Join the Living Fire Gathering
29-31 Aug 2025
The first annual in-person gathering of the Living Fire Collective !
Location: 'Wasing Estate, Berkshire, UK"
An intimate gathering for experienced firekeepers, fire-enthusiasts and friends and families seeking to nourish and deepen their relationship with the Sacred Fire.
This is an alcohol and drug-free event
Come and contribute to grow this community!
Building on the work co-created around Sacred Fire over the past few years, a trio of friends and colleagues Francesco Benvenuti, Eloise Minton and Thomas Peto have established The Living Fire Collective.
🐝 This gathering will stand as an inaugural launch of this community 🔥

What to expect & how we work
The Gathering will be a powerful opportunity to come together and strengthen our emerging community around the Sacred Fire, as we:
🔥 Explore the role of Firekeeping as a tool for spiritual connection, social change, and cultural repair
🌾 Share knowledge, practical Firekeeping skills & connective fireside tools — including practices, music, and creative expression — learning from and with one another in a collaborative, inspiring, and nurturing space
🌳 Celebrate & Deepen our connections — gathering in service to the web of life and future generations
🪵 Cultivate a personal connection with Fire, deepening our understanding and relationship with its essence
🌕 Strengthen the collective bond with Fire as a guiding and unifying force in our lives
🔁 Recognise Fire as a transformative technology — a source of ancient wisdom, renewal, and hope
