StoryFire is a weekend designed to ignite your voice, deepen your truth, and unlock the stories only you can tell. Set against the backdrop of stunning Fort Lewis Lodge & Farm. We’ll gather to explore the intersections of story, soul, and personal transformation.

Every great story begins with a call to adventure. On this November weekend, we gather at the Bend House we’ll trace the symbols and patterns that have shaped us, break the spells that once held us, and speak our stories aloud as fellow travelers on the path.
