AMO Annex @ Black Rock City 
WHO ARE THE AMO?
AMO is the root of love and the AMO Annex of Black Rock City is space for that love to grow. We are enigmatic inventors & community oriented designers creating peaceful and juicy connections. Here's our description on the BM theme camp list:
AMO Annex is claiming space for the study, science and praxis of love. Our space is an intentional incubator for ideas, drawing the brilliant genii of AMO to experiment with focus, resonance, frequency and quality of connection. Visit our living learning lab and explore our OYA installation in the pavilion under the man.
A mythic group of leaders from around the world, the AMO are vigilant caregivers, dreambenders, priestesses and creative wizards.
Community
Our Address: 2:30 and Arctic, Black Rock City
We claim this space together as we carve out a vision for
resonant energy, rhythm and amplified brilliance.
The primary art will be out on the playa and the camp will be a peaceful space for collaboration and rejuvenation; camp spaces will be set aside as a quiet space to explore the deeper mysteries. The AMO Annex has cultivated a community of innovators who understand how to have fun and collaborate together.
Art
PLEASE BRING YOUR ALTAR ITEMS. We have a handful of amazing altar builders in this camp and your additions are welcome.
There will be display boards in our camp for you to hang your information and help install your art.
So far our camp-based installations include greater detail on OYA, PeaceTiles, Tesla and energy systems and Sex in Space, a new look at love in Zero Gravity.
Vibrant creativity powers the heart of AMO. Bring your art pieces, workshop materials, random bits of fun and shareables and let us know if you want us to reserve space for your activity. We will have a wild wizards workshop happening during the week along with display boards for the OYA installation on the playa. A chalkboard will be set up where you can announce your own workshops or events if you choose to gather others within the AMO space. Invite your friends to join us for this chill zone near the major dance camps.
Grey Water and Shower Systems
We are setting up a common shower and greywater system organized by Spaceman Sam, Christian and E Marley. Please bring your own water for the shower and you are welcome to bring your own sunshower bag or use one of ours.
Kitchen and Meals
We will have a common camp cooking area and we ask that you bring your own pots, pans, eating utensils and food and please clean up after use. We know how hard it gets to clean up after a long night on the playa and ask that you plan to bring cleaning wipes or anything easy to keep from leaving crusty bits out overnight.
Cook ahead to reduce packaging! We will be bringing meals in deep freeze (dry ice is available in Reno) and we recommend that you plan ahead and cook a few meals or bring easy to heat up options....soups, TastyBites and boil-in-bag rice, vegetables are always a good idea out there too. We have a handful of vegetarians in our camp and will ask that the meateaters please use their own pots/pans for cooking so that others are not getting too much carnivore action.
PLEASE BRING EXTRA FRUIT WITH YOU!
Those of us out there for two weeks cannot keep enough fresh fruit on hand without spoilage and we will love you if you bring us bananas, berry and/or chocolate.
We do not seem to have many liquor-happy campers this year and we will not have a public bar, however items may be available in the kitchen for you to mix and match.
Please bring what you love most and a little extra to share with your friends.
Water is your responsibility...please plan to bring at least 6 liters of water for your use each day, more if you plan to shower daily. Your average camping shower may use 2 gallons of water, dishes and other cleanup will often use a half gallon or more, and you will want to drink a gallon of water (some with electrolytes/EmergenC) every day while out there.
Theme Camp Activities
We have a 30' dome for our camp. Please plan to bring extra seating, pillows, comfort-creating space needs.
We will be hosting ritual in this space on Sunday evening before the burning of OYA.
No other events are yet scheduled and you are welcome to schedule your own on the chalkboard.

| Shapeshifting | 128 | "How do you follow your heart? Raul asked. How can you be sure what it says? |
~"I Listen." He lifted a cupped hand to his ear. "Your heart is part of the universe. If you listen to your heart, you hear the voice of the Universe. We call it the voice of the Universe or the Voice of the Soul. It speaks to us all the time. We only have to listen." He turned to me. "What do you hear?"~
