EVENTS
Fire Reverie
Tuesday, February 17 : 5 - 10pm
Wenatchee River Institute, Leavenworth, WA
Fire Reverie is an evening of community, creativity, and connection-where flame, voice, rhythm, and movement come together in the heart of winter. Hosted by the Cascadia Prescribed Burn Association in partnership with the Wenatchee River Institute, Lit Mic, and Shine Song Collective, this gathering invites participants to reflect, express, and celebrate the transformative power of fire.
The evening unfolds in three main phases: spoken word and poetry with the Lit Mic from 6:00–7:00 PM, followed by a participatory song and drum circle with Shine Song Collective from 7:00–8:00 PM, and ending with fire performances and an open dance floor from 8:00–9:00 PM. Guests are welcome to arrive starting at 5:00 PM to gather around the fire, connect, and eat. Fires will be burning throughout the night, with a sauna on site and access to the river for cold plunges - bring a towel and bathing suit if you plan to join in.

Prescribed Burn Site Tours
