In contrast to the traditional Center Camp Cafe's vending model, we'll be serving free drinks in a ceremonial way - a participatory experience, not a commodity for spectators.
Our offering celebrates Burning Man's 10 Principles, including:
Radical Inclusion: We promote Diversity and Inclusion by having a diverse team that features drink services from cultures from around the world.
Gifting & Decommodification: All our offerings will be free, unlike the historical cafe.
Participation: Ceremonial drink service requires Participation not just Consumption.
Immediacy: Ceremonial drink service helps bring us into the present moment, connecting heart-to-heart.
