Each of my three years at Burning Man has been a different experience, each with different challenges and opportunities. \u00a02013 was a year of just getting out there in that dusty, vibrating, lively place, learning that by our kind acts and loving embrace of all\u00a0came by, we were living Church in an unchurchy place. \u00a0Finding a spot\u00a0at the outer fringes of the\u00a0Black Rock City, we washed perhaps about 100 pairs of feet, and gave away a lot of copies of Science and Health, the textbook on healing spiritually, by Mary Baker Eddy. \u00a0In 2014, we applied for and received “placement”, meaning our camp was recognized as being of sufficient value to have a designated spot. \u00a0We\u00a0were placed close to some big sound camps, and across from the Spank Bank… and interesting answer to prayer about where to be placed! \u00a0Embracing the opportunity, we\u00a0continued to wash feet to the amazement of many, sharing with folks who were interested what moved us to do so. \u00a0We probably washed at least 300 pairs. \u00a0In 2015, we were placed\u00a0near\u00a0the heart of the Center Camp neighborhood, and found people were both delighted and\u00a0grateful for clean feet, and generally accepted the invitation\u00a0to wash their neighbor’s feet. \u00a0Giving them that opportunity proved a surprising and very enriching gift\u00a0for many. \u00a0Each day, all 16 chairs\u00a0were occupied\u00a0most of the day, with folks waiting (patiently) for their turn.\u00a0We estimate that well over 1,000 folks had their feet washed. \u00a0Most of those 1,000 stayed to wash someone else’s feet. \u00a0Here are a few moments from my 2015 week.
