20th Anniversary of the Talking Stick Festival

Sea­son of Four Fires 

Full Cir­cle calls to the Four Direc­tions and All Our Rela­tions to gath­er around Four Fires, in each sea­son: win­ter, spring, sum­mer, and fall.

The Fire calls us into Right Rela­tions with each oth­er. Cel­e­brat­ing acts of artis­tic trans­for­ma­tion, cre­ative defi­ance, com­mu­ni­ty-build­ing and mak­ing space for all voic­es.  Past, present, and future: sparks of our Sacred Fire, inspir­ing us to acknowl­edge and hon­or the Teach­ings and Knowl­edge of our Elders, for the well-being of all our communities.

We start with Win­ter Lodge, where we cel­e­brate with per­for­mances and engage our audi­ences by shar­ing sto­ries and knowl­edge through a series of vir­tu­al con­ver­sa­tions, dis­cus­sions, pan­els and talk­ing circles. 

After our time togeth­er in The Win­ter Lodge, we move into Spring Awak­en­ing.

A shift and renew­al
Ances­tors head­ing Home
Time to Gath­er Med­i­cines to heal one another

We invite you to join us for sto­ries, songs and dances that bring that spir­it of hope and healing.

After The Spring Awak­en­ing, we move to the 3rd sea­son of fires — Sum­mer Sojourn where we call to the Four Cor­ners of Tur­tle Island and invite you all to join us in light­ing the fire with cel­e­bra­tions start­ing on June 1st. 

     

Join us for Seasons of Four Fires: Summer Sojourn
starting June 1st.

Full Cir­cle: First Nations Per­for­mance is a char­i­ta­ble orga­ni­za­tion. Pro­ceeds go toward com­mu­ni­ty out­reach oppor­tu­ni­ties, mak­ing local the­atre acces­si­ble to the less for­tu­nate. For more infor­ma­tion, click “Donate Now!” to view our Cana­da Helps cam­paign.
