Unbelievable Moments Captured at Burning Man

The Initiation Ritual 

Those who attend Burning Man for the first time are asked to exit their vehicles upon arrival. They are asked to roll around in the sand and exclaim "I'm not a virgin anymore!" three times before receiving a group hug from veteran Burners. It is then customary for the veteran Burners to bring the first-timers to their favorite spaces to meet their Burning Man buddies.
