What does it all mean??
We love Burning Man and everything that it represents. Burning Man created a temporary city that exists once a year in the Nevada desert dedicated to community, art, self-expression, self-reliance. The Regional Networks want to keep that culture alive all year round and extend it to the ‘default world’.
