Healers Feel drawn to the ministry of healing? Want to share it with others?
This affinity group will meet to share information, techniques and support on
doing healing work with others, and how that applies to the fire circle and beyond.
Participants will have the opportunity to put this knowledge to work at the nightly
fire circles. This affinity group is for all experience levels, though space will
be limited. Dana- Dancers Tree & Jason- TaKeTiNa
Billy Bardo- Alchemical Gold Joshua Levin- Sacred
Arts Carl Bridge- Artists Just as the spider weaves
in the spaces "between," we will weave our creative art into the structure
of our circle. We will use the web of a mandala to draw magic into our ritual.
Miguel Flamini--Third Shift Affinity Group The circle is
a living ritual that breathes and grows on its own accord offering powerful mystical
experiences to those who surrender to its will. Whether your path is through music,
dance, or tending fire, come and share your experiences of this divine connection.

PLAYSHOP: Raising the Fire Circle- Spinner &
Magnus We are, we can, we will, we do... Conjuring
a sacred temple, built not of stone, but of mind and magick. Come join us as we
erect the fire circle shrine, our sacred container for the alchemical great work.
In this ritual transmission, we will teach you the art and science of the mysteries
encrypted in the UniFire. Work is Love made visible. Both physical and magickal
energy is crucial as we create our container. We will don our hermetic hard hats
and become the cosmic construction team that will build and sustain the Alchemical
Fire Circle.
2-4pm
PLAYSHOP: Atlas Drumming-- Michael Wall Bass Drum
Foundations Dunduns and other low pitched drums are the solid foundation supporting
the heavenly dance. The shared creation of bass drum melodies at the fire circle
generates a strong energetic and melodic field within others can experience trance.
Being in this joyful place of service to the community is also an ecstatic portal
to your own transformation! Approaches for all skill levels toward creating and
playing the power pulse of the fire circle. Rhythmic archetypes, injury free technique,
multiple modalities and potent presence! Please bring two drum sticks, bass or
cow skin headed drums and a willingness to play more spaces than places. Shaker,
bell and clave players are welcome to join in! 2-4pm
PLAYSHOP: Co-Creational Art-- Carl
Bridge Integrating individual visions within shared
intention. In this workshop we will explore the power of symbols, and how we can
open ourselves to the ideas of others and truly work together. By use of visual
images we will strive to create a point (or points) of focus for rituals.
2-4pm PLAYSHOP:
The Inner Mysteries-- Kenn Deigh An experiential
playshop designed to open us to the mysteries we hold within us, through movement,
ritual exchange of energy, spirits and as little talking as possible. Come prepared
for anything from gentle prodding to major transformation. 2-4pm
PLAYSHOP: Dana Rudikoff-- Weaving the
Thread of Dance When we gather around the fire circle,
we connect with each other on many different levels and in many different ways.
Dance is one of the tools we can use to explore and transform the energy of the
circle. In this playshop, we will focus on the fundamentals of movement, sourcing
the inner impulse to express ourselves and relating this to the interactive process
of connecting with others. This playshop open to anyone who has a body and wants
to feel a greater sense of ease with the modality of dance. Those who feel disconnected
from or uncomfortable in their bodies are especially welcome to participate.

PLAYSHOP: TaKeTiNa -- Marcus Sims & Jason Walker
Together we will: * take a musical and moving
journey to inner silence align ourselves with the rhythmic laws of the Universe
* experience our connection to each other without words € * awaken
ancestral memories of tribal life singing and dancing * transform patterns
which inhibit our lives € * revitalize our own nervous systems €
* walk in two worlds at the same time By working directly in our bodies
and not just in our heads, deep learning occurs, and learning about rhythm becomes
learning about life. For anyone who enjoys expanding their awareness and aliveness,
Ta Ke Ti Na is rhythm for evolution. 2-4pm
PLAYSHOP: Ribbon Dancing-- Penny Goody 2-4pm
PLAYSHOP: Fire Choir -- Jason Cohen The
fire choir will explore vocal magic inside and outside the sacred fire circle.
With our voices we will work and play with the powers of creation and healing.
While recognizing silence and working with honoring space and honing listening
skills, we will get out of the way and let the sacred flow come through us. We
will listen for softer voices within the fire circle, and will support one another's
offerings. One who wishes to be initiated into the fire choir is one who wishes
to attain balance between giving and receiving, listening and expressing, and
the feminine and masculine divine energies. If there is a chant you would like
to share and teach, please bring it along. All levels of experience are welcome.
2-4pm PLAYSHOP:
Spoken Word and the Bard at Work Around the Fire-- Meredith
Davis Have you ever wanted to feel more comfortable speaking in front of
a group? Bring your words or any that inspire you, either on paper or in your
memory banks. Here we will workshop the art of delivering spoken word performance
both on stage and around the fire. Wear loose comfortable clothing; we're going
to warm up with a little movement and vocalization. Let's explore the compliments
and contrasts of the skills of the poet-performer and the bard at the fire.
