Monthly Community Fires, Men's Fires and Women's Fires at the BDC With Dan Sprinkles and Annie Eagan
Flickering firelight, the smell of smoke, the sound of laughter, songs and stories...People have been sitting around the fire for hundreds of thousands of years. The fire provides protection, warmth and a place for us to connect with one another and share our common human experience. At the heart of the Blue Deer Center is the fire - the fire of our hearts, the fire of transformation, and the fire burning at the core of all ancestral traditions. Dan Sprinkles and Annie Eagan, our resident shamans, both initiated Fire Keepers of the Sacred Fire Community, offer monthly community sacred fires, adjacent to the grounds of the Center (follow directions to the Center), at their nearby home, usually on the 3rd Friday of the month, and all are welcome. Potluck suppers often precede the fire when we share good food and good company with new friends and old. Dan and Annie also host men's and women's fires frequently.

In lieu of our Community Fire for October, we will be hosting our annual Harvest Festival with Temezcal on the weekend of October 8th and 9th. We will be offering a Temezcal (sweat lodge in the Nahua tradition) on Saturday, October 8th. And the Harvest Festival will be on Sunday, October 9th followed by a Specialty Fire afterwards. We’ll send out more details in September.
On October 14th, there will be a Women’s Fire at Claire’s hearth near Boiceville.
On November 11th, there will be a Women’s Fire at our new home on 90 Smith Road, just past the BDC.
And our normal Community Fire will resume at our new home on November 18th.
So, I hope that helps you plan your calendar. We hope to see you in October for the Harvest Festival.
Take care,
Annie & Dan
