Traditional Prayer Circle
Hosted by Alora Dawn · 4-Year Chanupa Carrier
This traditional prayer circle comes from my heart and soul, and from the many years of practicing this ancestral art with a variety of cultures. Especially grateful for the Lakotan, Andean, and Shuar lineages that have blessed me with these teachings and given me permission to share my sacred pipe with the community.
We sit and pray together to communicate, listen, and reconnect as a community through the spirit of the tobacco.
It is a practice of showing up together as family, in our differences and in our similarities, to build resilience and love during challenging times and celebratory moments.
This is how we build resilience, invoke hope, and spark the ember of innovation and change together, as a united community.

Fire Cider Workshop
A hands-on evening of folk medicine, flame, and flu-season roots
Make your own bottle of fire cider to take home, grounded in herbal tradition and practical flu-season support. Together we'll explore what fire cider is, the folk lore and history behind it, and the medicinal properties of the roots, bulbs, and peppers that give it its bite.
We'll cover how to use fire cider through flu season and simple preventative care to carry with you through the colder months, then build your own jar to take home and let steep.
You'll leave with a finished jar steeping, ready to strain in two to four weeks, and the knowledge to keep making it yourself.
What You'll Learn
Lore, roots & remedy
The history behind fire cider, the medicinal properties of its base ingredients, and how to use it for flu-season prevention and care.

Cutting boards, knives, all ingredients, and handouts provided. Bring a quart-size mason jar, an apron if you'd like one, and good hearts.
