mission & principles

Coalesce New Years is a gathering based on collective contribution, merged by creative forces. Our mission is to come together as a whole and create a vibrant display of music, art, and community in the Southern California desert.

Coalesce’s core values are: 

Cooperation

We believe in working for the collective good of all people, rather than for personal gain. We support cooperation over competition.

Open Mindedness

We believe in being non-judgemental. Keep an open mind when you’re in the desert, and you’ll be surprised at what the Universe will reveal to you. 

Artistic Expression

We believe in radical expression. Whether large or small, Coalesce is the perfect platform to share your creative endeavors and ideas.

Leave No Trace

We believe in respecting the environment and cleaning up after ourselves. When Coalesce is over, there should be no evidence that we were ever there. 

Equality

We believe that we were all created equal, and that everyone has a part to contribute in making Coalesce what it is. 

Self-Reliance

We believe in being independent and relying on our inner resources to survive. The desert environment can be harsh. Take care of yourselves. 

Cultivate Respect

We believe in creating a community that respects and loves all living beings. Respect the land. Respect others. Respect yourself. 

Evolution

We believe in the power and inevitability of change. No Coalesce is ever the same, but every Coalesce is created with intention and authenticity.
