1 week left to register for Shining Hearth!

Registration for Shining Hearth will close on March 22nd. Between staff, presenters, folks still with us from last year, and new registrations, we may see 55+ people this year! If you'd like to join us, you can register here.

Schedule update: Chronically Fae on Saturday evening has been replaced by a moderated group discussion on Otherkin and Religion. Saturday night will now also feature a movie, Ember Days (and boy is it a doozy!).

 If you've never been on Discord before, we have a guide to help you get started. (PDF, 1.1 MB)

The more difficult system, the more weird nonsense issues. Don't be bothered by it, as long as you can find working solution.

[Arethinn aTinderel]

Most people are probably using either Firefox or Chrome and doing fine, though (since posts are clearly being made). It doesn't make sense.

I use Avast Browser, which is altered Google Chrome and I have no issues.

[Arethinn aTinderel]

hmm very strange. i don't know what's different about Safari that it will let me comment, while the button does nothing in either Chrome or Firefox (been going on since that last comment I was able to make on Jan 31, when it was already giving error messages, but at least trying)... that's pretty inconvenient, if I'm going to have to post only from my iPad from now on. :-/

Well, I don't have the full text I tried to post on Feb 15th and March 1 handy, but suffice it to say, just a reminder that registration is still going on and will be open until March 22nd!

[Arethinn aTinderel]

Okay, I'm not sure what Ning is balking at....

We have a tentative full schedule for Shining Hearth and anticipate posting it on the website in early to mid-February. However, we are still accepting signups of backup presenters in case anyone currently on the schedule has to drop out. If you would like to be a backup, you can still sign up for that through February 10th.

General registration also continues!

[Arethinn aTinderel]

Presenter signups for Shining Hearth have been extended until February 10th, or while space is available. Sign up here.

If you're interested in presenting, but need inspiration for a topic, check out our previous schedules, or see this compilation of workshop descriptions from various otherkin gathers.

Musical or other performances are also welcome!

General registration is also ongoing. Register to attend here.

[Arethinn aTinderel]

General registration for Shining Hearth is now open! The form is here. (Please note that you must be 18 or older to attend.)

 

If you've never been on Discord before, we have a guide to help you get started.

 

Staff signups are still open through January 13.

 

Presenter signups are also still open through January 13, or while space is available. We're still looking for about 5 more proposals so we can fill the schedule and have some backups in case anyone needs to cancel.
