Dreaming of going home...I was thinking of the 10 principles of Burning Man and wanting to be a regional for my new area.

You can apply the 10 principles to your life, right now.

all principles shorten ...check out the website for more detailed info. http://www.burningman.com

• Radical Inclusion-anyone can be part of, strangers are welcomed & respected.

• Gifting-devoted to giving, giving is unconditional,does not contemplate a return or exchange of something of equal value.

• Decommodification-to preserve the spirit of gifting...create a social environment that are unmediated by commerical sponsorships.

• *Radial Self-reliance-encourages the individual to discover,exercise & rely on your inner sources.

• Radical Self- expression-arises from the unique gifts of the individual.

• Communal Effort-values creative cooperation and collaboration.

• Civic Responsibility-value civil society.

• *Leaving No Trace-respects the environment, committed to leaving no physical trace of our activity wherever we gather.

• *Participation- committed to a radical participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in a society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. ...Make the world real through actions that open the heart.

• Immediacy-...seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers.
