I personally knew a middle school teacher and a youth soccer coach that attended to clear her mind before the grind of being a teacher. She was one of the most grounded individual
I have ever met. Small sample size but an example that all kinds of people attend for various reasons.
I did get the impression from a news segment I saw somewhere or other was that Burning Man was created by Silicon Valley types who were disillusioned by a site they had picked for a social gathering and for some reason they picked one of the most isolated places in a state that has many places where only lizards travel. Maybe not even lizards.
