Euphoria 2019 Pocket Guide Important Notice The river is out of bounds at the event. This is at the request of the county fire department as they do not possess rescue services in the event of an accident. There is a zero-tolerance policy for crossing the event boundary and doing so will result in immediate ejection from the event. 2 Pocket Guide Are you bored? Read this. If you’re still bored, it’s your own fault. Immediacy. Participation. Go try them! Check out this guide for all the places you can go, all the things you can see, and all the things you can do while you enjoy the magic of Euphoria. Except the river. You can’t go there or do that. You can look at it, from the bridge, on the main road, after you leave. Stay out of it. Seriously. This Guide, like so many other parts of our event, would not be possible without the communal effort of many participants, both past and present, and it is from their collective wisdom that this Guide was created and offered to you. 3 Probable Opportunities.

Go Each of these camps have graciously opened their tent flaps, both literal and metaphorical, to you, Radical Participant. Seek them out, experience what they are offering, and appreciate the gift that they are offering to you. Sometimes, camps choose their words with such care that they fail to fully express the greatness of what they are. Don’t let that discourage you from finding out what makes the camp so ineffable. The best adventures are often the ones you didn’t see coming. 3 Old Men Wellness/Spiritual High Street The focus is a 4-path labyrinth of fabric and tent stakes, an octagon 40 feet in diameter with a 10 foot ritual space around it. Based on a 15th-century design, it 9 has four outer entrances and four entrances to the center. Therefore participants are able to choose their exit as well as their entrance. The labyrinth is open for exploration/meditation 24/7, but several times a day the 3 Old Men perform their ritual: they strip, apply white kaolin to their bodies, and walk the labyrinth themselves to their appointed space. There they don their ritual skirts and take up their staves. The 3 Old Men—the officiants—then stand at three of the four entrances of the labyrinth. Each officiant offers a different gesture/agon to an exiting Burner (who need not accept it): • bless the participant • ask to be blessed by the participant • offer to struggle with the participant At the fourth entrance there is no agon, i.e., no blessing and no struggle. In the center is a temple bell and an altar, upon which Burners may leave or take items that are meaningful to them. We leave the meaning of this experience open for each participant. We welcome the participation
