Event Info

Shining Hearth is an annual online gathering of Elves, Fae, Sidhe, Tuatha De Danann, and similar folk, where we can socialize and share our magic. We offer workshops/presentations that we hope will be of interest to this elven-faerie mish-mash, plus casual entertainment like video watch-alongs and games, as well as "always open" spaces for general chat and various topics. We also offer an off-season channel open the rest of the year for those who would like to keep in touch.

The gathering is held on the fourth weekend of March on our Discord server. Discord clients/apps are available for Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS/iPadOS, and Android, and it can also be accessed through a web browser. If you don't already have an account, you can create one here. If you need more help getting started, see our Discord guide (PDF, 3.37 MB).  

There is no entry fee to attend Shining Hearth, but attendance is limited to those aged 18 and over.
