ntroducing the Temple of Collective Care

Dear dusty darlings, tender-hearted chaos sprites, and glorious citizens of our temporary wonderland,

We are honored to introduce the temple for Reso 2026: The Temple of Collective Care.

This year’s temple is a tender monument to support, resilience, and the quiet magic of holding one another up when the world feels heavy. A great hand rises from the earth, open and uplifted, as if offering both shelter and grace. Beneath it stands a wishing tree, rooted and reaching, a living symbol of hope, memory, and the dreams we entrust to community, to each other, and to ourselves. Together, the hand and tree form a sanctuary that speaks to our shared need for care: the hand representing the collective strength of the people around us, and the tree reminding us that even in difficult seasons, we continue to grow toward one another and toward the light.

In hard times, when so much feels uncertain, this temple honors the truth that none of us stands alone. We are held by the hands of our community, steadied by the roots we share, and lifted by the simple, powerful act of showing up for each other. It is a place for reflection, for release, for tenderness, and for remembering that even the softest gestures can hold immense strength.

 A Call for Volunteers Is Coming

Next week, we’ll be putting out a full call for volunteers for all roles, and we hope you’ll help us fill them — and invite your friends to do the same. Reso is built by people who raise their hands, step in, and help make the magic real.

And because we believe in supporting the supporters: all shifts this year will be 4 hours maximum, and you’ll receive a meal from our volunteer kitchen for every shift worked. Efficiency, nourishment, and heroic deeds? A fine combination.

We want theme camps, strange camps, delightful camps, cozy camps, interactive camps, camps with games, camps with art, camps with music, camps with a strangely specific bit that somehow becomes everyone’s favorite memory of the weekend.
