Bonfire - Pioneer Valley
Bonfire brings people together in real-world spaces, to grow, learn, and spark change — together and 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. So many of us give so much--to our communities, to our workplaces, and to the causes we care about--that we forget to recharge our own batteries and remember what gives us inspiration, motivation, and joy. In this spirit, Bonfire - Pioneer Valley seeks to bring local women together to build social connection and mutual support as we live our values and work collectively to bring about meaningful change in our society. Our meetings take place in varied locations around the Pioneer Valley--from group members' homes, to cafes, to other local spots--with activities ranging from social meetings, to indoor and outdoor activities, to pursuing opportunities to give back to the larger community. Created in partnership with the Red Wine & Blue (RWB) Network, Bonfire groups are local communities led by volunteer organizers who want to bring people together where they live. The RWB Network provides the tools, training, and support to help these groups grow and thrive — while keeping community building at the center.
