Greetings all,
We would like to start this message with a note sharing our support for the communities in the LA area. The devastation is immense and our hearts go out to all the communities. If there are ways the council can support you please let us know.
2025 is here! The Fire Conclave Council is excited and grateful to host Burning Man’s 34th Fire Conclave. In a collective display of creativity and skill, the Fire Conclave will honor the Man through a choreographed fire performance on Burn night.
Join us for an informal Q&A (which we like to call a Sit and Spin) to answer any questions you might have about Burning Man or the Fire Conclave. All are welcome, fire is optional (as is the “insert beverage of choice here”). This is a good way to ask some simple questions, get to know the council a little better or simply introduce yourself. Hanging out and listening is ok too.
Sit and SpinTuesday February 18th
6:00 PM to 8:00 PM PST (maybe longer if we are having fun)
Register here: https://forms.gle/jD2mvTh3a7zokoWe8
The zoom link will be sent to you about 24 hours before the session.
Are you considering joining the Fire Conclave or leading a group through the audition process? Read So You Wanna Be a Shin. It will tell you about the audition process and share a little about what it takes to perform in the Great Circle. Look for the document on the Fire Conclave Resource Page. (keep this link as lots of info and details are kept here)

Burning Man 2025: Tomorrow Today
The 2025 Burning Man theme is an invitation to imagine the future in new ways, and to make it real through our collective actions. In the exuberant spirit of the prior century’s world fairs, which celebrated not only scientific progress but also cultural exchange and artistic excellence, the 2025 edition of Black Rock City will showcase Burning Man’s global culture of art and innovation. It will provide a venue for us to dream, invent, prototype and share our best and brightest ideas for the years ahead.
“The future doesn’t exist. The only thing that exists is now and our memory of what happened in the past. But because we invented the idea of a future, we’re the only animal that realized we can affect the future by what we do today.” ―David SuzukiRead more on the Burning Man website.
BURNER PROFILE, BURNING MAN TICKETS & VEHICLE PASSES
The Burning Man Ticket page is the best place to get the most up-to-date and accurate information about ticketing options. You must be pre-registered through the Burner Profile system to participate in any of the ticket sales. (Hint: if you haven’t already, set up your Burner Profile now.) There are many ways to purchase a ticket, so check the Burning Man Ticket page for details.
If you purchase a ticket and then learn that you’ve been accepted into the Fire Conclave, we’d love it if you would use the ticket you already purchased. If you must sell it, we encourage you to sell it through the STEP program or, in the spirit of the 10 Principles you may gift purchased tickets. If you move from your current address please make sure you change it in Burner Profiles.
