Julieanne
Julieanne brings with her a love of co-creating inclusive community gatherings. Her intention is to work with others to create sacred spaces (physically and energetically) that will allow for deep play and transformational work for ourselves and the earth.
Julieanne has long been interested in connections with ourselves, others, the earth and spirit. Her work as a psychologist, educator and energy worker has traversed community, health and diversity. Her doctorate explored celebrations (play and ritual), health and wellbeing. |

Jimmy
People have danced for eons around the fire, but it was not until 2005 that I willingly did any dancing and it was around a fire that started my dancing.
I will be in the background helping where I can, building the village, managing the accounts. But I trust earthFIRE will be a place to coax out those parts of myself, which have stayed in the dark, a space for liberation. A time to play with the drum and my creativity .... a place to transform into a new way of being, coming to know the beauty that is within all and allowing us to shine. |

Joanna
Joanna is a musician, a songwriter, a singer, a wordsmith, an improviser, an event co-ordinator and a workshop facilitator. She believes music is the birthright of all humans. If you can breathe and speak you can sing. If you have a pulse in your veins you have a rhythm in you heart. Music is a great form of healing and self-expression.
In recent years music has become something that most people observe others do on stage, on television, on the radio. People believe that you need a special “gift”, that we are not good enough. We all have gifts and we are all good enough! It’s time to break down the barriers that exist between performers and audience and participate in co-creation!
Synchronicity brought Joanna to earthFire in September 2007. She immediately felt a connection to the beautiful people, the earth and elements as she danced up the earth, explored new instruments and rhythms, learnt chants and served freely with her new fire family.
So much peace, love and healing were found round those fires for both the participants and the earth that Joanna felt drawn to commit to guardianship of earthFire to ensure the fires continue.
