18.01.2022 The Temple has always been the spiritual centre of Burning Seed and it would be strange to have a Seed event without one. Well, we're very excited to announce t...hat our online Burning Seed event will have a real physical Temple which will stream into the event. In this image you can see Rusty Kilpatrick, our Temple Design Artist and Builder, standing on Gumbaynggirr Country - the same country that the first-ever Burning Seed was held. Rusty is looking towards Old Man Dreaming (the mountain range in the background), and this spot is the location of our Temple burn. You'll have an opportunity to submit your messages to be printed and placed in the Temple, and we will be posting some images of the Temple and it's description tomorrow. Burn Bright )'(

15.01.2022 *** A message from the REC Restructure Committee *** Hello BOSS Burners, it's Baron de Merxhausen here as the Restructure Lead to provide you with our latest and greatest (and only) Spring Equinox Report! Now Theydies and Gentlethem DO I HAVE AN UPDATE FOR YOU!... 2020 has been a doozy, and while the world has been busy trying to end us in one way or another, yours truly and a group of intrepid burners have been whittling away the small hours in a tightly packed Zoom room, working out the finer details of the Burning Seed Restructure. It has been really hard but very rewarding work and I'm super pleased with how it's going. Enjoy our 2020 Spring Equinox Report! shorturl.at/dwz25 Also, if the future of Seed is something that deeply interests you then you will no doubt love diving into this update, and if you have specialised skills that you think could help us, please get in touch!
