Thank You for Helsinki Decompression! ❤️‍🔥

It’s a wrap - but the afterglow is shining strong! Mirrors of Self-Discovery came, saw, and conquered 😍 Huge thanks to all the amazing artists, musicians, co-creators, dancers, dusty hippies, build and strike volunteers and every single one of you who made Helsinki Decompression a mind-blowing and insanely magnificent celebration of co-creativity!

Thank you for bringing your presence, your unique gifts, and for sharing them so generously with the community 😍

A few Thank You letters

Feedback questionnaire

Helsinki Decompression is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change - whether in the individual or in society - can only occur through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.

And THAT is why your feedback is so valuable! 💜

A brief summary will be shared at the Retro on Wednesday, May 28, so please share your thoughts before that. (All responses will be handled anonymously.)

Helsinki Decompression Retro on Wed 28.5.2025 🪩

Welcome to hang out with old and new friends, share your unforgettable moments from the event and keep the afterglow shining! ✨

In this meeting we as a community are also going to go through the event organizing process and make notes to help creating the next event even smoother. Agenda & venue TBA - stay updated and follow the FB event!

Stay updated about the next event's ticket sales and planning meetings

At Helsinki Decompression, there are no spectators: every attendee is a creator, collaboratively shaping spaces, experiences, and art installations. Everyone is invited to work, everyone is invited to play. And everyone buys the ticket - in time. 🫶

Helsinki Decompression 2025 was sold out, leaving many enthusiastic souls outside. To make sure this doesn’t happen to you next time, be sure to:

At Helsinki Decompression, every idea counts - big or small. Whether it’s an interactive installation, a performance, or simply giving out free hugs, the event is a playground where adults shed their titles and embrace creativity without limits. The content and programming are driven entirely by participants, making each installment of Decompression uniquely magical!

Helsinki Decompression and Eldis ry are enablers for this unique event organized by you and me - from the community for the community 💜 Everything is based on volunteering and participation - and the ticket sales: the sooner you buy your ticket, the sooner we can secure the venue and ensure we meet all legal requirements.

Who benefits and in what order

After covering the basic necessities with ticket income - such as security, first aid, Teosto fees, and everything mentioned above - we allocate funds to essential infrastructure like electricity, Leave No Trace, and fencing.

The remaining income is distributed back to the community to support art projects, installations, and all the creative magic that makes Helsinki Decompression truly special. In alignment with the principles of Burning Man, any profits are used to benefit the community. We do not pay salaries - even to the production team - instead, we aim to financially support as many projects as possible.

Everything is financed purely through ticket sales: the more we sell, the more we share. ❤️‍🔥 By joining the event, you help make Helsinki Decompression shine in all its glory!

Remember: Helsinki Decompression is not something someone produces - it’s created by all of its participants 🦄

So, until we meet again: let’s keep the sparkle alive!
