Each FearlessFlame workshop is custom-designed to meet your needs. We take into account the goals of
the workshop, the group dynamic, the location, the time available, and any other factors that are
important to you. Generally speaking, you should expect a workshop to last five or six hours. This
time follows a basic structure:
• Registration and introduction
• Some historical information about firewalking and exercises
• A discussion about the group's intentions
• Group Exercises
• Lighting of the fire (if a firewalk is taking place)
• Break
• A motivational lecture and explanation of exercises
• Firewalk and/or other challenges
• Closing process
• Debriefing and discussion after the experience.
The group exercises before the firewalk help participants to gain self-awareness, name their limitations and figure out
what they hope to accomplish through the day's exercises. This approach is based on the three basic principles for success:
being honest with where you are at, being honest about your goals, and being honest about your barriers. The exercises may
include visualization work, creating affirmations using the Four-Square Group Process (supportive work done in teams of four),
and other methods for gaining personal insight.
The challenges include firewalking, of course, but firewalking is not always a possibility, particularly during the colder
months of the year and in indoor spaces. Firewalking can also be an especially powerful experience when participants work up
to it by tackling other challenges first, if enough time is available. With this in mind, your group can choose to take on the
challenges of breaking a board, breaking an arrow using the muscles at the base of the throat, and bending a length of rebar(the iron bars used to reinforce concrete structures). |
