Sacred Hearth Friction Fire - "Journey With Fire" Offerings- 2023/2024
Current Offerings:
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:
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.
- 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!

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.
