Gifting

This deserves its own section because it is a big one for Burning Man Virgins

Many people hear about Burning Man gift culture before they ever experience it themselves.

Some assume that it is some kind of barter system for all the things you need—Nope, that is just commodification in drag

Others assume it is like Christmas and they will bring Tsotchkes to hand out— Closer but it still misses the larger picture of what is possible here. Plus who needs more doodads in their world.

To get closer to the idea, I suggest viewing these videos:

There is a reason that Gifting is one of the Ten Principles of Burning Man. Buried within this seemingly simple idea are life-altering lessons. Allow yourself the space of possibility to see this differently than you ever imagined.
