Can you relate?
You’re Done Sitting on the Sidelines
Instead of doom-scrolling alone, let’s channel that energy into something powerful. When women gather together we are stronger and can change the world – individually and collectively! Learn from one another, as well as from writers, academics, artists, activists, local experts, traveling speakers, and more.
You’re Craving Real Connection
Let’s be honest – we’ve all been living a little too much on our screens lately. Remember what it felt like to laugh until your sides hurt with women who just get it? That’s what we’re bringing back. New friendships sparked by shared proximity and shared passions.
You Know the Power of Community
Community is nourishing for the heart and the soul. It’s showing up for each other, celebrating wins, and having someone to text when you need a pep talk. \It’s sharing new experiences, new friends, a new lens through which to see your local community.
Our Vaues
Broomfield Bonfire is a local, in-person community that offers an inclusive and supportive space to unearth and unleash your power and potential by fostering personal growth, political engagement, and professional advancement. It's a way to get offline and gather with members of your neighborhoods, towns, and cities in real life. Bonfire was created for women of all ages and backgrounds, but is not exclusive to women.
INCLUSIVITY
Bonfire is built for anyone who identifies as a woman. We embrace people of all ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, races, religions, gender identities, sexual orientations, economic backgrounds, and immigration statuses.
DIALOGUE
We champion free expression and honest conversation, even when topics are complex. We desire to create spaces for difficult discussions while respecting differing and diverse perspectives.
CURIOSITY
We approach each other and our world with open minds and open hearts. Asking questions, deep listening, and learning together are core to our values.
LOCAL IMPACT
Change starts in our own backyards. We believe in the power of showing up for our neighbors, engaging with local issues, and building the communities we want to live in.
JOY
Caring about the world doesn’t mean we can’t have fun doing it. We believe in the power of laughter, celebration, and finding light even in challenging times.
AUTHENCITY
Real community happens when we show up as ourselves...messy, growing, imperfect, and human. We choose vulnerability over perfection
COLLABORATION
Each of us has something to teach and something to learn. Through shared experiences and learning together, we hope everyone is comfortable finding their voice and expressing themselves.
JUSTICE
We believe in fairness, equity, and systems that work for everyone. When we see injustice in our communities, we organize, advocate, and take action together.
DEMOCRACY
Every person deserves a voice in the decisions that affect their lives. We support fair processes, due process, and equal access to civic participation regardless of background or status.
