Community Fire Gathering

Come sit around the Sacred Fire

WHEN:

Monthly (usually the first Saturday of the month)

WHERE:

Blue Deer Center, Margaretville, New York

TUITION:

Donation-based.

Community fires offer a welcoming place for everyone to be who we are—human beings with concerns, inspirations, passions and life challenges. This monthly gathering will use time-honored principles of Fire Work—to expand and enrich our connections, relationships and healing through Fire. Coming together in this way is an ancient “alternative medicine” that opens an opportunity for personal, community and global transformation.

Please let us know if you have any questions about this program.

Fires are held monthly, usually on the first Saturday of the month.  Click on the RSVP button to see the schedule of upcoming fires.


Start time is 6:30 PM.


Bring your laughter and tears, your songs, poems, and stories. Bring a flashlight—it gets dark at night! No need to bring chairs, we’ve got plenty.


Our fires are sponsored by Sacred Fire (www.sacredfire.org) and are one of many fires being lit across the world. The intention is to create more opportunities for heart-felt connection and transformation.


In support of Community Fires at Blue Deer we are offering a discounted rate for overnight stays at the center for fire gatherings. Camping options are also available. Click here for more information and to reserve lodging.



Blue Deer Center


1155 County Highway 6, Margaretville, NY 12455


Nestled in the Catskill Mountains on ninety three acres of land and forest, the Blue Deer Center is embraced by “Saskawhihiwine,” the river of peace. This land has been known for millennia as a place where conflict is resolved and illness gives way to balance. Blessed things happen here that cannot happen even a short distance away, for this sacred place offers unique spiritual medicine that supports your transformation.


* All of our programs are made possible by the generosity of our donors and volunteers.
