Staff signups are now open for Shining Hearth. We are looking for people to volunteer to moderate chat, to run the schedule, and to provide technical support for those who may be having trouble using Discord, getting streaming working, etc. You can select only one of those or any combination. The form is available here and will remain open through November 19.

Presenter signups for Shining Hearth are still open! We're up to four things planned and a few folks considering options. We are looking for about ten presentations total, so there's plenty of room still in the schedule. Presentations don't have to be a formal workshop; they can be roundtable discussion, a musical performance, even a craft demo - so long as the content is relevant to elfae folk. The form is available here and will remain open through December 31.

General registration for Shining Hearth is now open! The form is here.

We got enough presentations submitted to fill the schedule, but we would like to have a few backup workshops in case of presenters having to cancel. If you would be interested in being an alternate presenter, the form is still open here.

The preliminary schedule for Shining Hearth is now available on our website! Registration is open through March 16th. (Event dates: March 18th-20th)
