Scandinavia's Burn fosters radical trust. They create their own world (on their own land) where no one is in charge.
They commit to the risk & reward of community buy-in.
Hear how they let go to stay together.

The ‘24 Hours at Burning Man’ guy goes deep into play, creative process & the ethics of recording in BRC. He & Andie Grace get sociological about being a Greeter and how ‘acculturation is an everybody thing.’
