Description

As human beings, we long for connection. We need a sense of belonging, of meaning and purpose in order to thrive. Without these things we can drift into despair and life can feel too difficult to navigate. We need a safe space to express our emotions: the fear, the anger, the grief, the joys and victories in our lives, small and large. Our gratitude for waking with the new day, a kindness shown to us, or perhaps respite from a heavy burden. We need a place to be witnessed and to bear witness. And we need a place where we can experience resilience and find some peace in our hearts so that we can return to our homes, our relationships, our jobs, and our communities renewed... filled with hope and purpose. Sitting in the presence of Sacred Fire rekindles that spark within us. It deepens our connection with Divine regardless of our spiritual/ faith tradition. We invite you to experience this powerful medicine. Please arrive at 5:30 PM to prepare our Hearth. We invite you to participate by stacking wood, gathering kindling, arranging chairs, etc. Fire begins at 6 PM. In order to create and maintain a respectful space for those attending, we can't accommodate late arrivals. Thank you for honoring this request. PRE-REGISTRATION THROUGH EVENTBRITE REQUIRED As a courtesy to those on the waitlist, if you need to cancel your seat, PLEASE DO SO NO LATER THAN 24 HOURS BEFORE THE FIRE. If you have difficulty navigating Eventbrite's cancelation steps, please text me: 828-712-2678 and I will do that for you. It can be a bit confusing;-) Thank you!! BE SURE YOU RESERVE THE NUMBER OF SEATS YOU NEED. SO IF YOU ARE BRINGING A GUEST, PLEASE REQUEST A RESERVATION FOR TWO SEATS. Our Community is blessed with a gorgeous Hearth so we can hold events RAIN OR SHINE. A beautiful creek runs close by and we can hear her song as we sit by the fire! Please help us keep the Fires burning!

If you are experiencing any Covid symptoms, or have been exposed to anyone with Covid within 10 days preceding the fire, please do not attend and cancel your reservation via Eventbrite so your seat can be filled from the waitlist if we have one.

Thanks so much for helping us to connect and yet be mindful of one another's well-being during this time. We could no longer cover the cost of having a portapotty, now $123/ month! So please plan on using the facilites before you arrive. If you need to come into the house to use the bathroom, I require a KN-95 mask worn at all times in the house to protect the health of the highly immune compromised patients that I see in my home. Thanks for helping out with this!!!
