What we’re about

Welcome to the Boise Beornings!

We are a friendly gathering of Tolkien fans inspired by the legendary Beorn, the shapeshifter who lived in harmony with nature. Like Beorn, we respect all creatures and strive to live in a way that honors the natural world. This smial was founded on 03 January 2025, J.R.R. Tolkien's 133rd birthday!

What we do:

🌳 Seasonal Gatherings: We meet seasonally and on special Tolkien Society days at High Note Cafe in Boise, Idaho, USA.
🍲 Vegan Feasts: Enjoy delicious vegan meals together, inspired by the bounty of Middle-earth.
🗨️ Tolkien Talk: Engage in casual discussions about Tolkien's works, his life, and the world he created.
🎲 Games and Merriment: Play Tolkien-inspired games and enjoy fellowship with other Middle-earth enthusiasts.
🍻 Toast Our Forebears: Raise a glass to Beorn and the other remarkable characters of Middle-earth.

Our Philosophy:

🐻 Respect for All Creatures: We believe in living in harmony with nature and treating all beings with kindness and respect.
🤝 Fellowship and Friendship: Our primary goal is to forge lasting friendships with fellow Tolkien fans.
❤️ Casual and Inclusive: Our gatherings are relaxed and welcoming to all who share a love for Tolkien and Middle-earth.

Membership is free!

Join us for a cozy bite and a toast to adventure!

Autumnmoot 2025
High Note Cafe, 225 N 5th St, Boise, ID, US
Welcome, friends, to the third and final 2025 gathering of the Boise Beornings: Autumnmoot!

After the warmth and renewal of our last meetings, we gather once more to embrace the cozy, introspective beauty of Middle-earth as the seasons turn. Join us as we celebrate the harvests, the deep lore, and the winding roads of Tolkien's world as the year draws to its close.

What to Expect:

Tolkien-Inspired Game: Delight in a fun, cooperative tabletop game based in the landscapes and lore of Middle-earth, perfect for a cozy autumn day.

Dwarf on the Road: This moot is taking place on composer Howard Shore's birthday! In light of that, we invite you to answer this question: "If you were a dwarf on the road, what travel instrument would you bring to make music along the way?"

Vegan Feast: Enjoy a satisfying vegan feast worthy of a harvest gathering in the Westfarthing or an evening in a dwarf-hall.

Fellowship and Friendship: Connect with fellow Tolkien enthusiasts and enjoy the camaraderie we’ve built throughout the year in our growing community.

Important Notes:

Space is Limited: Please RSVP to secure your spot for this final meeting of the year. If your RSVP changes, please update it to allow others to attend.

Payments: Kindly bring cash to cover the cost of your meal at High Note Cafe. Splitting checks is not possible. Alternatively, you may send your portion via Venmo or a similar platform.

Prepare Your Instrument: Come prepared to share your answer to the "Dwarf on the Road" question! You don't have to bring the actual instrument, though 😉

We eagerly anticipate sharing this final, harvest-time occasion with you!
