Irish Burning Man decomp 2014

Do not come to the castle if you don't have a ticket. You will not be admitted. There will be NO tickets at the gate! This is strictly an over 21s BYOB participant centric event. No glass allowed.

The Charleville Castle Heritage Trust has kindly offered to open its doors to our community for the dual purpose of experiencing at home the Burning Man environment and helping to restore and maintain the Castle as an important part of our heritage. You are expected as Burners to fully respect the principles of Burning Man. Most importantly we will leave no trace that we were ever there. This is a principle we are very proud of and you should be too. There'll be an opportunity to directly help with the clean up the following morning but we should be doing so throughout the night.

Remember, there are no staff, we all buy tickets to the event and we all participate. This is a non-profit event. All of the ticket money goes to sponsoring future art projects and restoring the Castle.

If there's an art/music project you want to set up please let us know on the main website so that we can find somewhere to put you.

TEN PRINCIPLES OF BURNING MAN

Radical Inclusion
Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.

Gifting
Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.

Decommodification
In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.

Radical Self-reliance
Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on his or her inner resources.

Radical Self-expression
Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient.

Communal Effort
Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction.

Civic Responsibility
We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws.

Leaving No Trace
Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.

Participation
Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.

Immediacy
Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience.
