Become A Certified Firewalk Instructor

The most comprehensive Firewalk Instructor Certification Training available.

A 7-day training qualifying you as a Celtic Fire Firewalk Instructor.

Our training will give you all the information, skills, tools and support you need to successfully share the firewalk in your own workshops and events, and to forge a deep and meaningful personal relationship with the element of Fire.

This course is uniquely placed to provide not only a practical skill base but also energetic guidance on how to work in harmony with Fire and the other elements to create truly meaningful experiences for your participants. You will be provided with all of the professional skills required, but this week-long immersion in the art and craft of holding space for rituals of release, transformation and healing is much more than a technical training,

During the training we will explore everything from wood types, fire building, coal beds, raking, tending fires and the energetic process of transformation at the heart of the firewalk ceremony, right through to risk assessments, insurance, venue practicalities, firewalk safety, presentation skills, and workshop timing.

The course is broken into modules covering all aspects of the firewalk, taking you from base principles and working up to special effects, running a firewalk for others and a spectacular graduation firewalk. The underlying intention of the training is to support you in finding and exploring your personal connection to the element of Fire, your capacity for channelling its transformative energy, and your authentic way of supporting others through these powerful rites of change.

We will give you as much personal experience with the fire as possible and guide you through the process of becoming the best equipped, most confident, capable and inspiring Firewalk Instructor you can be, with a comprehensive knowledge of all the intricate details that make the firewalk, board break, bar bend, glasswalk and arrow break such powerful tools for empowerment, growth and healing.

• Group sizes are kept small to ensure plenty of personal attention, but you will also assist and observe at a public firewalk as part of your training, to give you firsthand experience of the range of responses you can expect from your own groups.
• Learn how to create the perfect environment for a life changing moment
• Learn the skills of building, lighting and tending firewalks in any situation
• On certification you will be authorized to conduct firewalks, arrow breaks, rebar bends, glasswalks and board breaks with your own groups.
• You will be able to lead large groups of people over their fires, answer any questions and leave absolutely no trace on the ground.
• Ongoing support is also offered by email, phone and social media.

The course is taught by Oona McFarlane, who has led thousands of people over countless fires around the UK and abroad since 2004. Oona is also a Master Hypnotherapist, Master NLP Practitioner, Master Teacher of Reiki and SKHM healing, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, amongst other things.
