Tending Our Fire will not be going ahead due to unforeseen circumstance that arose this weekend. Iโ€™m really excited to get this off the ground, and I trust when the timing is right, it will. I cannot wait to create this with you.

Iโ€™m Jess, and Iโ€™m craving community.

All of my work centres around this factโ€“ humans need community to feel safe, supported, and regulated.

So I am offering a free program in Central NL to create just that. Join me at New Found Tao BJJ in Grand Falls Windsor every Sunday morning from 10:30-12. Youโ€™ll be surprised at how much lighter your heart will feel when you leave. And sometimes, there might even be cookies๐Ÿ˜œ

You dont need to bring anything besides youselfโ€“ except maybe a friend or two. If you could interact and share this post so it reaches as many people as possible, it would be much appreciated.

Rememberโ€“ the cost of community is inconvenience. I cannot build this without you. See you soonโ™ฅ๏ธ

Starting this Sunday, October 5th.

Because none of us can heal on our own.
We need places where we can come as we are, be met with compassion, and be held by community.

A storyteller, Knowledge Keeper and mentor who helps people understand their nervous systems (their โœจDragonsโœจ) and learn to tend them with care instead of fear.

Learning to work with my own Dragon has truly changed everything. Itโ€™s helped me heal through things I have been working on for years, step out of survival mode, and find a strength and softness within that I never thought possible. It has helped me believe that I am worthy of compassion.

What began as a single post online grew into a community of tens of thousands of people, a podcast, and a library of free resources. The heart of all of it is the same: helping people understand their nervous systemsโ€“ their Dragonsโ€“ and learn to tend them with love instead of shame.

Through my 1:1 mentorship work Iโ€™ve seen the same transformation begin for others tooโ€“ when we finally feel safe enough to be ourselves, everything shifts.

And thatโ€™s why I created this circle: a space to come together in person, to share stories, tools, and practices that remind us weโ€™re not alone in what we carry.

โ€“Gentle education & storytelling to make sense of our stress and nurture understanding of our Spirit
โ€“Accessible movement, somatic practices, and quiet meditations to help you reconnect with your body and nervous system at a pace that meets you where you are
โ€“Time in circle for reflection and connection, to be witnessed and supported in community

Attendance is free, with an optional donation supporting trusted humanitarian relief efforts in Palestine.

Come exactly as you areโ€“ no experience needed, no expectation to share.
This is a space to be human, to learn, and to be held in community.

This first circle is being held as a safer space for women and gender-diverse people who feel most at ease in this kind of container. (We know men need spaces like this as wellโ€“ we are hoping to offer co-ed circles in the future)
Recommended for ages 16+.

Please share if you can, and tag anyone you would like to attend with. This is a real opportunity to build a powerful community in our little section of the world.

For Keepers who would like to attend, but do not have access to transportation, I may possibly be able to support 2-3 people from Bishop's Falls or Grand Falls. Just reach out and we can chat.

You donโ€™t have to sign up to attendโ€“ youโ€™re welcome to just show up.
Filling out this short form helps me know how many people to expect, lets me send you a gentle reminder before we meet, and also adds you to our community mailing list so you can hear about future programming and resources.

These sessions are a steady, personal space to explore your own patterns and storiesโ€“ to understand your nervous system (your Dragon), and to find practical ways to build safety, resilience, and a more grounded relationship with yourself.

Mentorship is not therapy. Itโ€™s a guided process of education, reflection, and practical supportโ€“ rooted in the same Dragon-tending philosophy I share in my teaching circles, but focused entirely on you.

If youโ€™ve been wanting a safe place to talk things through, to be seen and supported, and to learn how to care for your Dragon in a way that fits your real life, this is that space.

We each carry a spark thatโ€™s worth tending. This circle is my invitation for you to tend your fire alongside othersโ€“ to gather, learn, and remember that your Dragon was never meant to be faced alone.

I hope to see you soon, Keepers.
In kindness and warmth,
Jess The Dragon Keeper

If youโ€™re not sure what I mean when I talk about the โ€˜red dragonโ€™, feel free to check out our free resources at the top of our page. I am also working on a comprehensive E-book that will be available by donation (free for anyone who needs it. I believe education should be accessible to all) The way we breathe either tells our Dragon we are safe, or is a signal of unsafety. This isnโ€™t hard to change, even just the awareness can create a powerful shift. Tomorrow morning, weโ€™ll dive into how to actually breathe in a supportive way.๐Ÿซถโ™ฅ๏ธ

Love ya!

For parents this is also SO key in helping manage your childโ€™s behaviours. When our youngest is hungry he is like a banshee and as soon as we get him a snack/meal heโ€™s chill. Itโ€™s very powerful stuff for all walks of life!

Weโ€™re proud to share that Oath to Earth is now partnered with TerraCycle US Cigarette Waste Recycling Program. This means the cigarette butts we collect will be recycled and kept out of our waterways, trails, and wildlife habitats. We know we havenโ€™t had boots on the ground as much these past couple of weeks, but weโ€™ve been hard at work on the backend, laying the groundwork to turn Oath to Earth into a registered non-profit. This step will open up more opportunities for funding, resources, and bigger clean-up projects. That said, weโ€™re itching to get back out there and get our boots on the ground. Stay tuned for clean-up posts, photos, and some exciting announcements coming soon.

How are you feeding your Dragon today, Keeper? I went for a swim and Iโ€™m about to go for a little walk, and Iโ€™m going to put my bare feet on the Earth for a little bit๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿซถ
