Burning Seed is a gathering like no other; a not-for-profit, crowd-creation event run by participants and based around art, self-expression and community. 

Each year, we come together for six days in a state forest to build a temporary experimental community where you must bring everything that you need to survive for the time you are there, where nothing can be bought or sold, and where you must take everything with you when you leave. There are no stalls, sponsors or advertisers, and the only transactions are those of a gift economy. 

As the official regional burn of Burning Man Australia, it follows in the footsteps of the Burning Man festival, which has been taking place in Black Rock Desert, Nevada, USA, since 1991. These events are guided by 10 principles, including radical self-expression, radical self-reliance, participation, communal effort, civic responsibility, radical inclusion, gifting, decommodification, leaving no trace and immediacy.
