  • All Are Welcome to Our Home and Hearth

    ELYSIUM was born out of a desire for service. Service to our surroundings. Service to ourselves. Service to everyone who gifts us with their being. Through realms of antiquity and civilizations long forgotten, the lore of our ancestors carried song and story expressing kinship and goodwill between fellow passengers on the rivers of existence. We and all in Elysium become one in spirit and celebration. All are welcome to our home and hearth. In Greek mythology, ELYSIUM, represents the paradise in afterlife and was also known as The Elysian Fields. At Engulf, ELYSIUM will be a service industry oasis and bartender showcase, dedicated to serving up libations and good times for all. In our city of New Orleans, it pays homage in naming a major thoroughfare as it’s namesake, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, in Paris, France representing unison in soul of the cities. At Engulf, ELYSIUM represents a place where all are welcomed in the name of relaxation and expression whether it’s lounging, dancing or enjoying one of our crafted libations. You will feel like the mythological beauty you are when you step through the entrance being greeted with a warm and welcoming environment; carefully curated by some of your greatest friends on Earth.

  • This ain’t yo granny’s Tasty Freeze!

    Welcome to Johnny Cougar’s Melon Camp! An MTV era, retro-stylized, watermelon-themed sound camp with state of the art sound, tasty cocktails and a beautiful space to get down on the dance floor or to lounge with friends, old and new and take in the good vibes and freely flying freak flags of our beautiful community! Long before being out and open and freely being oneself was accepted in mainstream media, 80’s icons were flaunting their open, true-to-self and so-called flamboyant lifestyles through the airwaves of FM radio and on the screens of MTV. Johnny Cougar’s Melon Camp celebrates the bold who were the voice of so many from the GEN-X era, and the icons that adorned their bedroom walls! We plan on serving up lots of tasty melon, and other fruit-themed cocktails throughout the week, including breakfast fruit bowls, smoothies, cocktails and slushies, along with daily themed happy hours for our friends and family throughout the burn. As well, we will build a camp with artwork that reflects the playfulness of our theme and will have campers and participants traveling from New Orleans as well as Atlanta, all folks that are part of the burner community and live their lives with the 11 principles of the burn (including the most recently adopted, consent) close to their hearts. At the heart of our camp will be our, newly constructed, art car, ROCK THE DISCO SOUNDSYSTEM. It is a 20’ airstream built out to be a DJ stage, with a custom PK sound system. Built specifically for burns, this will be the centerpiece for our camp with tented areas on the sides to create shade and soft spaces for our community to gather in and relax, as well as a dance area in the middle for those who want to let their spirits soar! Our planned happy hours (6-8pm, friday and saturday) will feed the theme of 80’s dance music while our late nights will explore the underground dance movement that came out of it, with djs from New Orleans, Atlanta and elsewhere playing music for the soul, including disco, house, techno and more. We also would like to offer up space to play for new friends we make throughout the weekend. We would like to have camping space behind our area for those that are traveling here and camping together. We are also happy to offer up our sound system to be used by the organizers for any needs they may have, should we be placed near the effigy or temple, for those ceremonies as well. Our soundsystem is your soundsystem. We look forward to creating a space for all to enjoy, and an area to make lots of new friends and family, all in a camp that is fun, respectful and decadent! With love and unicorns, Mike, Zach, Desha + Courtney

  • Per Aspera ad Astra

    Is Engulf proving to be a little more than you bargained for? Too late to get your ticket refunded? Maybe the ghost of Larry Harvey came to you in a port-o-let and told you that your life needed more FIRE. Firewater, that is, with no charge for the pickle juice. And if that doesn't do it, try a fire enema. Maybe you want to spend some time on a St. Andrew's cross letting someone else drive the bus (we're bringing it back this year). What's that...you don't like grits? You've been struggling with veganism? We can help. Finally- our camp name- just know that we love, honor, and respect one as much as the other. Stop in, spin the wheel, have a shot and some laughs. Let Love Rule.

  • Your colorful, welcoming home for the best dance music from disco to EDM.

Come grab a tasty drink, lounge on our cuddle platform, chat at our bistro tables, and of course dance until we kick you out. If you'd rather be alone and grumpy, we'll have a nail station where you can sit and paint your nails until you feel better.
