The most comprehensive Firewalk Instructor Certification Training available: a 7-day training qualifying you as a Celtic Fire Firewalk Instructor.
Our training will give you all the information, skills, tools and support you need to successfully share the firewalk in your own workshops and events, and to forge a deep and meaningful personal relationship with the element of Fire.
This course, run by a Firewalk Instructor with over two decades' of experience in sharing the firewalk is uniquely placed to provide not only a practical skill base but also energetic guidance on how to work in harmony with Fire and the other elements to craft truly meaningful experiences for your participants. Oona is also an experienced therapist in a range of energetic, somatic and psychotherapeutic modalities, and this training is a holistic, trauma-informed process aiming to provide support as well as challenge for both participants, and the communities they intend to share the firewalk with on completion.
During the workshop we will explore everything from wood types, fire building, coal beds, raking, tending fires, venue practicalities to firewalk safety, presentation skills and workshop timing. We will give you as much personal experience with the fire as possible and guide you through the process of becoming the best equipped, confident, capable and inspiring Firewalk Instructor you can be, with a comprehensive knowledge of all the intricate details that make the firewalk such a powerful tool for transformation. Places are limited to ensure plenty of personal attention. On certification you will be authorized to conduct firewalks, arrow breaks, rebar bends, glasswalks and board breaks with your own groups.
The core syllabus will be taught from Saturday 2nd May through to Friday 8th, but there will be an introductory evening session on Friday 1st, and the option to stay on and assist/observe at a public firewalk on Saturday 9th (both of which are recommended, and are included at no extra charge)
Ongoing support is also offered by email, phone and social media.
