Maybe, in the twilight, meet yourself...
Events
Gathering in person has never been more important. Ancient information, big skies, getting beyond the digital malaise.

Come and find out what we mean by 'oral tradition'.

Where do you ask unanswerable questions? When did you last hear your heart?
Every route and campfire guided by Recalling Fire sounds out the kinds of openness and curiosity left behind in our modern world: invitations to pause, feel and think carefully about the route we are on – as individuals, communities and a species.
We can close in and let the flames do the work for us. We can work in the boundary lines of your place. Or we can step out. All the way out...

The shape of our events
Evening firesides and weekend gatherings throughout the seasons. Sit and we'll honour the old ways. We have time for this...
PART 1: Threshold Gatherings. Fireside gatherings introducing you to old words and old ways. Approximately 2-3 hours.
PART 2: Outland Overnights. Dawn 'til dusk experiences for those seeking more depth. 2-3 days.
PART 3: Into The Understory. The burning heart of Recalling Fire, deeply resourced rituals and extended time in nature. Small groups. 4 days.
For first news, sign up to the newsletter at the bottom of the page.
Into The Understory
Everything leads to this. Small groups. Camping, trekking and wondering at the crossroads.
Forest, moors and firesides: 4 days.
This is the full sense of Recalling Fire.
Fall into the forest. Not just to experience the resin scent of the pine and the woodpecker’s rattle, but to steep in story, to come back to your body and your breath and your voice.
This is a chance to disassociate with the tensions and all the things building up in your close relationships – with parents, lovers, colleagues, friends – to ‘be’ in a different way.
The land is available to us. Our fires are lying dormant in the dry wood of fallen branches. The wisdom of our forebears waits for us in the pages and the songs.
We will need time. We will need night and day. We will need whatever the clouds and stars and the riverbanks give us. We will need to listen to the land.
Limited spaces. Sign up to receive news of availaiblity.
We'll pull up water from the streams and sit until the fire burns low.
