"I’ve been absolutely pushed beyond what I thought was possible and I am so appreciative for every single one of you. The amount of real love, connection and care I experienced in that woodsy caldron has been a highlight of my year and I feel like I was able to truly imprint important rewiring in my system. I had the opportunity to share vulnerably and be met in ways I only ever dreamed and catapulted me into some pretty incredible opportunities since. Thank you for the juiciness on all levels, ya’ll are pretty fucking incredible❤️ " ~Katelyn

"Last weekend was a delightful surprise. After a heavy few weeks, CJ reached out and asked if I wanted to join him for FireLight 🔥, an inaugural festival in the Mendocino Forest. A last minute festival seemed like a big lift, but my spirit felt really excited about this possibility. With CJ' love and support, I leaned in - and am so glad I did! New festivals can be a wildcard, but I was so impressed by this creation spearheaded by Philippe and Shams. The group that gathered felt safe and intentional. The container was strongly held through ritual and clear agreements. The venue was an adorable woodland full of playful magic and sweet potential. I didn't feel like the shiniest version of myself, but I received an abundance of admiration, love, and connection. My weekend was full of synchronistic moments, big exhales, and deep conversation. I strengthened budding relationships, and met incredible new people I'm excited to be in touch with. Thank you Philippe for your loving presence, sage wisdom, and skilled facilitation. Thank you Shams for your warm smile, bright eyes, and thoughtful leadership. Thank you CJ for your encouragement, tender care, and for being such a great festival buddy. Thank you Enki for your delicious food and thoughtfulness with me and my needs. Thank you to the rest of the FireLight 🔥 team for creating such an incredible container! Excited to see what this crew does next!" ~Abby

"Ohhh dear ones!! I just looked through all the photos and am fondly reflecting on what an absolutely delicious, healing, connective and celebratory time we all shared together! Absolute YUM! 🔥❤️🔥 I’m just getting home from 5 days of camping with my family in the Eastern Sierras straight after FireLight 🔥, so finally able to catch up on all these messages and relive the glow.. you humans are so magnificent. Thank you for all the ways you contributed, your labor, your gifts, your magic.. ✨ Love you all" ~West-Coast Leslie Grace

Greetings, kindred lovers ❤️‍🔥 As the embers of the FireLight 🔥 and the echoes of the 4th of July celebration gently settle, I find myself filled with deep gratitude for these connections and the facilitators who poured their energy into making this event extraordinary. I witnessed the exhaustion etched upon your faces and wish to offer my humble services for next year's gathering to help recreate this sacred space of authentic connection. I am profoundly thankful for the opportunity to reconnect with old friends and forge bonds with new ones. Let us continue to nurture these connections." ~Jesper ✨

"I’m still basking in the afterglow of FireLight 🔥. So many sweet, sexy, relaxing moments, lovely connections and getting to share a wide variety of forms of love. For me, also having the benefit of already having many dear friends among you, FireLight 🔥 felt like a sexy summer camp where everything is welcome, yet without the pressure of pushing for transformation or trying to get anywhere." ~Michael McDonald

"In the end we are all

but light

that cascades

from our inner blades

of forbidden fire

I'm still reminiscing the juicy times in the magical Redwoods, a place where I've been going for the past 12 years and lived for one. While I had a quiet start in the fest, I was grateful for the incremental surprises, subtle insights of witnessing my desires, fears, judgements, and joy, as I surrender to feel our collective connectedness, when we let go of the past and build something new. This was my 6th temple night, coming in with uncertainty and curiosity, and I felt more welcome in this group than previous temples—thanks to the care and leadership of ⁨Shams, ⁨Philippe⁩, and the team that made this happen (shout out to Infinity for leading the volunteers, Asherah⁩ for holding space as high priestess). I made love in the redwoods, fostered incredible new connections, nurtured new brotherhood, and I can't wait to explore more with you'all at the intersection of spirit, sex, magic, and art." ~Priyatam

"I was just thinking about my experience at FireLight 🔥 and one of the things that stood out was the entertainment, the way you and your team orchestrated DJs and entertainment was very high-quality. I remember Tantra festivals where they didn’t even had a real DJ. Like the Tantra festival of Southern California, for example. Well done because that makes all the difference ☀️☀️☀️" ~Stephan
