What is firewalking?
It's the practice of walking barefoot on hot embers. A firewalk is designed to help transform fear and inspire people to do things they didn't think possible. It can show you that there is more to reality than you think. That many limitations we experience in life are self-imposed.
What happens on the night?
You will receive firewalk training before the challenge. The training is based around proven motivational and psychological methods. It doesn’t involve any elements of hypnosis, spiritual training, ‘brainwashing’, voodoo or any similar methodologies. It’s great fun and not only will it help you with your firewalk, but these are exercises that you can do at any time in your life when you need some oomph. The instructor is a world-class authorised Blaze ’Fire Master’ Instructor who has undergone a minimum of 200 separate firewalking events at different locations at different times of the year. Timings: 5pm arrival and registration of firewalkers, 5.30pm 90 minute training session begins, 6pm spectators arrive, 6.30pm fire will be lit, 7pm firewalk starts 7.30pm debrief and celebration, 8pm event closes.
I have a medical condition, will I be able to firewalk?
We do everything we can to be as inclusive as possible. If you need support when walking on the firewalk that is what we are here for. One of the company's team walks beside every firewalker and if needed we can have someone on either side if you wish. If we need to adapt the firewalk to enable you to take part, we can talk about all the options.
Does it hurt?
We wouldn’t firewalk if it were painful but we must remember everyone’s firewalking experience is unique.
There are physical reasons why firewalking is possible, and these will be explained during the training. We’ll also tell you about firewalking myths. There are lots of them! The hardest thing to overcome is the fear of taking the first step as it is a new experience.
