This year's Burning Bowl theme is "Waves of Resistance & Resilience," which can take on multiple meanings and manifestations for each of us. These acts of resistance, whether big or small, are our opportunities for strengthened resilience, spiritual renewal, and deeper connection with ourselves and others.

So, join us the afternoon of Sunday, March 22, for a celebratory gathering of affirmation and inspiration, delicious food, and live music. People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome!

Background: Affinity's Annual Burning Bowl Ceremony is an inter-generational gathering centering reflection, renewal, and community connection.

Clueless - It does not say RSVP on the Statue of Liberty Sharing the magic of Clueless quotes through the interwebs. Much thanks to Amy Heckerling (and a little bit to Jane Austen) for making this movie possible.
