Safety & Stewardship

Our Safety Protocols

Safety isn’t an afterthought — it’s woven into everything we do. We follow proven best practices and maintain a clear, calm container for the work.

• Qualified instructors: All firewalks are led by certified Master Firewalk Instructors with extensive hands-on training.
• Pre-walk briefing: Orientation covers mindset, breathwork, consent, what to expect, and when to opt out.
• Wood preparation: Seasoned woods are selected and managed to create a consistent ember bed.
• Walkway design: The path is leveled, raked, and inspected repeatedly to remove hazards.
• Foot care: Wash stations and natural salves are available before and after the walk.
• Readiness: First-aid kit, water, and facilitator check-ins are present throughout the event.

Wood Selection & Preparation

Quality fuel equals a quality walk. We typically use local woods (e.g., cedar or birch) that burn down to even, glowing coals with minimal smoke. The team tends the fire from ignition through rake-out, spreading coals to an even depth and removing sharp edges.

We avoid treated lumber and construction scraps. Unused wood is returned to the land, reflecting our commitment to mindful stewardship.

Risk Management & Consent Culture

Firewalking is powerful work and always optional. We emphasize sovereignty and clear choice.

• Choice: You decide if and when to walk. Witnessing is equally honored.
• Boundaries: We invite clear yes/no and model how to communicate limits.
• Emotional support: Facilitators are available for check-ins before and after the walk.
• Accessibility: Alternatives like glasswalk, board breaking, and arrow snapping are offered.

By treating the fire with reverence and centering consent, we create a safe container for genuine breakthrough.
