01The calling

Step into spiritual pathwork that benefits people’s lives.

Since earliest times, in cultures and traditions around the world, Firekeepers have been trained to work with sacred Fire in a way that transforms peoples’ relationships with themselves, their communities and the mysteries of the natural world.

Facilitating these emotional and spiritual connections has been a respected role and seen as essential to the fabric of community-building for millennia.

02A lifelong journey

Firekeeping is a path of dedication.

With Grandfather Fire’s inspiration and guidance, Sacred Fire offers an in-depth training for Firekeepers that includes both online instruction and in-person facilitation study and practice.

After successfully completing their apprenticeship, Firekeepers receive an initiation into their new role. They begin leading monthly fire ceremonies that can open people’s hearts to nature’s spirits, sacred reciprocity, and Fire’s ancient wisdom.
