I post it here because her circles are something special to me and match the spirit on this page.

Regular evenings around the fire exploring the wildness inside and around us through time in the woods and conversations around the fire, with people and with the life of the forest.
Maybe as an equivalent to now well-known women and men's circles. I am interested in what it means to be human in this time - especially in co-existence with all the other specieswe are here with.
Why:
- to grow the deeper roots and softer hearts we need in a time of interconnected global crises.
- to feel that we are not alone and to ask what it means that "we are nature".
- to lean into that support and wisdomnature in and around us has.
- to create community with space for the wholeness of who we are, and to heal.
- to strengthen inter-human and interspecies understanding and connection.
- because the world needs us to stop, to gather and to listen - to ourselves, each other and the life in the woods.
- because it is a crazy world and time we are living in, and gathering around the fire in the dark times gives us so much!
How:
Every time we start and end around the fire.
We will spend some time in conversation, sharing and listening around the fire, and some time each for ourselves with the life in the woods, so we can bring other voices into the conversation around the fire.
We will explore stories, song, silence, encounters with nature and the questions and longings each of us bring.
These sessions are informed by my own longings, my experiences and practises, especially within Ways of Council, Nature-based rites of passage work, nature connection and the Work That Reconnects, as well as inspiration from many human and other-than-human guides, mentors, peers and teachers on my way. And then it will also be shaped by who and what shows up.
I will suggest practices for the time in bewteen our gatherings, so there will be a continuation for those who come continously, but you are also welcome to just drop in once.
Who:
You who feel these words ressonate with something in you, whether it is expressed as curiosity, longing, scepticism or something else.
Both yours and my primary guides for the evenings are the fire, the circle, darkness and the life in the woods.
I, Anna, plan and facilitate the evenings and will sometimes invite other guest contributors.

Where: The bonfire hut 'Bålhytten' on Tumlepladsen in Riisskov
When:
Four Mondays in a row from 17-19.30. After 19.30 it is possible to stay and eat your brought food around the fire. So far the planned dates are: 18/11, 25/11, 2/12 og 9/12. And then continuing in some fashion after Christmas.
How much:
I offer this in the spirit of a gift economy. Contributions for firewood is appreciated. Donations apart from that is received with gratitude (and will support me in further prioritizing this work), and not expected.
