Conscious Considerations of the ICARUS Fire

In support of this vision, we offer these thoughts for your consideration:



Enter with a willingness to actively take part & “juice up” whatever is happening.

Welcome fresh possibilities & invent ways to stay engaged with each other, self & Spirit.

The flow of energy moves around the fire. During moments when we wish to be still, we pause at the outer edge of the Circle, taking care to avoid standing between the drummers and the Fire.

We feed the Fire with consciousness and intention. The Fire is Sacred & only receives material for transformation. No trash & no jumping over or into the Fire.

We encourage personal responsibility and safety. Be mindful of your body and how you are moving.

Our circle honors sonic diversity. Please allow opportunities for quieter instruments to shine… May we also be blessed with silences.

All are encouraged to share songs and chants around the Fire.

Sacraments- smokeable or drinkable- stay outside the Sacred Circle

Many dancers find electronic visual stimulation or artificial light sources distracting. Please avoid wearing or using light toys or glow sticks in the Fire Circle.

Have fun, play to your heart’s content, and remember that you are witnessed within a Circle of Community.

Let the love show on your face!
