FIRST TIMER’S GUIDE

For some, it’s our first time!

In the tradition of Burning Man, held annually in the Black Rock Desert, USA, we will gather together as a local Australian burner community for Burning Seed.

In the spirit of Burning Man, this event is dedicated to art, community, self-expression and self-reliance. Here you are guaranteed to be part of the propagation of a living culture and participate in an experiment in temporary community. Here you are encouraged to express yourself, your individuality and your creativity to its full imagining.

Entertainment is provided by the limitless expression of your imagination in whatever manifestation possible. By attending this event you are assuming the role of active participant. As a community we will embrace the possibilities of freedom of expression, radical inclusion and the sustainability of our environment. You will become part of the ever growing worldwide community of Burners who are active in ensuring the fire of Burning Man never goes out.
