At that type of event, getting to know the other participants and having intimate conversations about your beliefs was really encouraged. So it would be really against the rules for a therapist to have that much interaction with a client outside of therapy.
I don't think that at all especially if it is something you were both planning on going to, and it doesn't have to be religious it could just be something that you are going to to embrace your alternative lifestyle (such as the burning man festival) in other words the rules of society there are significantly different than out in the rest of the world. Basically the Therapist-Client relationship is put to the side for those couple of days in favor of something much more greater.
