| Burning Seed 2011 is the second annual Australian Regional Burning Man event, happening from the 9th -14th November 2011. After an amazing first burn in Bellingen last year, we are moving to a larger and more out-of-the-way location in a forest clearing near Narrandera in southern NSW.
Burning Seed is a gathering like no other, a not-for-profit festival run by participants and based around art and community. As the official regional burn for Australia, it follows in the footsteps of the Burning Man festival that has been taking place in Black Rock Desert, Nevada, USA, since 1991, where every year tens of thousands of people create a temporary city that rises from an ancient dry lake bed over a week of intense creativity and sharing, before disappearing without a trace. In recent years, the Burning Man cultural phenomenon has spread around the world, as burners share the spirit with their home communities and organise regional burns. These now include numerous events across the United States as well as AfrikaBurn in South Africa, Kiwiburn in New Zealand and Nowhere in Spain. Burning Seed, like the other regional burns, adheres to the 10 principles that guide the main Burning Man festival. These principles include radical self-expression, radical self-reliance, participation, communal effort, civic responsibility, radical inclusion, gifting, decommodification, leaving no trace and immediacy. Burning Seed is a temporary community that comes together over 5 days to share in creativity and community, where you must bring everything that you need to survive for the time you are there, where nothing can be bought or sold, and where you must take everything with you when you leave. There are no stalls, sponsors or advertisers, and the only transactions are those of a gift economy. The theme for this year's Burning Seed is Synergy, allowing us to explore the notion that, together, we can combine our talents and energies to build something that goes beyond the capabilities of each participant independently. Why have a theme at all? Our theme is about intention and uniting our community in a higher shared ideal; it is intended to inspire and challenge our imagination and creativity. If Burning Seed sounds like your thing, be sure to check out the First Timer's Guide, Survival Guide and Forums on this website to get more of an idea of what it's all about.
