We have long struggled with the challenge of how to best support the music, the art, the projects, and the people that contribute so much to the enrichment of our lives. Whether that broadening of life experience happens at an event such as Burning Man or in a corner coffee shop, there are artists, entertainers, musicians and others that dedicate themselves fully to their craft and positively affect the human condition. Generally, these souls are humble in their ways and never ask for more than the appreciation and acknowledgement of their efforts. It is in this humility that our Elysium was born.

Elysium has been a varied idea of paradise throughout the ages. The Egyptians saw Elysium as a land of plenty where the dead hoped to spend eternity. To the Greeks, Elysium was reserved exclusively for the heroic and virtuous as the Gods saw fit. And some Neo-Pagans view Elysium as an afterlife spent in a constant state of euphoria.

To us, the idea of Elysium is something that can exist everyday and in this life. Our community is our Elysium and it is comprised of an endlessly diverse group of people. We encourage you to embrace one another, look a passerby in the eyes and smile, blow a kiss to a stranger, and ultimately get to know one another as we play in the fields of Elysium.
