us. and even though we were far from our original vision, the passion and intention was felt. we received an abundance of gratitude and love. we made amazing connections and the villagers were thrilled to have the ability to take a shower in the middle of the desert. our efforts at burning man resulted in an invitation to create a shower system at symbiosis in northern california 2 weeks later....
