Never-Not-Broken

There is Power in a Name…

The name of our camp is inspired by the 2026 Love Burn theme, and the Hindu goddess Akhilanda, the Buddhist philosophy of wabi-sabi and kintsugi, and the path Chick and Jaidy took to find one another.

Akhilanda’s name is the never-not-broken universal cosmic egg. It is a double negative, emphasizing the utter brokenness of her nature, the nature of our reality, of holding and being held in community, in love, and in us all.  

She is a perfectly imperfect cracking-budding goddess. Her chariot is a crocodile that is both her consort, and as she falters, her consumer. The crocodile takes her to the depths, spins her into chaos, chomps her into quantum pieces. They spin together into a wholly broken-break-apart reformation. Again and again. The destruction and creation of all universes. 

And they rise together, healing, still-broken, in love, perfect and at peace. Her face still sports a Mona Lisa smile. Between them, they are all of us, all of existence. Wild-bound and unbounded-free, restrained and struggling to be held. They hold the union of opposites within everything and show us how that union can bring wholeness. As above, so below; As within, so without; As the universe, so the soul. Solve et Coagula. Dissolution and reformation.

The lightness of Being shines between the liminal spaces in our lives. Crossing the Abyss upon Choronozon—chaos toys with us—making us stronger, lighter versions of ourselves.
