Take a Break: Celebrate Burning Man 2018

Burning Man 2018 is underway from Aug. 26 to Sept. 3. This year’s theme is “I, Robot, which focuses on the many forms of artificial intelligence in our lives.

Not familiar with Burning Man? It began in 1986 when two friends put together a wooden figure and burned it on a San Francisco beach. Today close 70,000 people are gathering in Black Rocks, creating a one of a kind culture in the desert abiding by the principles of:

• Radical Inclusion, Self reliance and self expression

• Gifting

• Decommodification

• Communal Effort

• Civic Responsibility

• Leaving no trace

• Participation

• Immediacy
