“When the world becomes too serious, humor is the best way to pull the rug from beneath our senses and restore our footing in the world.”
— The Ancient Puppet Oracle of Lost Socks
This year’s Burnal Equinox theme will focus on HUMOR and rituals related to it. Humor comes in many forms and is an essential part of human survival, social dialogue, play, and innovation. Humor can reveal truths, change perspectives, open minds, and pave the way for understanding and deeper human experience. At a time when there has been grief, trauma and fear, we will respond by creating a safe and sacred creative playground for humor, laughter, and perseverance to unfold.
New this year! We are adding an early evening component you will not want to miss: The Intra-Psychic Puppet Dinner Theatre*, featuring wise (cracking) puppet oracles and dinner companions, a Sock Puppet Creation Station, The Altar of Missing Socks (bring your offerings), and much more! If you are a puppeteer, we would love for you to join us.

Homeless Care Pack Info:
Won’t you make your participation extra meaningful!
One of the principles of Burning Man is: Gifting. Please consider helping those less fortunate by contributing several items from the list below. The best result will be achieved if people bring at least one item from Group A, or a bag of items from Group B. Backpacks and other supplies will be provided by Burning Man and distributed to the homeless with love and care by members of our volunteer Community Events Team.
There will be no special discount for participating in the backpack program for the homeless. However, if you’d like a discounted entry price you can purchase your tickets early or arrive between 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm for the special early program — which you really don’t want to miss, anyway! : )
THANK YOU SO MUCH for being part of the success of this effort to help the homeless. You rock!
Burnal Backpack Items Request List
GROUP A ITEMS:
New Socks (packages of at least 3 pair) – men’s size 10-13 is most common, women’s size 9-11; put each pair in a Ziploc bag. Socks are usually thrown away once they get too dirty to wear as most homeless do not have access to laundry services.
New Underwear (packages of at least 3) – men’s boxers size M/L or Large; women’s basic brief size L(8-9), or XL(10); any color, cotton or cotton blend. Just like the socks, once they get too dirty to wear they are usually thrown away.
Tarp (1) – 6 ft x 8 ft tarps any color works but green and brown colors are best.
GROUP B ITEMS:
PLEASE PUT ALL ITEMS IN A GALLON ZIPLOC BAG
Toiletries: Your choice of 5 items from the list below
Note: liquid items should be no larger than 8 oz each. When it gets too heavy it’s a burden to move and can get tossed.
- Wet wipes – like the kind most of us use on playa
- Disposable twin-blade razors and shave cream
- Feminine personal hygiene items: tampons, panty-liners, pads, etc.
- Antibiotic ointment or cream – any size tube
- Toothbrush – soft bristles as many homeless have severe dental concerns
- Toothpaste – tarter control is always good
- Soap – Liquid soap is best (a pure castille soap is preferred for multiple uses)
- Shampoo/Conditioner – combo items are great
- Hand Sanitizer – no floral scents
- Lotion – skin calming or extra moisturizing is helpful
