The Four Fires Cycle

No matter where t

hey are located, Four Fires groups meet on the same four key dates during the year.

Event dates are familiar seasonal moments which mark our annual trip around the sun.

They are derived from the traditional pattern of “Quarter Days” that have marked the seasons and celebrations of human civilization for thousands of years.

  1. The Seasonal Cycle of Four Fires Men's Groups

    Fire I: The Sun’s Fire
    Feast of the Nativity / Winter Solstice (late Dec or early Jan)

  2. Fire II:  The Hearth Fire
    Feast of the Annunciation / Spring Equinox (late March)

  3. Fire III:  The Forging Fire

You will be surprised at how perfectly natural it feels to be around a bonfire, sharing meaningful conversation and a hearty meal with your friends on this ancient cadence.
