Community fires happen monthly
in cities and towns just like yours
all over the world
In our fast-paced world, aging is often seen as slowing down, but it can be a time of gaining a meaningful role within the community. The Mayan Indigenous template values the elderly as essential keepers of spiritual tradition and guides for younger generations. Moving with gratitude, embodied elders can take responsibility for their people and offer service to sustain and encourage.
Join Mayan lineage-holder Tat Erick Gonzalez on Sunday, May 19, 2024 at 2 pm EST, to explore how we can embody our purpose throughout every stage of life, particularly in Elderhood.
This event invites community members to learn from indigenous wisdom that enriches our understanding and integrates valuable insights into our daily lives. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with ancient traditions that teach us to honor and utilize the unique gifts of every life phase.
Featuring
-
Sacred Fires are hosted by Firekeepers who are trained, initiated, and receive continuing education in how to host and facilitate community fires. Firekeepers learn the ancient principles of Fire Work—a particular way to “hold space” and work with Fire’s powers of illumination and transformation—to bring about healing through deeper connections and relationships with oneself, community, and the sacred living world around us.
Registration
Most Firekeepers do not require advanced registration to attend a community fire. Others require an RSVP or registration via Eventbrite or MeetUp. Online fires do require pre-registration with Zoom. Visit our Find Your Fire page and contact a local firekeeper to learn more.
Schedule
Some community fires begin with potlucks, others do not. Some community fires have early hours for young families, others do not. Some fires have set times to end the evening. Others are more open-ended. Each fire is unique. Visit our Find Your Fire page and contact a local firekeeper to learn more.
Price
There is no charge to attend a community fire. However, donations offered as a token of exchange for the benefits received around the fire are very appreciated. Firekeepers voluntarily take on the life-long commitment of preparing and holding space for others because they’ve found the medicine of Fire to be a powerful antidote to many of the spiritual, social and emotional challenges in the world. Your generosity helps fuel everyone’s Fire.
