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 natural cycles of life while maintaining their place in the world and a connection to the gods that created and sustained them.
The Sacred Fire Community’s Lifeways programs are recreating a cycle of sustenance, a way of moving through the stages of life in harmony with ourselves, our communities, and the rhythm of life. From our birthing council, initiation rituals for young people, and retreats for adults, to our death and dying council and prayer and transitions workshops, Lifeways experiences nurture participants full circle — from the beginning of life to the very end — and are an integral part of maintaining life in this world. Guided by specifically trained and gifted community leaders and elders, participants discover the wisdom of their hearts, refresh their direction in life, and deepen connections to community and Divine.
