How it all began..
A vision for a sunset party at Burning Seed came to life!
Jasper left his corporate sales role at Google, driven to have a bigger impact. Starting his own business as a consultant enabled the flexibility to explore his passions. He dreamt of going to Burning Man but it sold out in 30 seconds! But to his surprise, he found evidence of an official Regional Burning Man event taking place in Australia!
He took the adventure, a 7-hour road trip from Sydney to discover Burning Seed back in 2013. What he experienced was mind-opening! A community without judgement that encourages full self-expression and inclusion. Where you could not buy anything but rather enjoyed gifts from strangers. He was inspired to bring his friends the next year and it also sparked a vision for a theme camp they could create - a destination to enjoy the amazing sunsets.
The very next year Sunset Island was born. From humble beginnings, the gathering grew every year as Burning Seed got larger. Everyone knew when and where to go - they followed the sunset as they walked into a beautiful gathering of joy, dance, dress-ups, performances and sublime music. 1000’s now enjoy this magical destination every night of Burning Seed.
Thrown into the party scene. The struggle to find the balance
Jasper discovered a more colourful and creative version of himself. Hosting many fun themed fundraising parties with his friends so they could deliver Sunset Island each year.
However, the parties finished late and included the usual cocktail of drugs and alcohol. It became a challenge to find the balance with the healthy and active lifestyle he loved. Having struggled with anxiety, the late nights and hangovers took their toll.
Eventually, it was hitting rock bottom with depression where he knew it was time for change. He lost his purpose for organising parties and took a break from the substances. Taking a trip to the Bali Spirit Festival to reconnect with himself, he ended up dancing for hours every night on ecstatic dance floors completely sober. He was amazed how ‘high’ he got naturally.
After a week of dance, yoga, meditation and breathwork Jasper felt transformed. It was dancing at sunset on the beach at Gili Air after the festival where the vision came to him - the world needs EPIC drug and alcohol-free parties!
He knew his passion and experience for organising parties could be applied to pave the way for a new more healthy way to party.
But what would an amazing party be like without alcohol and drugs?
Xstatic Sunsets Launches on Shark Island
Experiencing the magic of dancing into the sunset and the fun of costuming at Burning Seed - the concept for Xstatic Sunsets became clear. Themed dress-up parties at sunset!
Leading to the question of sunset venue for a launch event. We just couldn’t go past Shark Island with the best view of sunset in Sydney.
Despite National Parks banning parties on the island, we were able to get them over the line with our social impact mission and given it was drug and alcohol-free and we had a focus on ‘leave no trace’. The date was set for the 3rd April 2019. We just needed the sun to shine.
The day was spectacular! Themed on dancing through the decades, people dressed as their favourite decade creating a sea of colour and high vibes.
As we danced into the most magical sunset right in the middle of Sydney Harbour we couldn’t believe how ‘high’ the energy was. The dance floor went off! It was hard to believe everyone was sober!
Concept proven - Our purpose became clear
The launch event was a hands-down success with rave reviews from people of all ages.
We proved there was no compromise in the party but with the added benefits of conscious conversations, connection and respect. The natural high felt by everyone was all-pervading. And there was practically no rubbish (we picked up half a shopping bag!).
We realised how powerful this experience can be for someone who has never experienced it. It’s mind-opening and inspiring. Why would you ever get wasted again knowing you can feel so good naturally? It should at least help people moderate and find the balance.
Our mission came clear. We need to expand around Australia to provide this option to everyone. Recognising one party could change someone’s life. We knew we could play a role to inspire a more healthy party culture, that better serves people and communities, to live their most vibrant life.
Looking to the future - Growing the movement
Jasper Vallance the founder, leads Xstatic Sunsets as an NFP social enterprise, with a vision to expand around Australia to run quarterly events across cities and bring the concept to Universities and schools one day. Recognising the change will come from our youth.
We are looking for partners to support and benefit from our growth as the movement grows.
Jasper who has travelled on his own journey of self-discovery to connect with his purpose loves to inspire others on their journey, offering inspiring talks and keynotes on purpose.
