This year was Firefly Gathering’s first Annual Firefly Gathering since COVID, and our second Gathering since receiving our 501c3 nonprofit status. Over the last three years since becoming a nonprofit, Firefly Gathering has grown and is blossoming with new vigor! We are excited to share our 2022 Annual Community Report to share more about our Programs and Offerings, Goals, Overall Income and Expenses, and more. Click below to read.
The Neighborhood is a safe cul-de-sac where the neighbors can play together. That’s a beautiful way to put it. There are ways of approaching other cultures that are selfish and other ways that are not selfish at all, but celebratory. That’s the difference between extraction and reciprocity.
If we are not in a right-relationship with Earth, we are not going to make it. This is not just a feel-good thing. We literally have to be in right-relationship with the Earth to make it through what’s going to happen.

Lily is an artist, creator, and dreamer. Since a very young age, she has been immersed in the natural world and draws heavy inspiration from the wild. Though her medium changes frequently, Lily’s art and expression always incorporate an element of the organic and unpredictable. She got her associate in fine arts in 2023, and now volunteers at her school as a ceramic studio monitor. She hopes to open a studio of her own one day to have a place to teach and inspire others. In addition to doing commission work, Lily has been creating many graphics for The Firefly Gathering since 2019. Lily grew up in the Earthskills community from the time she was eight years old, so having the opportunity to grow and give back in so many ways has been incredibly fulfilling. No matter where she ends up, this group of people and ideas will always hold a special place in her heart.
