Inhabitants of Castanet Tolosandon’t be surprised if, while strolling through the streets of the town, you see a gathering around a fire. This is a new meeting proposed by the association The natural yurt entitled The evening of the fire. And everyone is welcome there!
“The association The natural yurt has for but to support, accompany and cultivate the link. Support people to nurture the connection to themselves, to nature and to others. In my opinion, these are the three essential pillars for a harmonious life that is respectful of others, human and non-human”, explains Emilie Desmonsmember of this structure but also elected to the town hall of Castanet-Tolosan.
Three appointments
Fires were already lit on various occasions in front of the yurt located at 8 avenue de la République. But the desire to make more people benefit from it was felt.
the evening of fire will thus be organized at 8:30 p.m. on three Fridays : April 29 in Place Guilllaume-Apollinaire, May 27 in the square rue Albert-Camus and June 24 in the concrete square in front of the Malraux space.
” Everything is possible ! »
The corn ? “Lighting a fire to gather around, warm up together, and suddenly look at each other, see each other again, talk to each other, sing, dance… Anything is possible!” “says Emilie Desmons. Before adding:
“And at the same time, nothing special is expected or proposed, precisely to let this meeting space come to life with the energies present that day, in that place. The only proposal is to come and symbolically burn a piece of paper or a piece of wood so that the fire seizes what we no longer want, to stop something that is no longer necessary for us. Or even offer paper, wood, flower petals or dried citrus peel to the fire to send messages of love to the universe, to other beings, to make wishes for a sweeter life. »
It’s hard to talk about this moment “because it’s different every time and that’s what’s good”, concluded the organizer, inviting at the same time to go there to discover it for yourself.
