Description :

Registration for this workshop is open.

Back by popular demand, this unique workshop will provide an intimate, welcoming space for women and non-binary folks to delve into the practical magic of fire making, and to tend to our inner fires through community, food, song and relationship with the land.

Making fire isn't just a useful skill-- it's also a practice that asks us to cultivate awareness and attunement to the world around us. Together, we'll explore the skills needed to confidently and safely work with fire, from gathering materials from the land, chopping wood, making a tinder bundle, and much more. We'll weave in some practical tips on keeping warm in winter, too!

In this workshop, we'll explore the landscape, identifying and working with four local trees and plants for use as fuel and tinder. We'll practice with various methods of sparking up a fire beyond matches and lighters.

Once the fire is burning, we can cook! We'll be preparing some winter treats to keep us warm, like Nordic Cookies or ´Rullran’ (gluten-free), and Chai Tea (vegan).

Meet Your Instructors

Annie Sanassian cherishes the unforgettable nights spent camping in the desert, where a fire illuminated the darkness and the chill in the air created a magical atmosphere. As a child, she was taught to tend to a children’s fire alongside other kids, learning invaluable lessons that deepened her connection to this elemental force. For Annie, tending to fires has always evoked a sense of warmth and curiosity. Passionate about how flickers can weave together, she sees them as a canvas for stories and memories that linger long after the last embers fade.

Proud mother, Senior Staff at GOS, and director & founder at Wind and Rain, Madeleine Carere has an undying love of connecting with the natural world. With a background in studying plants for food and medicine, more recently Madeleine has turned her focus to the world of animals. Continually deepening her relationship with the landscape and this earth one species at a time; be it plant, lichen, insect, 4 legged, or winged.

“Food and fire are in our bones and blood.
There is something innately in us that draws one to cooking over fire that just feels right.”
