	What Is Burning Man? Every year, tens of thousands of participants gather to create Black Rock City in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, dedicated to self-expression, self-reliance, and art as the center of community. They leave one week later, having left no trace. Read Burning Man's mission statement, 10 Principles, and learn more about this incredible experience. 2007 Art Theme: The Green Man The Art Theme for Burning Man 2007 is "The Green Man". Our theme concerns humanity's relationship to nature. Do we, as conscious beings, exist outside of nature's sway, or does its force impel us and inform the central root of who and what we are? Learn more about the greening of Burning Man in our new Environment Section and our Enviroblog. Essential Event Information The 2007 Survival Guide is mandatory reading for every participant. Get a sneak preview to the event in the Summer Newsletter. Get to and from the event the eco-friendly way by ridesharing, and get oriented with the BRC 2007 Map.
