Join us as we gather in the tradition of the Children’s Fire — a sacred space of remembrance , healing and renewal. Together, we will craft a healing balm for the heart and connect deeply with the spirit of Hawthorn.The Children’s Fire is an invitation to honour the guiding principle that”No law, no decision, no action shall be taken that will harm the children — seven generations into the future.”It is an ethical and ecological commitment to sustainability, long-term thinking, and compassionate action for peace and healing . This tradition places the well-being of children, all life, and the Earth at the heart of everything we do.
