=== Siren Island ===
Siren Island is modeled off the greek mythology of the Seirēn, it makes relevant the powerful untamed feminine that bestows healing powers and offers the wisdom of nature. Through archaeological and ethnographic research on the history and use of olive oil, our treatments revolve around oil bathing, giving the island its phrase ET OLEVM AD INFLVVNT, meaning “The Oil Will Flow.”

The Swimming Tree will grow from a floating platform that sits at the center of the Arts District and acts as a swimming dock. During the day, swimmers will relax on cushions under the tree’s shade. At night, lights will peak from the canopy and create a quiet and magical place.

For the third year, The Pontunery Shade Platform returns to Ephemerisle to host live music jams, performances, and workshops on our beautiful floating porch.
 
 
 
The Pontunery first arrived at Ephemerisle as a pontoon boat in 2016, hence the name. We rented a pontoon boat and transformed it into a live music jam space with comfortable seating and shade. In 2017 we created a 12x16 hand-built floating porch for waterside music playing and lounging in the shade. We have hosted karaoke, workshops and talks, a dance party, and much music-playing.

Have You No Shame are a set of "Adopt-a-Shame" cards featuring festival and boating mishaps and social faux pas. Adopt someone else's abandoned Shame and pose for a proud photo as a new Shameparent. Look for the person who actually did the bad thing.
 
Also, don't ever do that thing again.

Also known as "Bust Out a Second Thousand".
 
 
 
Workboats, interisland ferries, boats for nighttime island-hopping, marina pickup, boats to rescue your island's broken boat-small workboats make Ephemerisle possible. Boats also cost. Boats break. Boat storage costs. Boats use much more gas than cars. They also sometimes sink and cost money to recover. Ask us how we know.
 
 
 
We have a 2019 crew in need of event workboats, and old workboats in need of that infamous "another thousand". Bust Out A Second Thousand will support workboats for art projects for the Arts And Entertainment District project. Please support our boating habit so you don't have to develop this addiction yourself.

Ephemerisle! By popular demand, we bring you... TOILETS!
 
 
 
Ephemerisle has no more rental houseboats, and with them went all of their toilet/holding tank infrastructure. That could be a shitty situation.  So - let's pitch in for the Poop Deck 2019! We are also looking for a better loading system/a lift gate, so there is less wrestling of toilets onto trailers this year.
 
 
 
Community toilets are following The Pontunery to it's 2019 site, and will be located at the Arts And Entertainment District, an art park of public hangout spaces, art, and art boat docks at Elysium Archipelago.

=== The Sanctuary ===
  
We are taking this opportunity to express our gratitude, the fundraiser was a phenomenal success with around 8k raised, this helps our ecstatic community stay afloat.The steadiness of our sail comes from the contributions of our volunteers, attendees and benefactors.

* [https://www.tilt.com/tilts/the-sanctuary-at-ephemerisle-2015 The Sanctuary]
  
While the wind carrying us is strong, we are 2k shy of our goal. The complete 10k affords the purchase of a work boat to reliably move the barge and act as a ferry for Elysium. We are soliciting donations for the next two weeks. If you have previously expressed an interest in contributing funds to keep our beloved barge project alive, helping close this financial gap is a great way to do it.

If you can support us, please send a note to barge-admin@googlegroups.com - we take cash, crypto and we’ll broadcast your generosity to the community (or not, if you prefer).

"Dandelion"

The Relentless Artstead Boat Project

... explore the possibilities of art, performance, and seasteading while bringing boating into the world of art and art into the world of boating. Crew members from the project "Swimming Cities of Serenissima" by the artist Swoon have teamed up with an all star crew of Bay Area artists to salvage a 1945 hand crafted houseboat. We plan to convert the boat into a mobile artstead in the ad-hoc style of San Francisco's unique D.I.Y. arts community.
