Burning Man event and culture are guided by The 10 Principles written in 2004 by co-founder Larry Harvey. [1]
The 10 Principles
Radical Inclusion: Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. No prerequisites exist, and strangers are welcomed and respected.
Gifting: The community is devoted to acts of unconditional gift-giving without expecting a return or exchange.
Decommodification: Social environments are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, advertising, or transactions to protect the culture from exploitation.
Radical Self-Reliance: Individuals are encouraged to discover, exercise, and rely on their own inner resources.
Radical Self-Expression: Self-expression arises from unique individual gifts, determined solely by the individual or collaborating group.
Communal Effort: The community values creative cooperation, collaboration, and supporting social networks and public spaces.
Civic Responsibility: Organizers and participants must value civil society, assume responsibility for public welfare, and obey local, state, and federal laws.
Leaving No Trace: Participants respect the environment, clean up after themselves, and leave gathering places in a better state.
Participation: Transformation occurs through deeply personal, active involvement; the community is committed to a radically participatory ethic where there are no spectators.
Immediacy: Immediate experience is the most important touchstone of value, overcoming barriers between people, their inner selves, and nature.
