Come Be Lovers in Community!
Ritual ✨ Revelry ✨ Dance ✨ Music ✨ Play ✨ Eros ✨ Fire ✨ Forest
Join us, friends and lovers, for the eco-sexy summer camp experience of your dreams!
FireLight 🔥 summons the warmth in our hearts, the fire of our souls, and a spark of eros to come forth so that we may shine our light even brighter in the world and be an agent of love, in all its forms.
✨Be part of an intimate immersive festival experience filled with whimsy, magic, ceremony, revelry, nourishment, nature, dance, workshops, intimate connections, and erotic exploration.
✨
Set in a secluded grove of redwoods near the Mendocino coast, this National Historic Landmark site boasts an impressive dance hall, restored 100-year-old cabins, ample camping/RV spots, and a large fire circle amphitheater. Prepare to unplug and be deeply held by the abundance of nature.
✨
This historic camp also has miles of hiking/biking trails, a swimming hole nearby, and a great-grandmother tree. Mindful and eco-erotic journeys in the forest will be offered as a way to reconnect with our eros/life force energy through nature.
✨
BE together in a NEW way with communitywhere every part of you is welcomed and celebrated. Come as you are—and leave feeling nourished, supported, and enlivened with new experiences and connections.
✨
This is a unique novel experience presented to you by a group of committed producers and coordinators with decades of combined experience.
Community Values
Creating community requires values that promote the wellbeing of each member of the community and the relationships between them. These values, expressed as agreements, weave themselves into the fabric of community. When you RSVP you will be asked to commit to these agreements as a way to co-create the this fabric and the playground we will all be enjoying together in the forest.
Love ✨ A natural expression of humans beings in community
Care ✨ A desire to bring good things to people so they feel supported
Consideration ✨ Acting to show that someone else’s experience (feelings, pace, needs, desires, and boundaries) matters as much as ours
Curiosity ✨ Being willing to find out about another person’s experience
Attention ✨ Taking/spending the time to get to know another person’s experience
Attunement ✨ Aligning our own actions & experience with another person’s
Connection ✨ Basking in the beauty of dancing with another person’s experience
Trust ✨ Believing that moment to moment we will continue to find ways to stay connected in a way that works best for both of us
Consent ✨ From a place of connection & trust, saying YES to the next moment with another person and staying with this mutual YES until we are complete
Seva & Volunteering
In the spirit of co-creation and group synergy, we are asking everyone to sign up for a 2-hour volunteer shift before, during, or after the event.
✨
More volunteer shifts may be done for an additional discount, and it's possible to do a full work trade for your ticket (see Get Involved below).
✨

"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
"THANK YOU for the wonder-full and beauty-full gathering, and for the opportunity to contribute to it 🙏🏼" ~Taber
"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
