Need a break from all that meaningful, life-changing tantra and competitive meditation at Nowhere? Check out our little camp of shenanigans and imperfection!

about us

We're into Helium karaoke and banana crafting workshops, and our idea of sex-positivity is: sexy teeth brushing competitions!

Despite our name we're no astrology camp: "Mercurial Retrogrades" refers to the optical illusion of the planet Mercury, when viewed from Earth, seemingly reverting its path of movement backwards. Which to us means: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."

More specifically, we aim for:

  • a camp size of about 25 people
  • contributing to Nowhere fun workshops and art
  • manageable workloads (it's hot enough as it is)
  • (pragmatically balanced) radical inclusion of weirdoes and weaklings
  • a flat hierarchy where everyone's encouraged to take on one lead role
  • productive failure: Yes, We Can't!

So … Would you like to learn more details about our set-up and inner workings? Or maybe even … join?
