Fire holds us in so many ways.
Our attention. Our emotions. The food simmered and roasted so we may fill our bellies. The water boiled for tea, and the warmth we feel when our hands wrap around a freshly poured mug.
It also holds community, that's what I believe.
The magic in the flickering light and the crackle that soothes the gaps of silence so that we feel no need to fill them.
For someone who puts their whole heart into deepening relationships with the "real" world, it's been fascinating to venture into the depth of the virtual world. Not a replacement by any means, but a tether - to people and places I've known or wish to know.
That's why I created the Community Fire.
A virtual gathering space for community and connection. It's my way to nurture an international community away from mainstream social media networks. Because I need that and I know some of you do too.
For those who feel isolated in this work, you are not alone. And for those who don't, know you can provide support for those who do.
Come take your space by the fire.

PAY IT FORWARD (and receive a gift)
This supports my Pay What You Can Policy for everything I offer because I believe everyone deserves access to learning. In return, I would love to offer a thank you gift of access to the e-Book version of my much loved book, creatively called Forest Schooled, The Book.
