Discover the magic of gathering in the firelight
Welcome to the Firelight Gathering Pagan Festival website.
Firelight Gathering is small, intimate, cozy Pagan gathering nestled in the welcoming spirit of Whispering Pines, a campground in Eastern Ontario. It started with a yearning to return to Whispering Pines to camp with a spiritual community and blossomed into much, much more quite overnight.
Firelight Gathering 2023
August 17-20, 2023
Facebook event
Mission Statement: Firelight Gathering is designed to be a Pagan relax-athon. It has minimal programming and maximum relaxation. People are invited to reconnect with old friends, make new friends, and share in the joys of simple re-connections with nature and the company of awesome people. Firelight features nightly bonfires, drumming, dancing, singing, a community potluck, swimming, workshops, vendors, and a Bardic!
In the Firelight, you’ll realize that you are never alone and that we all enjoy the heat and the light of community.
If you’ve never attended a Pagan Festival before, this fest is a great place to start. You’ll make connections, discover new ideas, and have your old ideas challenged and expanded, all in the blessed and sacred presence of the Gods.
Note: Although we cannot allow pets on site (due to insurance costs), Service Dogs are allowed as long as they have their identifying tags and/or vests. If your Service Dog does not have a tag or vest, please provide the necessary documentation.
