Sacred Fire Circle

We invite and welcome friends from all traditions and paths to join us for Sacred Fire Circle in Paradise! Sacred Fire Circle in Paradise is a fully participatory event for adults over age 18, co-created by making the commitment to the Circle, to other Participants, and offering contributions of service.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Western Wisconsin, we come together beside the flowing waters to experience Sacred Ceremony as we drum, dance, chant, trance, offer service, and connect with one another around the Sacred Fire each night from midnight to dawn. Together we will create a space for personal transformation, to manifest your dreams and prayers, to provide an alchemical vessel in which each of us can turn our internal lead to gold. Our practice is to mindfully engage with each other as a way to discover more about ourselves, our relationships, and our own highest vision.

The work of the Sacred Fire Circle in Paradise centers around the energy of Fire: a path back to one's own heart memory and life purpose. Ritual helps us to re-discover the ancient wisdom that connects us to each other and the land around us.

Transformation Ritual

Participants bring their own life path and their gift to the moment to the Sacred Fire Circle. The profound nature of transformation is individual.

Our event is often called an “Alchemical Fire Circle”. Alchemy is the ancient search to create “gold” by applying heat and pressure. In alchemy, the Magnum Opus or Great Work is a term for the process of working with base material to create the philosopher's stone. More...

Core Principles

Our core principles include service, engagement, being in the moment, silence, self examination and shared responsibilities. More...

I have a sneaking suspicion the work we do there might just be only the beginning of the alchemical transformation work in our lives.

I don't believe I've had that kind of focus for 20 yrs. or more, with extraneous thoughts and worries about the world removed to some distance.

It was, by far, the best transformative group experience I have ever had.

Our Agreements

At the Gateway to the Sacred Fire Circle in Paradise, we may smudge one another or ourselves with sage smoke, or asperge, as a purification rite. All are invited in to breathe, ground, center, and become aware that we are entering Sacred Space each time we step through the Gate. More...

Chants & Songs

Singing and chanting raises energy and creates magic. Each year we share songs and learn new ones. You can prepare by familiarizing yourself with some of our favorites. More...
