Staff and presenter signups are now open for Shining Hearth!

Staff: We are looking for people to moderate chat. The staff signup form is available here.

Presenters: Presentations can be on any topic that would be of interest to elfae folk and can be in any format: lecture, panel, group discussion, ritual/meditation, performance, etc. The presenter signup form is available here. (If you would like to do a group presentation, choose one person to be the contact and only fill out the form once. All members of the group must be over 18.)

Interested in presenting, but need inspiration for a topic? Check out the schedules from 2021 or 2022 in our past events archive, or this compilation of workshop descriptions from various otherkin gathers.

We are accepting staff and presenter applications through January 13, 2023. If you want to do both, you can! Just fill out both forms.

General registration for Shining Hearth is now open! The form is here. (Please note that you must be 18 or older to attend.)
If you’ve never been on Discord before, we have a guide to help you get started.

Staff signups are still open through January 13.

Presenter signups are also still open through January 13, or while space is available. We’re still looking for about 5 more proposals so we can fill the schedule and have some backups in case anyone needs to cancel.

We have a tentative full schedule for Shining Hearth and anticipate posting it on the website in early to mid-February. However, we are still accepting signups of backup presenters in case anyone currently on the schedule has to drop out. If you would like to be a backup, sign up here through February 10th.

General registration also continues! Register to attend here.

1 week left to register for Shining Hearth!

Registration for Shining Hearth will close on March 22nd. Between staff, presenters, folks still with us from last year, and new registrations, we may see 55+ people this year! If you’d like to join us, you can register here.

Schedule update: Chronically Fae on Saturday evening has been replaced by a moderated group discussion on Otherkin and Religion. Saturday night will now also feature a movie, *Ember Days* (and boy is it a doozy!).
