Light A Fire

Have you ever felt disconnected, overhwelmed with all the day-to-day goings ons, or like you needed a recharge? Well you aren't imagining things! As we become more and more technologically based, move less, spend less time outdoors, and rarely have our feet in/on the earth, we are in fact likely to feel more disconnected, and in need of a "recharge".
