Knights of Starfire - OCTOBER meeting

The Location of our next Meeting: TBA

Announcement coming soon...

Knights of Starfire is a fellowship of full-hearted connection, holding a dream for men to live with powerful presence and experience the mythic depth of true purpose. We invite a space of opening, meeting, and tending, where we share our joys, struggles, gifts, and integrate the wisdom of a bigger story together.

When you join us, you can expect jovial song, intimate sharing of vulnerability, transformative encounters between psyche and soul, timeless myth telling, and the call to give and receive life-changing support.

We aim to inspire light and deeper service in today's world.

Facilitated by:

RAINER BAUMORR, TAJ O'BRIEN, & ADRIÁN OROZCO BLAIR

Rainer is a bardic storyteller and healing arts practitioner, who lives in Cascadia. He’s an active bodyworker and incorporates trauma-healing into his one-on-one coaching practice as he completes certification with Somatic Experiencing International. During his study of singing and music composition at Portland State University, his formal studies became woven with an avid exploration of myth. In 2022 he helped co-found The School of Mythopoetics and began his bardic practice, bringing story, song, and poetry to his local area and abroad. He took over as the head of The School of Mythopoetics in 2025.

Over the course of 17 years studying the healing arts, walking alongside many cherished collaborators, tended by many guides, teachers, and mentors, Rainer has followed a thread. That thread weaves in and out of something that is often stamped with the label "men's work.” Grieving, singing, and practicing how to be together in a heartful way is the most meaningful form of this work he’s yet encountered.

Taj is a community leader and educator who works with youth and adults, centering through song, story, and ritual. Since trekking the Himalayas two decades ago, being fed in ancient villages while immersed in the arts of Yoga and Meditation, he has been a committed student of Sanatana Dharma and Indigenous Wisdom. Taj is deeply involved in Waldorf education, and teaches at Heartsong Living Arts in the Gorge. He finds one of his greatest passions in the calling of Men’s Work, where he tends ancestral grief, village remembrance, and spirit-guided human development, feeling the magical leadership of love that shares most powerfully in realms of somatic connection and devotional song.

He is a beneficiary of many great teachers and mentors, belonging to the Tribe of the Sacred Heart and guided by the internal, eternal Guru. A child of the Cascadia bioregion, Taj honors his Celtic and Métis ancestry, and Salish, Chinook, Klickitat, and Yakama peoples where, with his Beloved Mana Rose, he resides along the Columbia Gorge on the outskirts of White Salmon, WA.

Adrián is a spiritual guide, facilitator, and psychotherapist whose work spans individual sessions, groups, and courses centered on grounded awakening — not a path of transcending or leaving this world, but of rooting our purpose and our love into the life we're here to live, so we can be the gift we are meant to be. He has a background as a licensed therapist and drama therapist, with experience across settings ranging from San Quentin State Prison to hospital-based work. More about his offerings can be found at www.adrianlove.com.

Adrián's spiritual roots are with the Sacred Heart, opened through a devotional path of truthfulness and openness to all of existence, and nurtured by the Hridaya Yoga tradition and his ongoing study within Thomas Hübl's lineage, through Timeless Wisdom Training and Global Social Witnessing with the Pocket Project. His devotion is to what he calls a culture of love between all beings — a vision that shapes how he shows up in every room, circle, and collaboration. He lives in White Salmon, WA, along the Columbia Gorge, with his fiancée Andrea.
