Special Fire
The gathering on Saturday begins with a potluck lunch with the elders. Following our meal, we’ll sit by the fire, and each elder will speak in turn, offering the wisdom that they see is needed in that moment. The evening ends at seven, and the elders will return to their homes the next morning.
On Sunday evening, attendees will reconvene around the fire before sunset. Everyone is invited to join in a simple ceremony to honor the fire with offerings to create a ritual space to hold the evening’s reflection and conversation. The offering substances will be provided. Your firekeepers will be Sharon and Peter Brown, initiated fire keepers who will tend the fire and who are skilled facilitators for group discussions. This is an opportunity for everyone to share what is stirring inside after listening to the elders. Sitting around a sacred fire helps uncover our deeper connections, emotions, and heart’s knowing. Our time together closes at 9:30 pm.
Registration is now available online for this event:
- $35.00 – General Admission.
