Firewalk ceremony

What is fire walking?

Firewalking is walking barefoot across a path of glowing hot coals about 6 metres long and 2 metres wide.
“Walking barefoot over hot coals,” says the mainstream-oriented person, “is not such an intelligent activity.” In itself, a correct statement. Fire walking is not a rational, useful skill.
Yet firewalking has been taking place for thousands of years. Increasingly, it is becoming integrated into today’s society.

Why is that?

A simple answer: because it does something good for people and humanity. Something that works, lives on. Over centuries, this ritual has proven itself again and again, and you can experience its power in Elaisa.

The idea behind the fire run

Unconsciously, what we do and who we are is dictated from our fears deep inside us. Fears we are not aware of define our actions and limit us in making decisions.
Firewalking is precisely about overcoming your fear which, in turn, should then demonstrate that fears actually only limit us in our personal growth.

From there, it develops a strength to make new moves, to take new steps, to take risks. Self-confidence is being developed. As such, Fire Walk can be a great trigger for real change in your personal development.

“Those who have once literally gone through the fire only know what they can handle and realise when problems arise that they once faced hotter fires.”

Firewalking is as old as mankind itself and is still actively experienced, anywhere in the world. American Tolly Burkan learned this ‘forgotten ritual’ from a Tibetan monk. He studied the phenomenon for 21 years and guided many companies, such as Microsoft, Medlife, Remax… into firewalking.
Due to its ever-growing success, he trained some people in the art of firewalking. One of these was Peggy Dylan, who brought firewalking back to Europe and also trained some people here. Within the Elaisa Team, we have trainers who are trained “fire-walk instructors” according to the teachings and school of Peggy Dylan.
They already successfully led hundreds of people across the fire path…

This unique life experience that will make you get to know yourself better and make your self-confidence grow.

Why over 800° hot coals ?

This is an experience that will never be forgotten. Whenever you are faced with difficult decisions, you think back to the strength you had then developed on your own to complete the seemingly impossible task of firewalking.
Perhaps this is one of the most difficult tasks you will ever complete together as a team. Collaboration and support are key here.
This is not magic, trick or attraction. It is an exercise that will challenge you to really experience wholeness.
When you are ready to take the step, you will discover that you have never been more aware of what you are doing.
The preparations have nothing to do with hypnosis or trance.
On the contrary, it opens your eyes, it confronts you with your own abilities.
You get to detach your ego and learn to really trust your ‘deeper self’.

This process can be challenging for yourself as well as for the group.
