Participate

SOAK is the total sum of the activities of its participants. How you participate is as limited as your imagination, but the expectation is for you to give respect freely to others and yourself without condition. 

Burning Man Culture

A unique and distinctive culture emerges from the Burning Man experience. Rooted in the values expressed by the 10 Principles, this culture is manifested around the globe through art, communal effort, and innumerable individual acts of self-expression. To many, it is a way of life. Creating a space for all to participate and share their unique gifts, experiences, and perspectives is what makes our community so expansive, cultivating communities nationwide and internationally.
