SF Bonfire a Success!

Thanks to everyone who came out and made the FUUN beach bonfire a success. I was shocked at how effective Twitter was as an organizing tool when set up properly. It was especially wonderful to be singing circle songs around the fire with all y'all again. And beach wink! Aaah!

A lot of folks expressed a sentiment that the bonfire was the perfect "comedown" from bridging from Youth community at WUUKY, the week-long youth camp we have here in the PCD. We were talking about this back at my house the next evening, and we came up with a proposal that we should have an unofficial gathering like that after every WUUKY, to welcome in the youth who are coming out of YRUU. I am looking forward to holding space for more gatherings and more community ritual!
