BURNERS ANONYMOUS® is a fellowship of men and women, freaks and geeks, ravers/goths/hippies/yippies/furries/LampLighters/Greeters/DPWers/Rangers/etc. who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from Burning Man.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to burn. There are no dues or fees for B.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our individual pARTicipation.

Is B.A. For You?

Only you can decide whether you want to give B.A. a try —
whether you think it can help you.

The 12 Steps of Burners Anonymous
(thank you, Diode)

1. We admitted we were powerless over our lives - that our lives had become unmanageable
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of the Man as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless quest to the desert.
5. Admitted to the Man, to ourselves and to the desert the exact nature of our wrongs
6. Were entirely ready to have the Man remove all these defects of character
7. Humbly asked the Man to remove our shortcomings by burning Him.
8. Made a list of all the stuff we would need for next year.
9. Made direct connections to all the burners we wanted to meet.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were lacking cool gear promptly acquired it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with the Man as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of how to build a bigger fire and how to carry it out.
12. Having had a hell of a spiritual hangover as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other burners, and to practice these principles in all our affairs
