Healing Foot Wash at Burning Man is placed again for 2024 – Find us at 2:30 & E
We’re excited to announce that the Healing Foot Wash camp has once again received placement in 2024 at Burning Man.
This year we’ll be located at 2:30 & E!
We will be bringing 20 foot washing stations, our large shade structure, and plan to also bring an improved meditation space.
We have a couple of remaining tickets that we’ve been allocated that are still available. If you’ve thought about camping with the Healing Foot Wash in the past, and this might be a good year for you, please contact gserafini@gmail.com and we can see if you might be a good fit. )'(

We are so excited to be bringing the Healing Foot Wash once again to Burning Man. We just received our email from Placement confirming our location for this year: 4:00 & A. This is likely to be a high traffic area, one street away from Esplanade!!!

Selling our 30′ Geodesic Dome Tent for Burning Man by Shelter Systems – Update: Sold!
Our camp is selling our 30′ geodesic dome used on playa at Burning Man 7 times. Originally paid over $3,200, asking $1200 or a trade for 2-3 decent condition Kodiak canvas tents. DM me if you’re interested, happy to make a good deal.

Happy to announce we’ve been placed again this year. We’ll be in a new neighborhood for us, 3:30 and G. Very much looking forward to seeing all of our friends in the desert and making new ones too! 🙂
Healing Foot Wash is returning to Black Rock City in 2022! Placement Questionnaire Submitted
Thanks to Stepheno & Anna Lisa for helping prepare our Placement Questionnaire for 2022 Burning Man. We’re very excited to be returning again. Stepheno (our current official camp main lead) prepped an amazing actual-to-scale basically professional layout. Way better than my Illustrator mock-ups. Check it out, and hopefully we’ll see you in the dust SOOOOON!
Adventure camping! Come find us in the desert *Aug 29 – Sep 4, 2021* – “Plan B” – UPDATED estimated coordinates: 40.8109897, -119.1840921 – integrates.workshops.important
We’re bringing a minimal version of the Healing Foot Wash camp to the Black Rock Desert this year, from ~August 29 – September 4, 2021. Since there is no official Placement process this year, we’ve “placed” ourselves, and will see how it goes once we get there.
Approximate Estimated Location: ~ 7:45 and D (on this year’s grid, remember, most likely limited or no street signs).
~About one camp south of Burners With Kids camp (~100 families with kids).

This is our target initial rendezvous point, as of tonight’s planning call, subject to change, but we’ll try to update final coordinates once we’ve established base camp.
We’re planning on bringing 6 sitting chairs, 100 gallons of water, all our usual foot washing supplies!
See you there?!?

Healing Foot Wash theme camp placed again for 2019! Find us at 6:15 & H this year!
Once again we are very grateful to the Burning Man Placement team for including us as a placed theme camp. We’ve now washed thousands of feet at Burning Man, and are looking forward to another great year.
Of special note this year — we’re planning to offer an after hours self-service foot wash station that will allow participants to use our setup in a limited way during evening hours when the main Healing Foot Wash camp / experience is closed. Hopefully we’ll see you out there!
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.
