Greetings to the Friends and Family of Fire

We are thrilled to announce the birth of a new event, Wisteria Summer Solstice, which will be blossoming June 14 - 21st, 2009 near Athens, Ohio!

The theme this year is "Manifesting A Magical Village: Celebrating The Summer Solstice 2009." Wisteria will blend the Earth-loving, Magical, and Fantastic for seven days of blissful entertainment, camping, celebration, awareness, and eco-education. The good people who own the land have engaged Starhawk to be their special guest, and they've asked us to come and facilitate the three-night Alchemifire Ritual as the "jewel in the crown" of their Solstice gathering.

The sparks are spreading, and we are enthusiastically fanning the flames!

Together, we will journey from darkness to dawn in a three night progressive rite of transformation. This co-created event utilizes Universal ritual technology to inspire personal growth and social harmony through an unprecedented ordeal of creativity. This is the cutting edge of improvisational artistic deep play. Don't miss this safe, drug and alcohol free opportunity to bring heaven to earth as we move together through three nights of love and mystery...

Those of you who have not shared circle with us for a time might be interested in reading "The Evolution of the Alchemical Fire Circle" at http://vegasvortex.com/pages/evolutionfirecircle to gain a better understanding of the unique medicine we are brewing.

We wholeheartedly invite you to come and join us for a fun-filled week of drum, dance, music, art and magic in an incredibly beautiful place....

The Pyromantics...

...a fellowship of four friends drawn together by a shared vision of loving creative harmony. Abigail, Michael, Jeff, and Joshua have devoted more than a decade to exploring techniques for creating semi-improvisational experiences that empower large groups of people to inspire, nurture, and discover each other in the moment. Drawing upon a wealth of experience in diverse fields, the Pyromantics have applied their gifts to the creation and refinement of the Alchemifire Ritual. The result is a unique, cutting edge contribution to the field of human growth and potential. Grounded in cross-cultural archetypes of ceremony, and built around the inclusive, non-denominational metaphor of alchemical transformation, their work awakens, joins, strengthens, and refines, in a festive ordeal of music, poetry, dance, and art. Offering these experiences around the country for no more than the cost of production, the Pyromantics are true to their name - lovers of the fire that dwells within and without, illuminating the way from the sun to the soul and beyond.
