Welcome BACK, Fire Family!
Our Venue: YMCA Camp West Mar, 14509 Brown Road, Sabillasville, MD 21780
"Oh, sweet soul of mine
You are rather astonishing
For you are an alchemist
Transforming wretched ash
Into a glorious phoenix
I curse the ones who ever told you otherwise."
~Ali
TriFire 2024 seeks to explore our own personal transformation from lead to gold in ways both familiar and unfamiliar. We experiment with the ingredients brought into our sacred container by you, our participants, in this grand experience! North, South, East and West, Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Spirit, planets, metals, alchemical metaphors, and Jungian archetypes will take flight as we explore the mythos and rich symbolism of the birds of alchemy: the raven, swan, peacock, and the phoenix!
TriFire is a sober event; music, song, dance, fellowship, and the night are among our ingredients.

Meal Plan
An optional meal plan is available! For just $60, our cook will prepare 7 sumptuous meals in Camp West Mar's commercial grade kitchen for you. No need to pack a cooler, ice, camp stove, and spend precious time cooking at your camp; let him do it for you! The meal plan will include: Friday breakfast and dinner, brunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday, and breakfast on Monday. Please be sure to include any dietary restrictions in your contact information so we can prepare accordingly.
Please Read! - The Parking Situation
Parking at Camp West Mar is very limited. If you can, please carpool with a friend, or two! We are encouraging use of the cabins and signing up for the meal plan to reduce the amount of "stuff" you need to bring. We will likely have to double-park cars at some point - please uncheck "Ok to double-park me" in your registration form if you need access to your car during the event.
Sunshine Funds
TriFire and SCC do not want money to be a barrier to attendance at one of our events. If you are experiencing financial difficulties and could use a little "sunshine" in your life to help make attending TriFire possible, please choose the "Invoice Me" option at the conclusion of your registration process and send an email to admin@stonecirclecouncil.org to let us know what you need. Sunshine funds can be applied towards basic event fees, but not for add-on items such as accommodation upgrades and meal plans.
