Opel specializes in conscious parties with kick ass line ups. Our intention is to use the dance community as a positive vehicle of change in the community and the world.

We believe the Bay Area dance community is in a unique position to be a catalyst for moving the greater society in a more conscious direction, in fact we feel that if we don't do this, the future looks very bleak for all of us.

We're dance enthusiasts tired of a world without substance, we're funky freaks trying to encourage some change, one party at a time.

The Opulent Temple :: the desert version of the Opel project.

The mission of the Opulent Temple is to provide a space for sacred dance to world class music at Burning Man. It is not 'Opel's Burning Man camp', as they are separate entities with similar missions, both organized by Opel founder Syd Gris, and both created with an intention to have the gathering be more than just a party.
