This is a nice article written a little while back now that speaks to a lot of the benefits that can be scene from Burning Man and the impact the guidelines of events such as this can have on the world at large.
I just quickly wanted to share a video of a conversation between Daniel Pinchbeck & comedian Reggie Watts that discussed many interesting ideas but specifically mentioned the area of music in relation to Burning Man and other events thats center a great deal around the community formed through music.
In the Burning Man community there is a motto that we live by, the words “Leave No Trace” are a way of life in this desert bazaar. Many people ask what exactly this means and how it's possible to manage. Leave no trace is very applicable to the natural world in ways that are easier than they may seem.
Turning over bricks wrought by the center
Leaves drift through gaps of confidence
The void asks nothing
Tells nothing
Knows nothing
Does nothing
Is nothing
And yet is everything
The heart is the local ambassador of the center of being
Metaphor in flesh
Let me show you the mountains and the valleys
Find and hide
Seek and speak and pray
To need to know

Burning Man is a riotous yet organized celebration of music, art and excess held in the Nevada desert each year. It attracts about 50,000 visitors and becomes the third or fourth largest city in Nevada for one week each year. But while Burning Man celebrates certain types of excess, it also emphasizes stewardship of our planet’s limited resources through various means.
For millennia, we human beings lived in walled cities. That was where the power was. We were safe and warm inside the walls that kept the dark chaos of nature - out.
Are you looking for a ride to Burning Man? A couple of our riders dropped out for financial reasons and we are looking for two or three more people to drive up with us so that transportation does not become super expensive for everybody! We are a fun, nice group of people with an awesome playlist, last year our drive was a blast!
"Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for." — Hopi elders
