Sacred Fire Study Circle

Are you ready to transform your biggest challenges in life in only 5 days? During the next Sacred Fire gathering in November 2024 we take a deep dive inwards to connect with the 4 elements inside and outside of us. You will receive a broad diversity of teachings and do numerous activities to improve your connection to create mesmerizing Sacred Fires in the seen and unseen layers, according to the 7 directions, herbs, plants, offerings, crystals, animals, the medicine wheel, altars, sauna sessions & much more..

In ancient traditions, “Sacred Fires” held a revered place as sources of Divine energy and Spiritual connection, often tended by devoted Priests and Priestesses in temples dedicated to the Sacred Flame.

These mystical fires were believed to symbolize the presence of Gods and Goddesses, serving as conduits for communication between mortals and the Divine realm.

The benefits of tending to Sacred Fires were manifold; it was thought to bring Blessings, Protection, and Purification to the Community, as the Sacred Flames were seen as Purifiers of negative energies.

During ceremonies, Tribes would Gather around the Sacred Fire, offering Prayers, Incense, and Symbolic items as a means of seeking Guidance, Healing, or Divine intervention in their Lives.

The warmth and illumination provided by the Sacred Fires were not merely physical but were believed to Ignite Inner Spiritual Awakening and Enlightenment among the Faithful. The Sacred Fires served as a Unifying Force, Fostering a sense of Community and shared spirituality.

Altars, MedicineWheel & Circles

The Sacred Fires Study Circle is a gathering of seekers and scholars who come together to explore the spiritual significance of Ancient Flames, delving into the Cultural and Historical contexts of various Sacred Fires across civilizations. During this Study Circle we will take you on a journey through the 4 elements with the breath and meditation. We will do numerous activities to connect with these elements within and outside of ourselves, designed to Create and Balance our ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ Sacred Flame.

You will receive a broad variety of teachings about the Medicines of The Sacred Fire, Sananga, Rapé, Mapacho and Cacao, about their history & capabilities, how to prepare and apply them to fully access their gifts and connect with the Sacred Teacher Plants for us to improve our lives.

This Study Circle will start with a deep cleanse and guide you in chapters as the ‘4 element theory, meditation and 3 breath journeys’, you will learn how to build the Medicine Wheel and how to create Sacred Altars with the 7 directions represented. We create Circles with Rapé, Cacao, Sananga, Mapacho, Sharing, Singing, Praying, Drumming & Dancing. We will provide you with new tools that will benefit your daily life, for the rest of your life. Important to know that this is not a retreat to rest and that a lot of your energy and participation will be required during these days.

You will receive the teaching how to build an impactful Sacred Fire from scratch according to the 7 Directions and all aspects that are involved to make the Fire Sacred.

These Study Circles play a crucial role in preserving and disseminating knowledge about the symbolic importance of Sacred Fires, fostering a deeper Innerstanding of the Rituals, Beliefs, and practices associated with these Mystical Flames.

By creating a safe space for us to learn, Sacred Fires Study Circles not only enriched the participants’ spiritual journeys but also helped to ensure the continuity of Ancient Wisdom, keeping the Sacred Flames of Cultural Heritage alive for Future Generations.

Your Sacred Fire Guardian Yoeri

“Since I was a kid I have been making fires in our home garden and I had the freedom to do this throughout all my teenage years. The last years I have been studying how to create Sacred Fires and learned from different traditions during my travels with the Native American Church and the traditional Mayan way of making Temazcal Sacred Fires. In order to create these type of Sacred Flames there is a lot of Wisdom, Respect and Presence involved. With this Study Circle I am sharing and teaching my Tools, Tips and Perspective, so you will be able to host Ceremonial Sacred Fires after these 5 days. This Study goes very wide and deep according what my team and I have to offer to you. We are here to learn from each other and it all starts to know how to listen. Listen to ourselves, to each other and to the Wisdom of the Sacred Flames.”
