Sourcing The Fire provides the opportunity for individuals to experience the power and wonder of a guided Day Walk/Medicine Walk. While a Day Walk can certainly be done alone, we have found that the benefits of having an experienced guide to see you through the process and hold space, to be invaluable.
​
Individuals who participate can expect to dedicate one afternoon, camp overnight, and spend the next day from sunrise to dusk, on their walk.
​
The process of the ceremony is simple and draws its inspiration from the stages of the Vision Fast:
​
You will meet in the afternoon with a guide(s) and go over safety and logistical concerns, after which you will be offered some teachings regarding learning from the land, and the Four Shields of Human Nature. A significant portion of time will then be spent honing and setting your intention for your walk.
​
The next morning you will rise at dawn, and be ceremonially put out on the land for your walk. You will take with you only water, emergency food, and perhaps a journal or other materials that might serve your journey.
​
Upon returning at the end of the day, you will have the opportunity to share the story of your walk, and have the telling mirrored back to you by a guide, further deeping your understanding of your time on the land.
