PowHERhouse Impact Media Announces FireCircle 2021 - ONE FAMILY
Wednesday, March 10th, 2021, PowHERhouse Impact Media Group officially announced registration is now open for FireCircle 2021 - ONE FAMILY. This three-fire gathering over three days, April 15th - 17th, brings together global leaders for an integrated inquiry session to harvest the collective wisdom in a virtual un-conference setting where there is no audience only conversationalists.
FireCircle 2021 - ONE FAMILY asks the question: How do we live when we remember we are one family? This un-conference virtual fire gathering is the third in a series of twenty conversations leading up to 2030, bringing together Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders to explore the unanswerable questions of our time.
Each FireCircle opens with an Artist of Impact performance and talk-back session and continues the following morning with a diverse perspective and multi-disciplinary co-created conversation that ignite facilitated small-group discussion pods. Each morning closes by harvesting the collective wisdom shared. The third day builds on the previous two with a morning focused on what we need to heal, integrate, and expand, and what this unique experience FireCircle is calling us to activate.
FireCircle Spring 2020 - HUMAN SPIRIT, featuring conversationalists: Jeremy Valeriote, Dianne Whelan and Brittney Ramsey harvested the wisdom of: “Grief and Allow”.
FireCircle Fall 2020 - REVERENCE, featuring conversationalists: Andrea Menard, Dianne Whelan and Charles Eisenstein harvested the wisdom of: “Hollow Bone”, “Behind the Shine” and “Pause”.
FireCircle Spring 2021 - ONE FAMILY, opens with Artist of Impact, Tina Overbury and features two mornings with conversationalists: Mark Brand, Ecko Aleck, James Gardiner, Nicollette Richer, Mark Marsolais-Nahwegahbow, and Willow and Ben Smith.
