2024 Burning Man Decompression Party San Francisco, California

Unpacking not only dusty gear and boxes, but experiences. The work of processing your Burning Man experience and embodying the ups and downs of your personal decompression can be hard work. For some, returning to daily routines and responsibilities may come easily; others may experience waves of disorientation and flashbacks to life in Black Rock City. If you're missing the dust, there are a myriad of ways to connect with fellow Burners this fall! [from burning man website]
