Sacred Fire Community Corporation

A 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES TO CULTIVATE COMMUNITY AND INDIVIDUAL SPIRITUAL ENRICHMENT, GROWTH, HEALING, AND LEARNING. DURING THE COURSE OF 2021, THE SFCC HELD MULTIPLE EVENTS AND TRAININGS IN OUR KEY AREAS OF FIREKEEPING, LIFEWAYS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS. DUE TO THE CONTINUING CHALLENGE OF THE COVID PANDEMIC, MANY OF THESE WERE VIRTUAL EVENTS, BUT WHERE LOCAL REGULATIONS PERMITTED, SOME WERE IN-PERSON. RELATED TO FIREKEEPING, THERE WAS ONE IN-PERSON TRAINING ATTENDED BY 14 FIREKEEPERS IN THE U.S. AND VIRTUAL GATHERINGS HELD IN AUSTRALIA AND THE U.K. THAT PROVIDED CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR EXISTING FIREKEEPERS AND THESE WERE SUPPLEMENTED BY A SERIES OF WEBINARS. WE HAD 62 ACTIVE FIREKEEPERS AROUND THE WORLD-IN AUSTRALIA, CANADA, COLOMBIA, MEXICO, ENGLAND, GREECE, IRELAND, SCOTLAND, AND WALES AS WELL AS VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN THE U.S. ALL OF OUR FIREKEEPERS BEGAN TRANSITIONING FROM VIRTUAL GATHERINGS TO IN-PERSON FIRES. OVER 4,800 PEOPLE ATTENDED OUR VARIOUS FIRES IN 2021. IN THE AREA OF LIFEWAYS, WE HELD TEN ON-LINE PROGRAMS THAT INCLUDED NEARLY 412 REGISTRANTS FROM ALL OF THE COUNTRIES THAT WE SERVE AND PROVIDED MUCH- NEEDED WISDOM AT A TIME OF INCREASING ISOLATION AND TURMOIL. WITH STRICT SOCIAL-DISTANCING PROTOCOLS, OUR COMMUNITY EVENTS AREA WAS ABLE TO HOST SIX FIRE SPEAKS PROGRAMS IN 2021 THAT WERE HELD IN MEXICO THE U.S. AND ATTRACTED NEARLY 300 PEOPLE.
