Marion November Community Fire

🔥 ABOUT THIS GATHERING

Sacred Fire creates space to slow down and experience genuine community. No experience is necessary and all backgrounds and beliefs welcome.

Every fire is unique, based on those who attend and what arises that evening. Come with your questions, stories, songs, laughter, tears, presence, or silence. All are welcome.

You are given the opportunity to help open a special space through giving offerings to the fire, to facilitate a deeper connection and experience. Offerings will be provided, participation in this process is optional.

In the presence of community and the help of a sacred fire, we can:

• Slow down from the frenetic pace of our daily life
• Release stress & digest emotions
• Experience belonging and authentic connection
• Find clarity amid life's challenges
• Feel our shared humanity

❤️‍🔥 WHAT IS SACRED FIRE?

For millennia, people have gathered around fire for warmth, stories, and connection. When people needed extra support they would gather around a special fire - also known as a Sacred Fire.

This ancient practice and remedy for human beings is still available. Facilitated by trained Firekeepers who create safe space for personal and community transformation.

Throughout time, this method of connection has helped societies form wise and balanced cultures. As today's world grows increasingly complex, Sacred Fire offers everyone the opportunity to experience fire's benefits for healing and life improvement.

Sacred Fire offers a safe place where:

• We can be vulnerable with our doubts and fears, allowing burdens, concern, shock, grief, or anger to find relief
• Numbness transforms into well-being
• Joy and connection emerge
• You can be you
