The Symbol & the Flame

A Ghostlights Gathering for the Rare and Restless

Theme:

What guides you, and how do you know?

Not everyone follows a map. Some of us navigate by instinct, memory, emotion, and metaphor. A feeling that won’t leave. A symbol that returns. A sentence that shaped us.

This event is about reconnecting with your inner compass, the quiet force that helps you move through life when the path isn’t obvious.
We’ll reflect together on values, beliefs, choices, and the invisible threads that shape our lives.

Through gentle conversation, creative prompts, and optional writing, we’ll honour the ways we sense meaning, through art, philosophy, intuition, and the stories we carry.

What to expect:

A calm, soulful gathering for gentle conversation, creative reflection, and optional writing. No pressure, no performance. Just a soft, thoughtful space to connect.

You can bring (optional):

🧭 A symbol or object that reflects your values
📜 A journal entry, poem, or quote that’s stayed with you
📓 A notebook for reflections or writing
🎞️ A memory that shaped you
🌀 A belief you’re questioning
🕯️ Or simply yourself, open, restless, and real

Why The Inner Compass?

Not all maps are visible.

Some people navigate by instinct.

Others by values, memories, or metaphors.

Sometimes it’s a dream, a sentence, a feeling that sticks.

Your compass might be emotional, intellectual, spiritual — or a mix of all three.

This is a space to honour that. To reflect, write, and speak about how we move through life guided by what we feel, believe, and imagine.

Together, we’ll sit in quiet clarity and ask:

> What guides you — and how do you know?

Ghostlights is for the rare, the restless.

Everyone is welcome, writers, non-writers, thinkers, seekers, and introverts.

This space is inclusive, gentle, and intentionally mindful 🌒

(Feel free to bring guests, or to turn up if the event is full!)
