We have experienced something nearly impossible to explain, the cosmic shifts inside of us are not reflected in the world around us. Friends, family and co-workers expect us to be the same, but we are not the same. We long to escape the confines of our daily existence, but we’re stuck in the patterns of our lives for another, long, year.
The decompression process culminates in the opportunity to re-create our experience for one night, here on our home turf. Here, we can share our experience, celebrate our personal transformation and officially make the transition back to life as we know it. We can also party with a few hundred of our closest friends, and check out some of Vancouver’s best Burning Man art, music, theme camps, performances, activities, costumes and revelry.
Burning Man Vancouver we present to you, your very own Decompression!
Like the Burning Man festival itself, it is most rewarding when experienced as a participant rather than a spectator – so get involved! Bring the project you brought to Burning Man, left half-finished on your couch, or have been dreaming of for months. Help us build, decorate, ranger, greet or break down. Invite your cool friends who will “get it.”
Thanks to Burning Man Vancouver community for its participation and creativity & to the Greater Vancouver Interactive Arts Society (GVIAS) for making this all possible.

In Reno now, on Saturday. The Core burn was excellent. Looking forward to Dust Off.

Just got home last night. Definitely need to be there, and think I have just the thing to treat everyone with a nice surprise…
Hey! I still haven’t met most of you… would love to help out after midnight as I am working until then. Let me know what I can do!
either click the contact us link, and offer your services as a volunteer. Or just buy your ticket and fill out the volunteers survey that accompanies the purchase.
thanks for offering your assistance.
The excitement builds. Pieces falling into place. I can’t wait.
We have an unofficial after burn event here in Boulder Colorado we also call
.::..:.DustOFF.:.::….
It started in 2007 and ours only happens on years where there are motivated volunteers, and a venue to host.
This year it’s on Oct 8th and hosted by the BurnWorks.
Just thought I’d invited anyone who didn’t get a ticket, or doesn’t get enough, dust off.
