Grant Marquit & the Alchemical Fire Crew. Grant Marquit is a skilled facilitator and frequent Master of Ceremonies, having directed large-scale multi-media productions involving diverse communities from the arts, business, technology, civic and ecological realms. With an advanced degree in Neo-Shamanology and a certified Transformational Bliss Technologist from Fourthshifters University, Grant pulls together other seasoned ring leaders (including YOU!) from our Brushwood community to orchestrate the experience of the Alchemical Fire.
Alchemical Fire – The Grand Design. The Alchemical Fire combines chant, movement, prayer, special foods, light, crystals, singing bowls and other elements around a night-long “intentional” fire. Various leaders from the community facilitate portions of the evening where participants are guided on a quest of transmutation of our base lead to gold, from Root to Crown, beyond and back again. All are welcome to lead (workshop participation is encouraged, but not mandatory) or simply participate, and all are encouraged to stay for the duration of the experience. All Welcome. Sirius Rising: 1:00–2:30 p.m. TUE, July 22, North Pavilion
Alchemical Fire – Chant, Movement & Prayer. It always helps to know a little something about the chants, movements and prayers that we’ll share the night of the the Alchemical Fire. We’ll cover some aspects of mantra, pagan chant and song, yogic and other traditional movements, and share ideas for ritual segments that you can use no matter where or how you practice. All Welcome. Sirius Rising: 5:00-6:30 pm WED, July 23, Storytelling Pavilion
Alchemical Fire – Place Making, Lighting, Incense, Crystals, Food. Here, we shape our vessel of transformation – the crucible, catalysts and conditions that will contain the reagents (us!) in the experience of Thursday night’s Alchemical Fire. All of these factors help us stay safe and aid in our journey through sustenance, warmth, scent, color and crystal. All hands on deck – this is a group effort! All Welcome.
