OFFICIAL BURNING MAN PORTLAND REGIONAL PAGE:

Events are organized by our legal governing entity Precipitation NW. This page is managed by the Burning Man, Portland Regional Contacts. All events organized by Precipitation NW follow these guiding principles:

*Inclusion
Anyone may be a part of the Portland Burning Man Community*. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.

*Gifting

The Portland Burning Man Community* is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.

*Decommodification
In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.

*Self-reliance
The Portland Burning Man Community encourages the individual to discover, exercise, and rely on their inner resources.

*Self-expression
Self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient.

*Communal Effort
Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction.

*Civic Responsibility
We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state, and federal laws.

*Leaving No Trace
Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.

*Participation
Our community is committed to a participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.

*Immediacy
Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We 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. No idea can substitute for this experience.

*These principles are informed and inspired by the Burning Man Project, for more information please visit: Burning Man and the The Ten Principles. PARTNER SITES:
