Ember

This event took the form of a ceremonial tea party celebrating the beauty after fire's destruction and was appropriately held in the middle of one of America's biggest fires of the year- the Pioneer Creek Fire near Lowman, Idaho. Guests were gifted this experience and joined me in the middle of this charred landscape to enjoy flavorful cups of tea and a discussion about embers. Embers represent a decision: something that has been smoldering under the surface for a long time; will you fan it back into flames, or allow it to die away? I wanted to attract guests who were ready to have a conversation about change and moving forward, so I hid the invitations to this event in the personal growth sections of many local bookstores in Boise. The lucky finders were given an afternoon full of adventure, ash-inspired treats, and artful ceremony.
