Event Planning

Throughout our lives and careers, we have had numerous opportunities to plan events from client trade show presentations to business development workshops to company parties. Creating experiences to satisfy and delight is one of our greatest joys.

The most abmitious, and satisfying, event we've planned was not a professional endeavor, but instead it has been our Burning Man theme camps. Since 2005, with a dedicated group of family and friends, we have presented AquaZone, and in 2006 and 2007 we expanded the camp to include the Aqua Love Water Bar, serving water in the desert with gratitude and love.

Essential to the Burning Man experience, along with Radical Self Expression and Radical Self Reliance, is the concept of a Gift "Economy." The event is a sort of artistic "pot luck." The event is not served up by a promoter, but rather home-grown by it's 50,000 participants.

In this spirit of giving, our group creates an experience for all comers from our own hearts and hands.

AquaZone’s AquaLove Water Bar

Love your water, love your body! Did you know that words like LOVE and GRATITUDE and HOPE can actually realign the molecules of water to their original and pure crystalline state? And words like FEAR and HATE and FOOL can destroy any alignment. So be careful what you say to your water! (and to yourself, and to the Earth, since you and the Earth are mostly water too!).

At the AquaLove Bar, we’re serving up all kinds of re-aligned water – each vessel has been labeled and spoken to with words of hope to provide you with water at its best. Come sample the delicate flavors of all different kinds of waters, from all over the globe.

Try side-by-side comparisons and blind taste tests. Bring a sample of your own hometown water and see if you can discern the subtle shades of what you’re familiar with from those of waters from elsewhere. See Masaru Emoto’s electron microscope photographs of water crystals before and after the water was exposed to words of hope, or fear.

The AquaDome is a place where any can come to jsut chill, connect, find out more about how Hope and Fear affect water, and to re-align!

Physical Description:

The public portion of AquaZone includes a 23 ft geodesic dome and a 20 x 20ft canopy housing the bar. The dome is built out of metal plumbing pipe and is both extremely sturdy and stable even in the highest winds. Covered with water-colored "camoflage" fabrics, the Dome is carpeted and furnished with couches, pillows and lounge chairs.The bar itself is a wood construction decorated in watery blues. Behind the bar is a display of all different kinds of water in various kinds of bottles – some commercial, some home-bottled with labels in recycled bottles. Ambient water sounds are played on a battery powered stereo system, and battery powered LED blue lights give the bar an underwater feel. Out front is a solar pumped fountain, and a hand-pumped mister system is be installed over the bar to mist people sitting at it. A few bar stools and café tables and chairs accommodate bar patrons. Large glass jars and coolers hold water for anyone to come self-serve at any time.

The private portion of AquaZone includes a 60ft x 20ft tarped shade structure, 3 Motoshades, and several vehicles under tarps attached to the main structures. Most of these spaces are covered with carpet. Dinning accommodates up to 30 camp mates for communal dinners. Tents, kitchen and cooler storage are under the large tarp shade structure. Gray water goes into a sink with a strainer basket and through a pipe to the gray water evaporation pond, and water from the shower is also collected in an evaporation pond.

Interactivity Description:

The bar is open to the public all the time for self-serve water, and special waters are served several times throughout the day as camp mates "man" the bar. We serve water from all over – both commercially bottled waters and home-bottled water from our home towns and sent to us from all over the country and the world. Water is served in small glasses as a precious drink to be savored and enjoyed, much like a wine tasting. We conduct side-by-side comparisons and blind taste tests, and encourage participants to share a sample of their own water from home and to explore the differences in taste.

The bar also displays posters with information about Masaru Emoto’s work with water showing how words, music, images, prayer and intention can align water into a more perfect molecular form, transmuting Fear into Hope. We give participants stickers that say “Thank You Water • I Love You!” for putting on water bottles, containers, and faucets at home.
