Firefly Gatherings

03/29/2025

It's a beautiful thing to see the magic this community creates continue to grow and inspire. ✨💖 The Mosaic Gathering is all about community, authentic connection, and shared creativity. What we love most is the way Mosaic invites the community to participate and co-create deeply. Sound familiar? It should—these values deeply resonate with and mirror the spirit of Firefly.

We can't wait to see how this event is brought to life, and we know it will be incredible in part because there are so many Fireflies weaving wonder behind the scenes, not to mention that it's held at a space very dear to our glowing hearts - Gateway Ranch.

Don’t miss this opportunity to reconnect and celebrate the transformative inspiration that happens in a community when we gather intentionally. 🌈

Dear Fireflies,

Our break has been delicious.

It has provided an opportunity to heal, grow, and enrich ourselves with new projects. And, to reflect.

Firefly represents something so special, sacred, and powerful that we have come to realize that it requires more of us than we can offer year after year. This enormous amount of energy and time has always been a gift; volunteer run across the board.

Over the last year, the freedom to experience life and focus on our personal ambitions has been refreshing. It has illuminated the sacrifice that Firefly had come to represent.

We have decided to continue prioritizing our personal growth.
We encourage each of you to do the same. Firefly will not be held in 2017.

Firefly is not over. It will re-emerge at the perfect possible time, in the perfect possible place.

Until then, we wish you endless love and gratitude for the support over the last 7 years as we co-created one of the greatest expressions of love and creativity that we have ever seen.

We are all, and always will be, Fireflies.

We send our collective love and appreciation to the stars to join you, Nicholas, Pumpkin. The love you brought to the festival movement was evident in your smile. Not only did you rock our socks, but you brought your passion to the next generation. We are honored that we had the opportunity to share space with you, glowing as Fireflies together.

We invite those of you who were blessed with a Pumpkin experience at Firefly or otherwise to share them here as we come together to celebrate his life and his music.

With endless love to eternity,
The Firefly Team

Greetings Beloved Fireflies!

We have IMPORTANT NEWS to share- Firefly Gathering is taking a year of rest; therefore, no Firefly Gathering will be held in 2016.

Firefly is more than music. Firefly is more that art. More than yoga. More than people, more than a festival. Firefly is a living being that was birthed from the womb of the Dreams, Visions and Determination of a very special commUNITY. What we have witnessed through this evolution is nothing less than MAGIC. We have come to realize that all beings require rest. We honor this need for renewal and regeneration as the Firefly entity has made it clear that this year, it is time to rest, to take a year off to build stronger roots and a more sustainable design.

As winter approaches, we are all reminded to rest. We encourage ALL of you- our Firefly Family, to honor this part of the natural cycle within yourself.

When we DO return to the meadow, we promise to provide a platform from which we can individually AND Collectively GLOW Even Brighter than EVER!!

STAY TUNED for Future Firefly Functions!

Love Always & All Ways,

The Firefly Team

"So why we were there? Just to party? No. Just to dance? Not entirely. Maybe we were there to find out who we really are, and to reconnect to what we have forgotten as we carve a future that can sustain humanity."

The Lucid Planet with Dr. Kelly nailed it with this beautifully written article. Thank you for seeing us, feeling our intentions, and letting us know that we were successful in our mission. The amazing photos Clare Black Photography are a real treat as well!
