Fire Circle Soup

Fire Circle Soup gatherings invite our community to come together around the EQI Fire Circle to prepare and share soups made from locally sourced or locally grown Indigenous foods. These gatherings create space for connection to land, food traditions, and one another through shared meals, conversation, and hands-on cultural activities.

Join us throughout the season for a series of themed Fire Circle Soups, each featuring a special activity or offering alongside a nourishing meal.
