Remembering our Great Wet & Dry Relay Race Slip N’ Slide Redemption BBQ™️ with *~~fondness~~*. Biggest ups to @joshclayperk who smashed the TV glass in just TWO swings!! We’ve simply never seen an old school TV smashed so smoothly and quickly in all our years!
We’ll have the relay race, slip n’ slide, and soooo much more at Churning Man 2026 🌞 All photos by the one and only @margaritas.at.the.mall
In case you haven’t heard, we started our own production company @sacredplayproductions! And we’re moving all wHoville and non-Churning Man events and updates over there. Give our new page a follow to stay up to date on all things Sacred Play beyond the Churn!!! 🛝🔮🧎➡️🤠
It’s official: JUNE 19-20, 2026 | CHURNING MAN 4: A Butter World Is Possible 🧈🌎💏
We’ve gone from a silly birthday party at our house to a 2-day music and art butter experiment at a real festival venue with overnight camping. This all feels a bit surreal, but the Churning Man team is already working really hard to bring you our best, buttery experiment yet 🫠🧈 THANK YOU to you, our Churners, for your love and support. None of this is possible without you, and we will never forget that.
Next up: a volunteer all-call, more info about the venue, and early-bird ticket sale details. Together, a butter world is possible. Let’s do this 💛💪🥰
Tickets on sale now, wHos! Link in bio 🤶
Since our location can only host so many people, we’re selling 200 tix. As always, this is one big experiment. Get ‘em while they’re hot 💚🎄🧤
Save the date, ya filthy animals. wHoville returns Saturday, December 20, 2025. More on that later 🤭🎄❤️💚

It’s not a cult!
The rain delay from the Churn meant we had to cut out a couple of VERY fun activities. Join us at our slippery redemption BBQ 🧘♂️🧈🧘♂️ Gonna be chill voibes; slide thru :) hehe
IT’S ALL HERE! And if you still have questions, drop them in the comments :)

These past few weeks, most months, and this past year in general have been profoundly intense, tragic, and filled with various kinds of grief and yet…inspiring for the world at large, our local Asheville community, and for us scheming at Churning Man HQ. How do we hold space for lives lost and families torn apart while still celebrating community by building connection through sacred play? The duality of humankind is not lost on us while we stand together As the World Churns. Our mission is to help us all hold space for everything that is light and dark in this world while creating an inclusive space where everyone feels safe. We strive to do this for this festival, and we will continue to strive for it at every space we create until our final days. We can’t wait to bask in the buttery goodness with y’all this Saturday, July 12, 2025 at the 3rd Annual Churning Man 🧈💕🥰
