August 28 - September 1, 2025
at Circle Sanctuary Nature Preserve
near Barneveld WI

Come join us for three nights of sacred ceremony and community as we dance beneath the stars, sing, serve one another and bear witness to each other's truths! 

Sacred Fire Circle is a transformative communal ritual rooted in alchemical principles and co-created trance.  This weekend of ceremony is a physically, emotionally, and spiritually intense rite, which brings deep transformation to all who participate.  

Using the portals of Voice, Music, Movement and Service, we engage in ritual together with the intention to release painful patterns and energies, gain access to our deep wells of creativity, and find personal transformation.  For three nights, from midnight to dawn, we use these portals and our collective support to create deep change.  In the space of the sacred fire, we slowly burn away what no longer serves, purify our hearts and spirits, and celebrate the beauty of our collective transformation. 

All who participate in Sacred Fire Circle have equal ownership of the ritual and each person brings their unique energy that will help hold our ritual container.  As such, we invite you to join us as we prepare and maintain our space; whether through joining the Early Village Building where we lay the structure and groundwork for the whole weekend, by adding your own adornment and support to our spaces of healing, meditation, and nurturance, by bringing your devotional energy to your assigned Docent groups, and/or by helping make each night's ritual.  As we do the physical work together, we build bonds of community, friendship, and mutual understanding which allow us greater trust and freedom for the spiritual work within the ritual Fire Circle. 

We invite and welcome friends from all traditions and paths to join us for this Sacred Fire Circle weekend.  Songs, rhythms, poetry, dance or simply a hand to hold - your gifts are welcome here!

While the weekend of ceremony can be physically and internally intense, it is through the challenge of this Fire that we truly transform.

Together we create a container for your personal transformation, to manifest your dreams and prayers, to turn your lead to gold. 

Meals:

All meals are provided as part of the registration fee.  We cannot meet individual dietary requests but do offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dietary choices.  There is an option to provide your own food, however there is no storage available for personal food. Please be prepared to store your food at your campsite in critter proof containers, with enough ice to last the weekend. It's expected that everyone gather at the picnic tables for lunch and supper, as we use this time for announcements and share community.

The Schedule:

Early Village Building (EVB) will begin on Thursday morning.  This is an additional sign up and fee if you choose to be a part of building our magical container.  

Registration is for the full event only which is Friday - Monday.  Your meal plan starts with the evening meal on Friday.  Everyone should be on site by 7pm on Friday.

After lunch there will be workshops in the afternoon you may choose to attend, as well as meetings with your docent group and completing your contribution of service to the Gathering.
