Bonjuk Bay and community is founded by Mehmet Mahruki (Memo), who spent most of his life traveling and living around the world exploring different places, enjoying variety of cultures, and seeking new experiences. His first experience at Burning Man in 2008 inspired him to question if the open-hearted, non-judgmental and collaborative mindset in this temporary city in the middle of the desert can be experienced in our daily lives.

We value Music, Arts, Sports, Personal and Spiritual Growth We believe in transformation through learning, giving and sharing.

We chose Spiral as our logo because of the symbolic implications of the SPIRAL: Evolution and holistic growth Letting go, surrender, release Awareness of the one within the context of the whole Connectivity and union with deific and cosmic energies Revolutions of time, stars, planets and the way of natural progress In terms of spirituality, the spiral symbol can represent the path leading from outer consciousness (materialism, external awareness, ego, outward perception) to the inner soul (enlightenment, unseen essence, nirvana, cosmic awareness). Movements between the inner (intuitive, intangible) world and the outer (matter, manifested) world are mapped by the spiraling of archetypal rings; marking the evolution of humankind on both an individual and collective scale.
