Sacred Hearth Friction Fire - "Journey With Fire" Offerings- 2023/2024

Picture
Current Offerings:
  • Introduction to Friction Fire 
  • Friction fire for use in ritual/holistic practice  
  • Neid Fire - exploring the Neid Fire Ritual and building/using a Fire Churn
Experiences will be run outside in woodland in Bristol, UK (under parachute canopy if raining) for small groups
Tools and materials will be provided.  You will need to wear suitable outdoor clothing and outdoor shoes - walking boots and packed lunch for the 1 day experience.
SHFF is a passion (and not a full time business) so I will only run a small number of experiences each year - first come first served!
​
I will also consider:
​being hired by groups/festivals/gatherings to run workshops.
facilitating a fire ritual 
Please contact Ian to discuss further. 
Sacred Hearth Friction Fire is based in Bristol, UK 
 I do not teach friction fire in a bushcraft context - there are plenty of skilled bushcraft practitioners already doing that. Currently there is no /very limited teaching of friction fire tailored for ritual/sacred/holistic practice which I am here to address!

Previous Collaborations:

I have been sharing my skills informally since I first learnt in 2014. I've held various talks and workshops for local groups in Bristol and as part of other events over the last few years. These are two  collaborations I have done in the last few years.

Sacred Hearth has been part of a beautiful annual community gathering called  Erti-Suli (2018 to 2021) where I offered my fiery magic including:
  • The Ancestral Fire workshop - exploring our connection with Fire
  • Teaching the bow drill to welcome fire.
  • How Rabbit Stole Fire - introducing the children to fire through story and theatre!

We also used the fire churn as part of a beautiful and powerful fire ceremony to light the opening fire; which was then kept alight during the event.

I've also been involved with "Nomad - Journey with Purpose", which is run by my good friend Tom, helping Tom integrate my approach with fire into Tom's offering. . Nomad was born out of a desire to do something different with outdoor education. Nomad offer journey retreats for adults which have a unique style that work towards reconnecting with nature, visiting ancient ways and story, journeying in a humble and beautiful way, and diving deep within ourselves to unlock something extraordinary.
