Community Fire

A Profound Opportunity for Connection & Transformation!

Join us around the fire! This is a safe place for people from all backgrounds and traditions (or no tradition) to come together, connect, and share what is important in your life. As we do so, we find that worries and anxieties drop away. Challenges become less burdensome. We feel lighter with a new sense of possibility for our lives. There is room for more gratitude, joy, and meaning. These are the gifts of sacred fire!

Background:

Humans have been gathering around the fire for at least 800,000 years. Our earliest ancestors did so for light, warmth, and protection, but they also recognized Fire as a spiritual presence that helped them feel connected to each other and the great mysterious world around them. Fire was the orginal center: The place where people gathered to share stories about their daily lives and also the great sacred stories about how to live in a good way.

Today, Fire is associated with 'heart' or that capacity we have to feel connected to our emotions, each other, and the world around us.

Your Host:

The event is facilitated by a trained and initiated Firekeeper who has been holding events like this for almost 20 years. Your host is one of five dozen Firekeepers in six countries (the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Colombia, the U.K. and Australia) under the auspices of the organization Sacred Fire.

Info: Sherry Boatright has made Carrollton her home since she came for graduate study at West Georgia College (now UWG) in 1978 and earned a master’s degree in psychology. She was later licensed and practiced as a psychotherapist for 30 years. In 1999 she answered a calling to an indigenous spiritual path and was initiated in the Nahua tradition of the highlands of central Mexico. This living tradition works to “call the rains” and mitigate storms during the agricultural season. Sherry was also initiated and trained to offer Nahua traditional shamanic healing (tepahtiani). She was initiated as a Firekeeper in 2004 and has held monthly community fires in Carrollton since that time.
