"The Bonfire" - An Evening of Storytelling, Discovery, & Sacred Connection

THE BONFIRE: BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!
Across time and culture, people have gathered around fire to share stories, speak truth, and remember what matters. The Bonfire carries this spirit forward—not with logs and flames, but with hearts ignited by honesty and human connection.

After a powerful and heartfelt launch, The Bonfire returns to In Vino Veritas for a second evening of true stories, soulful conversation, and deep community connection. Whether you came to the first event or are joining us for the first time, you're invited to gather with us again for a night of meaning, laughter, and belonging.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• A cozy, welcoming space in the wine bar—come as you are, settle in, and connect with others.
• True stories told live—honest, moving, and shared by everyday people from our community.
• Guided moments of reflection and conversation to spark insight and deepen connection.

PROGRAM
5:30–6:30 pm – Social Hour
Settle in with wine, grab a bite to eat, and meet new friends as you explore and expand your tribe.
6:30–8:30 pm – Storytelling & Fireside Chats
The lights dim, the inspiration ignites, and our storytellers take the stage. Then, we invite you into small group chats that carry the spark forward.
8:30–9:30 pm – Group Reflections
Share what resonated, ask questions, and speak from the heart in a collective closing conversation.
