Empowerment isn't just the latest pop-psychology buzzword. It's a state of being in which a person is deeply in touch with the connections between their mind, body and soul.

FearlessFlame empowerment workshops are given in the tradition of modern firewalking, which itself is an adaptation of an age-old spiritual practice common to many cultures throughout the world. We use time-honoured techniques to help participants face their fears and come out feeling powerful, capable and confident. Our activities aren't extreme sports or competitions--they're profound ways to break through your personal barriers and discover your own strength.

We encourage participants to be self-aware--to be honest with themselves about where they are, what they want to be and what barriers are preventing them from reaching those goals. This helps people to recognize their belief patterns and find ways to break through them.

Many fears are instilled in us when we're young: fire burns, sharp points pierce, hard objects hurt. For many of us this lesson goes in very deeply, and includes not only the fear of actual fire, but also of the fire of our own passions, desires and dreams. When you face these obstacles through the fire and overcome them in a physical, tangible way, all of a sudden fear becomes a force that you can master!

We hope you'll come out of a FearlessFlame workshop having discovered your courage, and feeling great about yourself and your accomplishment. But even if you don't feel ready to take on the challenges we set up for you that day, the process of looking at yourself and naming your barriers in a supportive and non-judgmental environment can be powerfully transformative.
