Sacred Fire Asheville invites you to a celebration to honor your ancestors at the Sacred Fire Council House. Honoring the ancestors and receiving their wisdom has proven beneficial for human beings throughout time and generations. At this celebration, rooted in the Nahua tradition, you are invited to make a place setting on our communal altar for your deceased relatives as you would for an honored dinner guest. SEE PROTOCOL (which you will receive upon registration) for details.
After the altar is complete, we will gather for a specialty fire in the Council House. We will explore what we’re learning from our ancestors and the wisdom they have earned.
All are welcome to register for this specialty fire whether or not you choose to create a place setting on the altar.
We look forward to an evening of honoring those who have walked before us.
Seating limited to 35 people. Chairs provided.
Registration required.
This ceremony and celebration is led by Douglas Haynes, weather worker initiated in the Nahua tradition originating from the central Mexican Highlands along with Sacred Fire Asheville Firekeeper Patrick Hanaway and Community member Alison Arnold.
