  • 3:15-4:45 PM - Kindling the Fire: Creating Ritual Together with Jay Thomas - Yard
    We'll come together to design and prepare a shared ritual bonfire. As we set up the fire circle, gather natural elements, and choose the flow of the ceremony, we'll explore what goes into creating meaningful ritual, from honoring ancestors to setting intentions for personal transformation. This is a hands-on experience where you'll learn how to craft a ritual by doing it with others, shaping the space, the symbols, and the structure together. Whether you're new to ritual or bring your own wisdom, your presence will help form the heart of our circle. The ceremony we create here will take place later tonight as we gather under the stars around the fire we've built together.
