Coracle

Guided by the 10 principles of Burning Man, Coracle celebrates art, community, play and expression. Children of all ages are welcome. There is no vending of any kind at Coracle, there are no commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. You must bring everything you need to survive and thrive in early November elements (cold, rain, sunshine). All offerings by participants are offered as a gift, and our temporary celebration thrives on acts of gift-giving, with no expectation of return.

Regional Event

Dutch Decompression

They are places where you learn things about yourself, where your inner vision opens, your horizons expand. The Decom is here to celebrate the challenge that comes from change. And to hopefully soften the sometimes-rough landing… The very basic core of a Burner’s spirit is their passion for adventure. The joy of life that comes from our encounters with new experiences. There is no greater thrill than to discover a changed horizon, to have a different sun for each new day. Using these learnings and new horizons, we encourage you to contribute to this year’s philosophy. Create an artwork, performance or decoration that forecasts your future. Imagine alternative pasts which, branching off from what we know, create alternative realities. The horizon leans forward, offering you space to take new steps of change.

OTHERWORLD – Vancouver Island's Regional Ripple Effect
“I do it because I believe in humans. I believe that we can do culture differently. And regional Burns and Otherworld and Burning Man specifically are real life containers where we get to live out these philosophies in real life that we often just get to like, hypothesize about.”
~Jax Creatrix… Continue Reading…
The Borderland: Trust Creates Worlds
It’s really trust-based. I would say that’s the one factor that separates Borderland from a lot of other Burns, organizations in general, the general level of trust between members is very high, and it’s designed that way. It’s very, in that sense, risk-taking, but I wouldn’t say it’s taking a risk because it works really well. It also creates resiliency because there’s so much also loyalty among the members, and the actual belief that their opinion matters. And then you get so much good will and so much buy-in from the community…. Continue Reading…
From Flipside to the Future – George Paap
“The art that’s out at Burning Man, there’s no other place on the planet for it. And I tell people — this is my tagline for Burning Man — It’s the most creative place on the planet, for a week. Wouldn’t you want to go there? I think I want to go to the most creative place on the planet, and experience a planetary event like that. This is a planetary thing. This is not a San Francisco thing or an Austin thing. It’s a world wide global thing.”… Continue Reading…
