Welcome to the Northwest USA Community Fire Circle webpages 

The purpose of the Sacred Fire Community is to rekindle our relationship to each other and the world through the universal and sacred spirit of fire.

The Sacred Fire Community consists of individuals and small communities, called hamlets, spread across North America, Australia and Europe. Sacred fire circles are central to our tradition and many hamlets hold regular community fires.

 Our ancient ancestors lived in profound connection with all life. People were born into communities that provided rituals  and ceremonies to help them move through the transitions of life while maintaining a sense of their place in their society and a connection to the gods that created and sustained them.  The Sacred Fire Communities and the Lifeways programs are designed to help bring us back into harmony with ourselves and the world we inhabit. 
   

We hope this info is user-friendly. The Sacred Fire Circle Communities in Seattle, WA, Portland, OR and Central Oregon (Bend) are the primary users, but it is open for any who are interested in the community, and particularly if you're interested in attending a Fire Circle in any of these 3 communities. Please use the bar on the right to navigate info about the larger Sacred Fire Community, as well as the Northwest USA hamlets.

The Fire Keepers in Seattle, Portland and Central Oregon welcome you and hope you visit a Fire Circle soon, and become a member of the Community.

If you have further questions, or trouble navigating the site, please feel free to email me as host of the webpage.
