Question 1

What exactly is a Firewalk?

Accepted Answer

Participants will undergo training of around one hour. When the fire has burned to red-hot embers it is raked level and prepared for the walk. Participants go to the fire, remove their footwear and one by one are invited to walk the coals.

Question 2

Is it a trick?

Accepted Answer

No – the fire is very real. The embers will be glowing red-hot and we can often measure the temperature at around 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. You will have bare feet, and they will not have been treated in any way.

Question 3

Will it hurt?

Accepted Answer

The sensation is described by some as walking on eggshells, and others as walking on hot sand. Each walker has his or her own experience. We have not known walkers to experience pain and when the opportunity arises many will walk across the coals more than once.

Question 4

How should I prepare?

Accepted Answer

There is no preparation  & no treatment of the feet or mental exercise, just the training provided at the seminar. You should abstain from the consumption of alcohol or drugs prior to the event. Please ensure your feet are clean and free from massage and pedicure oils.

Question 5

How fit do I need to be?

Accepted Answer

There is no strenuous physical exercise involved. If you can walk normally then you should manage the Firewalk perfectly well. If you have any doubts please consult your GP before attending.

Question 6

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Casual comfortable clothes are best. Please remember fires can be quite dirty and clothes may become ash stained. Footwear needs to be easy to remove and will need to be replaced before going back indoors so a hand towel might be a good idea.

Question 7

Are there any medical restrictions?

Accepted Answer

We have many people walk who diabetes, are stroke survivors, and are blind amongst many other conditions. None have been an issue; however we always recommend if in doubt seek advice from your doctor.

Question 8

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

There is an inherent risk in any activity involving fire. It is important that participants pay attention to all the training and heed the advice and instruction of the trainer, firewatchers and spotters. Whilst absolute safety is not guaranteed proper procedure reduces risk to the achievable min.

Question 9

Will I be hypnotised?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no hypnotism involved. You will be fully awake at all times – indeed you will be more alert than usual. You may also withdraw at any time if you wish.

Question 10

What about age restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Participants must be adults over the age of 18.  Proof of age will be requested at registration at the event.
