-
Civic Responsibility
-
There aren’t many rules, but that doesn’t give you an excuse to be a dick. Be aware and sensitive to others.
-
-
Leave No Trace
-
Trash cans are not provided. You brought it in - you take it away with you.
-
Don’t bring things or do things that you can’t or won’t clean up afterwards. In particular, don’t bring glitter, confetti, Chinese lanterns, sequins or anything else that might ‘shed’.
-
Don’t leave cigarette butts around – bring your own container for them and take them away. Altoids tins are great for this.
-
NO OUTSIDE FIREWOOD. There is an abundance of wood available on site. This is a nature preserve and the caretakers wish to avoid contaminants.
-
-
Decommodification
-
Nothing will be sold on site, and we’d prefer not to see the exchange of money.
-
-
Immediacy
-
Being here now is the best way to experience a burn. Use your phone as little as possible – maybe leave it in your car and forget about it.
-
-
Gifting
-
It’s part of the experience to gift things to others – whatever you’d like to share. This might be food, a massage or an experience, costumes or accessories – whatever your imagination suggests.
-
-
Radical Inclusion
-
This event is invitation only, so please don’t bring anyone not on the invite list.
-
However, as a principle we welcome anyone prepared to experience a burn – whatever political preference, gender, sexual preference, skin color, nationality, or taste.
-
-
Participation
-
Get involved in whatever is going on. Don’t be a tourist. Bring your thing, or join in with others. The more you put in, the more you’ll get out.
-
-
Consent
-
Respect for others starts with permission. Always make sure consent is given before acting – whether that is a hug, a photo, a gift or getting jiggy.
