2016 Burning Man Theme Camp, Burning Man, Camp, Placement, Planning

Healing Foot Wash camp has been placed for 2016!

Thanks to the Placement team at Burning Man, we’ve been placed again for 2016! This year Healing Foot Wash will be located in the vicinity of Rod’s Road @ 8:30 — on the road circling Center Camp. Very exciting!

Planning is in full force for our camp activities.  We currently have 13 participants signed up this year to bring this service

We’re interested in donations / contributions of:

  • Dr. Bronner’s soap
  • Vinegar
  • Hand / foot / body lotion of any kind
  • Salves
  • Clean / new pairs of socks (cotton / sports / athletic type, interesting patterns great!)

Please contact Anna Lisa at annalisakronman@gmail.com if you’d like to arrange to make a contribution of any of these items to our camp!

Healing Foot Wash camp at Burning Man 2015

Some more pictures from our time at Burning Man 2015. Over a thousand people had their feet washed and also had the opportunity to give the gift of washing feet at Burning Man this year. A lot of work and a great success!

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!

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).

Working on our evapotron

Washing feet at Burning Man results in some gray water that needs to be evaporated or brought back home.  We’ve been working on building an evapotron to help evaporate water while we’re on the playa.  Mark, Rachel and Anna Lisa did a great job on this!

We were asked to move our Burning Man theme camp stuff out of the Berkeley CSO basement and storage space.  It was a good opportunity to consolidate and find a new home for our infrastructure.

Healing Foot Wash Camp Receives Placement for 2015 Burning Man!

2015 Burning Man Map

We’re excited to have been given Placement for 2015 Burning Man!!!  In 2014 Healing Foot Wash camp was located at 9:05 and I.  This year we have been Placed at 5:30 and B.  This is very close to Center Camp and will put our camp right in the heart of all the action.

Congratulations!!!

It is our pleasure to inform you that Healing Foot Wash has been officially placed for Burning Man 2015: Carnival of Mirrors!

Your approximate location is 5:30 & Ballyhoo  and will measure approximately 100 by 50.  If your dimensions contain a + or – sign, it means your camp is an odd shape.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Burning Man this year!  Come by and have your feet washed and join us in washing feet yourself. 🙂
