Help the HeeBeeGeeBee Healers help others!

Appreciate the healing arts? Want to help them be available to more people this year? Then read on.

The HeeBeeGeeBee Healers are getting all revved up to get our healing space together and out to the playa. This year we've added another healing tent (bringing us to 3 tents and a total of over 6000 square feet of carpeted healing space), as well as a separate classroom structure. This will allow us to handle even more people and keep the healing sessions going even during classes like our popular daily morning yoga session.

Nevertheless, we need your help. While we do our best to provide a safe, healing oasis for everyone, there are always more people in need than we can handle alone, and there are always a few things we can never seem to bring enough of: healers, massage tables, sheets, and lotion.

If you are a trained healer and would be interested in volunteering your skills for a few hours, please feel free to come by and pitch in. We love our guest healers, and whether you're a massage therapist, chirpractor, acupuncturist, Rolfer, energy worker, or some other specialty, we're sure to keep you busy.

If you have a massage table in good condition you can bring out to the event and loan us, we'd love to borrow it, whether it's just for a day or for the whole week. We bring out as many as we can get our hands on, but with all the guest healers we sometimes run short.

If you have clean sheets or pillowcases you're willing to donate to the cause, we can make good use of them as well. Flat twin sheets and regular pillowcases are best, but we're not picky -- if it's clean, we'll use it!

Finally, if you find yourself with extra massage lotion (or tools) we can use that as well. In addition to keeping our professional healers supplied, we try to keep an ample supply in the community part of the healing tent so that our guests can work on each other.

If by chance you don't have any of those things, then just bring yourself on over to our community healing space. Sign up for a session with one of our professional healers, learn to massage each other, or just relax for a while in a cool, shady space.

We're to be found in the Infinite Oasis village again this year. Hope to see you there!

Yo Papa Bear..I volunteered 3 days last year as a massage therapist and would like to do the same this year. Thanks for the wonderful service you folks provide!

What can I ever say.

I shall volunteer as well. PM sent.

Be Well Everyone

Iso, what you've said says plenty. Unless you're trying to make me blush?

Badger, no need to say a thing. That's what we're there for.

Cowboyangel and Iliana, thanks to you both for volunteering again this year. Can't wait to see you.

You guys were about 100 yards from my camp last year, and I just wanted to add in the thanks. I threw my back out a bit participating in some questionable activities on Tuesday night, and thought I was gonna be stuck only traveling by art car for the rest of the burn. One of the guys in my camp literally picked me up and carried me over to Heebeegeebees, I got some excellent massage therapy, and was slightly sore but fully functional for the rest of the burn.

My experience would have been so much less if it weren't for you guys. You saved me from being stuck at homecamp writhing in pain. Words cannot express my graditude. I'll definitely be dropping by again this year, with plenty of massage oils to donate.

I'd be happy to bring some kind of either massage lotion or oil to donate. Living with a massage therapist I know how indispensible qualified people can be and how much they can actually fix that people never give them credit for.

Thanks all. That will be a big help.

FYI, aside from guest healers and tables, the thing we can use the most is extra sheets (and pillowcases for the face cradles). Last year we had a dozen or so tables occupied full-time the entire week, and I'll be surprised if we don't have more this year. Every extra sheet we can lay our hands on (whether it be from the thrift store or the dark recesses of your linen closet) is one less we'll have to reuse later in the week.

Of course, if someone would care to invent a playa laundry that could wash them for us each night...

(I know, I know... a guy can dream, can't he?)

I can probably rustle up some sheets and pillowcases. I know my guy uses all the ones he has, but we might have some extra pillowcases laying around. I'll see what I can find for ya.

I've had excellent success with sheet donations from hospitals....

Thanks, Selkie. If you'd like, I can put you in touch with the Colorado HeeBees and save you packing them out to the playa yourself.

Thanks for the tip. We're sufficiently spread out that we should be able to hit up plenty of different hospitals.

We <heart> you too.

Just to update now that the placements are out: The HeeBees are to be found in the Infinite Oasis village, at Earth and 4:30.

Very close to where we were last year, for those of you who visited us then.
