"It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become."

~Dr. Seuss

TriFire 2023 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 be joined by the Lorax as we 'grow roots that stretch down and faith that reaches out' like the trees.

TriFire is a sober event; music, song, dance, fellowship, and the night are among our ingredients.


Eclipse Magic Weekend

April  6 - 9 2024

Grand Valley, PA

RSVP!

Join Stone Circle Council for a magical weekend of watching the total Solar Eclipse.  Geographical viewing areas are limited, so we will be traveling north towards Lake Erie. It will be *cold* with probable overnight lows in the 30s and daily highs likely not more than 55.  Our venue, therefore, will be hotel-style!  

The weekend will include outdoor viewing of almost 2 full minutes (1m52s) of totality.  We will be including beverages, meals, and snacks for the weekend in registration!  

The weekend will lead to ample opportunities to connect, relax, do magic, learn some things, and witness something that won't be back in the states for the next 20 years! That's the basics!

RSVP now so we can make sure we've got the right-sized venue!! Formal registration will open later this summer!

Many thanks to all our candidates, our past officers, and our community of committed voters!

SCC on Discord!

We are extremely excited to announce an SCC Community Discord server! We have consistently received feedback that there is desire to connect on a platform outside of FB, with many specific requests for Discord because it allows for easier informal chatting and channels organized by topics.

We have created a Discord server with a variety of channels to start us off, set community rules and guidelines in line with our Code of Conduct, empowered a moderator team to help protect the space, and welcome you all into it!

Looking forward to seeing you there! Come post a picture of your cat!

Quick note: You will need to sign up for a Discord account if you do not already have one.
