Members of Phoenix Rising regularly attend a monthly gathering called the Full Moon Jam in Chicago, where they can join several other poi spinning groups along Lake Michigan north of the city. The event draws crowds of around 200 people, including fire spinners, drummers, dancers and spectators. Members of Pheonix Rising are trying to develop something similar in Peoria.
