The Village Heart Squad will steward the everyday practices and principles that tend to the well-being of Camp Contact and its citizens. This year, the Heart Squad will not only provide emotional support to those in need, it will also strive to build an emotionally supportive community as well. It’s not enough to just provide a shoulder to lean on, when our community has a culture that feels safe, inclusive, and welcoming we are more likely to Radically Express our best selves!
The Heart Squad will offer Pre-Burn Workshops this summer to foster community
connections and provide CC citizens with the resources and skills to contribute to the
Communal Effort to build a restorative and psychologically safe community. In addition, we
commit to offer Morning Circle Check-ins and 1:1 support at a designated spot around the Tea
Lounge. A Heart Squad Member will always be on duty – this person will signal openness and
availability to hold space by wearing a white sash.
Heart Squad (Emotional Support Team Pre-Burn Workshops)
Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself: Burning Man Edition
In this interactive and discussion-based workshop, participants will explore, identify, and discuss
stressors, triggers, and emotionally challenging events that arise during Burning Man. Through self- reflection, honest evaluation of coping mechanisms and behaviors, participants will leave with a Daily and Emergency Self-Care Plan for the Burn.
Virtually offered. Dates will be listed in the telegram group, stay tuned!

Building a Restorative and Psychologically Safe Community
In this interactive and discussion-based workshop, participants will learn about Restorative practices and Psychological Safety. Through group learning and self-reflection, you will understand how you can become more restorative and model behavior needed to promote a Psychologically Safe environment for all.
Restorative communities promote a positive and healthy culture by building, strengthening and (when harm occurs) repairing relationships through social-emotional learning, circle practice, and restorative dialogue. A Psychologically Safe Community accepts that conflict and disagreements are natural and do occur. Individuals model open hearts, active listening, and curiosity that leads to unlocking the best contribution and authentic expression of all.
Virtually offered. Dates will be listed in the telegram group, stay tuned!
