March 20 - Men's Fire 7:30 - 10:00 pm

Fire embodies the spirit of heart transcending all that divides us.

Men receive a lot when they gather together and connect authentically and vulnerably with other men. Firekeeper Patrick Hanaway facilitates the space creating an essential container for listening, sharing and support. We come together with respect, compassion, and honest exploration. Feel free to invite other men to join us.

• For practical reasons, we need each person coming to reserve a seat via Eventbrite.
• We are lifting all mask requirements while still welcoming you to wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.
• Seating is limited to 15 men.
• We have some blankets and back jacks on site but please bring what you need for your own comfort.
• Our fires are drug and alcohol - free - except for an occasional toast.

NOTE - Masks optional. We are expanding the number of seats available given this is an outdoor space and we can open the doors to the council house.
