“I Love Elephants” Theme Camp at Burning Man is Founded by renown elephant conservationist Philip Price
“I Love Elephants” Theme Camp at Burning Man was founded by Philip Price, who loves elephants.
Philip Price: A geologist by training, a conservationist by passion, and a Burning Man organizer by spirit, Philip defies easy categorization. He's a builder of bridges – between science and art, nature and humanity, and even between continents. His recent move to Ubud, Bali, serves as a strategic hub for his pan-Asian conservation work, allowing him to leverage proximity to the elephants with his knowledge and resources to protect precious ecosystems across the region.
Beyond his scientific expertise, Philip is a mastermind of experiential events, producing yoga festivals and other gatherings that pulse with creativity and community spirit. These events aren't just entertainment; they're platforms for connection, conscious living, and environmental awareness.
Philip’s life is a tapestry woven from diverse threads, each strengthening the overall picture. He's a scientist who embraces the magic of Burning Man, a conservationist who inspires others through adventure, and an event producer who weaves together wellness and environmentalism. He's a true testament to the boundless potential of the human spirit and a beacon of hope for a more sustainable and connected future

Mosaic by Stephen Bennett, portrait artist & 120 children of Bali
In the heart of Bali, where art beats like a drum, we joined forces with the talented Stephen Bennett and 120 vibrant children to paint a mosaic masterpiece – an elephant, no less! Imagine a canvas as vast as their collective spirit, where each brushstroke whispers tales of nature, climate, and the mighty beasts that roam it.
This isn't just art; it is a community tapestry woven with laughter and learning. On the grounds of ARMA, Ubud's artistic haven (a place where even Barack Obama once lingered), these young artists dipped their brushes in vibrant hues, creating a magnificent mosaic.
Their masterpiece didn’t just grace the Balinese sun, it embarked on a grand adventure, crossing oceans to land at events like Burning Man, igniting a spark of awareness and wonder across the globe.
Community art, like this elephant mosaic, is a shared language, a whisper against the wind, a reminder that together, even the smallest hands can paint a brighter tomorrow. Let the art remind you: in Bali, life is a canvas, and every child holds a brush.
