Fire gave birth to civilization as we know it.
It is the fundamental element in cooking, heating, lighting, purifying, forging tools, and powering villages. Without fire, you literally wouldn’t be here. Tasked with the role of keeping this knowledge alive, it was the firekeepers that enabled families to thrive.
Yet despite the critical role of fire in our lives, we find ourselves dependent on modern forms of ignition that create a false sense of security and are detrimental to the planet. But what happens when the power goes out?
How resilient are we as a culture when our primitive firekeepers are few and far between?
Some of you dream of going off-grid and living more sustainably but without the knowledge of primitive fire, you will always be tied to a system that profits from your lack of power.
This is why fire is the ultimate teacher. It wakes up a power lying dormant in your DNA that is your innate birthright. When you can make fire with nothing but your bare hands and materials from the land, you realise that you are capable of much more that you’ve been told.
In this workshop, we will help you to reclaim the lost art and skill of primitive fire-making that sustained our communities for millennia. By investing in a relationship with this divine ally, you will begin to meet your true power as an earth-connected human being.

Learn how to create fire by friction using the hand drill technique

Learn basic carving skills and knife safety
Participate in a fire-inspired Winter Solstice ceremony
Practice sensory awareness skills for deepening your understanding of and connection to the natural world
