Bonfire - St. Johns
Bonfire – St. Johns is an off-line, monthly gathering of women in homes and local gems across our community. We gather to build connection, feel community and grow relationships while providing opportunities to learn and give back together. Our members enjoy meeting up with one another outside of our monthly gatherings deepening their connection in both shared interests and values. We believe these recurring moments together ignite sparks within each of us that lead to the spice of life we all crave. Bonfire brings people together in real-world spaces, to grow, learn, and spark change — together, in person. We’re building community right in your backyard, with events and gatherings that offer opportunities for personal, professional, and political engagement and fulfillment. If you are looking for connection and joy, seeking inspiration or have some to share, we have a seat by our fire for you! Created in partnership with Red Wine & Blue’s TroubleNation, Bonfire groups are local communities led by volunteer organizers who want to bring people together where they live. TroubleNation provides the tools, training, and support to help these groups grow and thrive — while keeping community building at the center.
