Bohemian Grove

Bohemian Grove is a private retreat in California where influential men, including business leaders and politicians, gather annually for two weeks in July. Founded in 1872, it hosts a variety of cultural and artistic events, often featuring theatrical performances and discussions. The gatherings are known for their secrecy and exclusivity, leading to speculation about the influence and connections formed there. Members participate in elaborate rituals, including a symbolic ceremony known as the "Cremation of Care," which promotes camaraderie and relaxation away from public scrutiny. Critics often view it as a manifestation of elite networking and power dynamics.
