About this Event

FOR OUR ANCESTORS, fire was the center of community, where stories were told, community issues were resolved, and people came to refocus, renew and process the events of their lives.

Welcome to Sacred Fire East Tennessee. I am part of a growing network of trained and initiated Firekeepers bringing back a process to help remove emotional blocks creating better connections within ourselves, others and the world through Fire and Spirit. We are participating in the oldest known form of human support and connection through coming together and receiving spiritual help from the presence of a Sacred Fire.

The Offerings: We open the Fire with a brief ceremony, one we've been given ancestral permission to use, is a form of exchange with the Spirit of Fire and honors the five directions. Once the offerings are given to the Fire, it is considered a consecrated Fire. The offerings help create a safe and sacred space for meeting and sharing, for opening our hearts to one another. Giving offerings to the Fire is optional for anyone who attends. The offerings are a personal way to honor the evening's experience, to deepen our connection to one another and give thanks for the heart energy of Fire.

RSVP is required to attend this event.
