Tending the flame is a nascent initiative that cultivates safe and empowering spaces. These safe spaces uplift community through guidelines and agreements that ensure safety, authenticity, inclusivity, curiosity, equity, interbeing and slow living. They are constantly evolving organisms that value flattened power structures, and strive to maintain a balance of values and needs for all their members.
Tending the flame invokes community gatherings around firelight. It invites keeping the flame of spirit alive. It celebrates the place of humanity within nature as the bearer of fire, and tends to ways of human-nature symbiosis.
