A GUIDE FROM SCHOOL OF FIREWALKING
What is
firewalking?
A walk across embers within a learning process. Discover the difference between participating, training to facilitate and working with a team.
Firewalking training: DAIFWALKING ON EMBERS
One activity.
A purpose
for learning.
Firewalking involves walking across a bed of embers. At our school, the walk is part of an experience designed to explore how we respond to a challenge.
The activity can raise questions about confidence, decision-making and our relationship with a group. Learning develops through preparation and reflection; each person may interpret their experience differently.
School of Firewalking was founded by Charly Relaño and Sonia Rupérez. Their approach combines purpose, preparation and integration in their work with people and teams.

BEFORE CHOOSING A SCHOOL
Ask about
the whole process.
A photo of a fire does not explain a training program. Ask for the curriculum, the role of practical work, completion criteria and the conditions of the certificate.
Find out who teaches the sessions, what support they provide and how preparation of the setting is addressed. Ask about dates, language, investment and booking conditions too.
For a participatory experience, ask how the activity is introduced and how the choice to participate is respected. For a corporate program, explain your goals and team characteristics from the first conversation.
