YPO Retreat

Event Brief

YPO’s very own ‘Burning Man’ festival, inspired by the Black Rock original and hosted in a scenic enclave outside Moab, Utah, our impermanent glamping tent city had all of the community, art and radical self-expression of the famed original. Guests unleashed the artists within by painting alongside internationally renowned live event painter- John Bukaty, or by writing songs with Dave Matthews discovered and Colorado’s own singer-songwriter, Zach Heckendorf. For the even more adventurous there was exploring, biking and climbing under the blue skies and starlit nights of the red-rock desert. Guests were able to refuel body and mind with mouth watering dining prepared by some of Colorado’s top chefs. In essence, guests lost themselves and then found themselves again over three mind-blowing days. Oh yeah…they got to burn stuff, too.
