- **Event Description**: The world's oldest medicine is gathering around a sacred fire! A chance for people to meet, connect, and share in a space that transforms.About this EventA Profound Opportunity for Connection &amp; 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!Separate Men's &amp; Women's Fires Offered Simultaneously:In addition to our mixed community fires (usually the 3rd Saturday of each month), we offer monthly women's and men's fires. Sometimes folks are more comfortable sharing in the company of others of the same gender–or as the Aboriginal people of Australia say, discussing "women's business" or "men's business." Sacred Fire of Carrollton offers these different types of fire gatherings to cover a fuller spectrum of heart-felt need.The Women's Fire will take place in our Council House (Dinilawigi Atsilvu  or Place Where the Council Fres are Held in the traditional Tsalagi/Cherokee language). Once you come to turn into the 142 Hamp Chappell Road driveway, head straight down the hill and park just after the gravel drive turns left. Park, then walk down one flight of stairs past the main house, then down a second flight to the Council House–which will be to your right.The Men's Fire will take place at the Loblolly Retreat Center–the large structure to your right just after you enter our driveway. We will meet on the patio on the opposite side of the building from the street. If you want to join us for hot soup, come at 6:00 pm and bring something to share (bread, chips, cheese, dip, etc.) with others. Check-in around the fire will begin promptly at 6:30 pm.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 Hosts:The event is facilitated by trained and initiated Firekeepers who have been holding events like this for almost 20 years. They are part of a group of nearly six dozen Firekeepers in six countries (the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Colombia, the U.K. and Australia) under the auspices of the organization Sacred Fire.https://vimeo.com/432578296Agenda?: 06:30 PM - 09:30 PMYour Initiated FirekeepersHost: Sherry Boatright-Women's FirekeeperInfo: 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.
