2024 Firemaking Weekend

March 23-24th

Boozhoo - Here we are with the second offering of the year. I tell you truly that this has been a huge challenge for me trying to get these notices out. Yesterday was so wet and now we have a creek running down our driveway. The thing that has made it so difficult is that our internet does not really work in damp weather. I love living out in the boonies but it does make communicating a little more difficult but I do need to let you all know what is going on this year and hopefully you can join us for a few of these events.

This is a class that is dear to my heart. I actually proposed to David after I watched him make fire the first time. The words just forced themselves out of my mouth and I said, “I know that you and I are in relationships with others right now but if that ever changes in the future I would love to marry you.” This utterance of mine totally undid me. Dave asked if I wanted to go for a walk and in the middle of the dark evening I walked out into the Greenbrier River and sat down and refused to come out again. Well, obviously I did not stay in the river and our lives changed and we did marry each other. This annecdote is just to let you know the power of this elemental force - fire. It causes sparks and will bring people together.

I hope that some of you will have your interest “kindled” and will come out to play with us in the woods and form deeper relationships yourselves with the magic of fire.
