Day 1 - Fire Ceremony: Gratitude for the Lessons

  • Rootstock Retreat 1429 Beach Hill Road, Apt, Suite, Bldg. (optional) West Glover United States (map)
 
 

The Transformation Fire is our way to celebrate our existence, our growth, our accomplishments and our desire to keep unfolding. This 100 hour fire is tended by members of our community and open to the prayers, wishes, pain, blessings, hope, confusion and magic of any and all who come to sit with it. This co-created 5 day ceremony is a way to make peace with what was, to celebrate what is and to call in what we want for the year ahead.

The first night of the fire will be dedicated to gratitude. Gratitude for the many lessons, the unexpected gifts, the surprises and curious delights that laid hidden in the dark days of this very intense pandemic and utterly strange year. Participants are encouraged to meditate on what gifts they’ve received and what gifts they’ve shared and come prepare to offer gratitude.
