"Ritualize it" aka "From Rags to Ritual"

This presentation will give you many clear, easy to implement ways to add more depth and meaning to your activities. There are numerous, time tested ways to add gravitas, emotional energy, process and power to all of our activities. Not just the firewalk but everything you do in an event.

"The Fire Trip: Walking with Set, Setting, and Ceremony"

Join Dominick Pugliese for this special talk on firewalking as a “trip”.  We’ll explore how ceremonial preparation can build anticipation, hone intentions, and deepen the practice of firewalking in exciting and unexpected ways.  We’ll discuss how preparation for other ceremonies – fasting, going on special diets, paying attention to dreams, shamanic journeying, journaling, etc – can teach us about preparing for a firewalk.

"Charity Firewalks"

Charity firewalks are relatively common in the UK, but seem to be less so elsewhere. Let’s have a discussion about how charities can benefit from sponsored events and why they’re worth running for you. I’ll discuss some differences you might you want to consider from a corporate or spiritual event and give some fundraising ideas. I’d love input from those who have hosted charity events in the past, or are considering offering them. My aim is to host a good discussion about the different ways to do this and to share knowledge.
