In a time when it can be so difficult to feel connected to ourselves and others, I feel grateful for the community fire gatherings and Nourish events that Christina hosts. Community fires provide an opportunity to tap into nature's rhythms as we celebrate and embrace the changing of seasons, while gathered around a crackling fire in a serene park setting.

These events are structured in a way that flows nicely. Christina is an incredibly giving and caring person, and she does a great job of educating people on how to use meditation and creative journaling to look inward in a non-judgemental manner. This key aspect helped me to feel less alone (I saw that some others shared similar struggles and stressors), which resulted in me feeling less pressure “to be perfect”. She also effectively points out all the ways society bombards us with messages of “we are not good enough”. I have recommended Nourish events to many friends, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone reading this as well.

Attending Nourish has been a transformative experience for me. From the moment you walk into the space, you feel seen, welcomed, and completely at ease. Christina curates every detail with such intention—from the beautiful, nourishing food to the grounding meditation and reflective journaling. There’s a unique kind of magic in the way she brings people together—creating a space where connection flows naturally, and you leave feeling full in every sense of the word. It’s more than a brunch—it’s a reset for the mind and soul.

What I loved about the fires was the feeling that I would always leave with – calm. It’s interesting how something as basic as being in nature, gathering around a fire and sharing a few thoughts and stories can bring such peace. There’s a little magic in that simplicity and the way the evening is brought together.
