In addition to rekindling the old ways, we embrace new approaches to living close to the earth which are in harmony with the old ways. With nature as our classroom, we sing, tell stories around the fire, play games, and learn from our passionate and skilled instructors. Days are filled with activities and workshops, while each evening different events are offered. Amid the grounding rhythm of village life there is plenty of time to connect with one another, and for solitude.
Throughout the week, delicious and organic food is served, simple earth-based ceremonies are held, and friendships are created and renewed. Awareness on another level is sparked, inspiring us to use skills we’ve learned at Firemaker to live simpler, more sustainable lives. We sleep nestled between the trees, to the sound of the river, and we come to know a new rhythm.
Firemaker is an opportunity to connect – to your wild self, to friends waiting to be found, to nature… to our ancestors and the old ways, to a way of being that is not lost.
Welcome to our community!
