Teachings of the Fire Gathering 2023 - United Kingdom

Fire holds the knowledge intended for us as human beings

September 29th - Oct 1st, 2023 - UK

Join us for our third annual Teachings of the Fire Gathering this September and learn the connective unseen power of Fire and actively engage with this element for yourself - take your ability for connection to the next level. We offer this opportunity each year for people to deepen their relationship with Fire.

There are multiple ways in which the relationship between us and fire can be understood to support health and happiness for all life. This includes the everyday practical relationships, rites of passage, and the deeper spiritual awareness that can be developed with this powerful element in a ceremonial context. 

Within this event will also be the opportunity to quest upon the land either with Nature or Fire  

Sitting with the sacred elements of fire to seek and deeply reflect is a tradition as old as it is to be a human upon the earth. As part of Helpers Mentoring Societies' mission to help people connect on the deepest levels, we are offering teachings and practices to build stronger ropes of connection with fire, community ceremony, and the opportunity to undertake a personal overnight quest within that space.

Location: Bedfordshire, United Kingdom: September 29th - Oct 1st  2023

Facilitated by Feathers 

Camping and self-catering (a morning breakfast will be prepared for quest participants)  

Registration closes on Monday the 25th of September 2023.

Fire is understood to be a keeper of knowledge, and through tending this sacred element, a person can learn to work with true knowledge, in a healthy way. With this healthy connection, we can utilize knowledge to create well-being for all in this world. 

To tend the fire of your own life is a beautiful thing. The deep connection built with this sacred element is so transformative. This relationship changes us from the inside, and we will walk as a transformed individual with deeper connections and understanding of what it is to be alive and tend to the very fire of life itself.
