Gabriel’s 2016 Healing Foot Wash Burning Man Theme Camp photos

This was our 4th year bringing the Healing Foot Wash camp to Burning Man. We had a great team this year and welcomed an estimated 1400-1800 people to our camp to participate in foot washing. Once again, people were moved and touched to be offered both the gift of having their own feet washed as well as the option to give that same gift to another visiting person. We were fully packed during our open hours from 9:30am – 5:00pm, Monday through the Saturday morning before the Burn. Thanks again to everyone who participated!

These are Gabriel’s photos from this year’s camp.

Arrived to 40-50 MPH windstorms, setting up our Burning Man theme camp

We finally arrived and were warned at Greeters that there were 40-50 MPH wind storm gusts predicted for that evening, so batten everything down that we didn’t want to blow away. We would have multiple white-out windstorms over the next couple of setup days but made the best of it and had a great time getting everything setup for our Healing Foot Wash camp.

Kind of dusty!

Goggles and face masks came in handy

Starting to build out our shade structure

Pretty hair

Dusty tents

From Reno to Black Rock City, on our way!

We finally made it to the playa and then proceeded to wait in line (even though we’re Early Arrival there are still thousands of folks also waiting to get in even though it’s 2 days before public entry).
