CONTACT 2026

We've returned from LoveBurn where 111 of us gathered on Virginia Key Beach to offer many transformative workshops, ecstatic dances, body work on the beach as well as Claudia's lovely Art Gallery Chill space and The Living Room's ball pit! The weather was great, with only two hours of a mild rain-shower early in the event! Thank you to each and every one of you who joined us for creating this magical space, we activated the beach with more infrastructure than ever and people are already talking about making 2027 even more fantastic! I want to make a special shout out to my Co-Lead Candle who worked tirelessly and coordinated the food and many other aspects of camp and has been quite generous in so many ways to provide so much ease in bringing this camp to life at Love Burn. We couldn't have done it without you!

Join Camp Contact at Burning Man 2026 - Continuing our path

Camp Contact’s most significant annual gathering happens at Burning Man, where we form a community of movers who celebrate Contact Improvisation, Acro Yoga, Ecstatic Dance and Authentic Relating.

After challenging weather yet with a more coherent camp in 2025, we are eager to return in 2026 at the same size, but with more land to breath in. We are back in good standing with Placement! We will remain as a camp with under 100 campers and a manageable infrastructure while maintaining and dialing in the magic that has made Camp Contact special.

Our Pod structure worked well for organizing camp and we had a much better strike! I would like to see us plan out the various aspects of our camp, especially the food program far earlier this year. We won't be taking last minute campers this year, it is important for people to be connected with camp ahead of time through our Zoom Calls.

We've already assembled a crack build team for 2026, with Nemo, Dorf, Jessie, & Eva all likely joining us to set up camp, and we welcome others to join us! Let’s come together to create a sustainable, inspiring, and deeply connected Camp Contact for Burning Man 2026. Please sign up for Camp Contact at Burning Man 2026! Further, Camp Contact has been granted a number of Stewards Sale tickets and have options to purchase Burning Man Tickets at the $675 tier level. Please message me directly on Telegram or via Email by Friday Morning with how many tickets and vehicle passes you desire, and we'll accommodate you if we can!

We don't anticipate doing any other events besides PDF and Burning Man this year, as we want to maintain our focus on these two great events and not dilute our efforts or get distracted with other events.

Camp Contact creates transformational workshops that bring embodiment, awareness, sensitivity and inspiration and offers them at burns! And, we work together to understand and grow in our relationships. This camp is an ever growing network of amazing humans. We are so grateful that, at each event, bonds are foraged and/or deepened. You put the connection into Contact. Thank you for being you! We look forward to dancing with you from the Eclipsing Sun to the Dust.
