Spirit of the Wind

"What's Shining Hearth?" It's a free online gathering of Elves, Fae, Sidhe, and adjacent folk, held on Discord on the fourth weekend in March (March 27-29, 2026). The server and event are 18+ only. There are workshops and discussions, games and watch parties, music, and plenty of time just to hang out and chat. For more information, see our website.

Sign-ups to be Staff at Shining Hearth are now open! Our Staff moderators watch chat on the server to make sure everyone is abiding by our Code of Conduct, deal with any conflicts that may arise, and may be asked to assist with Presenter check-ins. We are well-staffed for the Americas this year, so are particularly seeking staff from UK/Europe and Australasia (or other places that align with those time zones) to support events happening at those times of the day. Applications will be accepted through March 2nd or while space is available. Sign up to be staff here.

Late Presenter sign-ups will be accepted for two more weeks, through February 13th. The Australasia block is still mostly open and there's a few slots open for UK/Europe. The Americas block is full at this time, but we also accept applications as backups in case someone has to cancel between now and March. (Please note that while you can apply with a brief description, that the deadline for final titles/descriptions is also February 13th. We recommend entering your final text into the form if you can.) Sign up to present here.

General registration is still open through March 26th. Register to attend here.
