FIREWALKING MINI RETREAT

Ritual to walk across 1000 degree hot coals. Please open and read the entire event description before RSVP. Bring your own tent or small camper, car camp, or just come for the day. There is also room for the first 6 guests to sleep in the small "glamping" camping shed onsite. There are rock formations, trails, grassy meadows, and gorgeous starry skies in a ponderosa pine forest. Near the San Isabel National Forest on 40 acres of private land.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND: Please RSVP to this meetup event, then please text Joy at 303-478-8814 with your full name and if you'd like to stay and need overnight lodging. The gate code is needed to enter the Ranch, which I'll text back to you.

WHEN: Saturday, March 28 at 10am, wrapping up around noon Sunday morning. If you are staying overnight, we plan on breaking camp and heading out by 11am Sunday. If you prefer not to camp, the firewalking ceremony should be over by 10pm.
EARLY ARRIVALS WELCOMED: If you want to help cut wood and make preparations, you're welcome to arrive Friday morning! Just let Joy know by text.

FIREWALKING: If there is no burn ban, we will have a firewalk on Saturday night. Preparations for firewalking begins Saturday afternoon, burning the bonfire as we ready ourselves to walk across hot coals, or support others as they attempt this personal challenge. Whether you firewalk or not, this will once again be a life changing experience of powerful transformation. NOTE: IF THERE IS A BURN BAN OR HIGH WINDS we will walk across broken glass instead. No minors please. We'll have a waiver to sign for anyone who wants to do more than just watch. If you have a drum or rattle, please bring it.

WHAT TO BRING/CAMPING INFO: If you wish to camp on Saturday night, bring your own winter tent or RV and camping equipment. Bring water, a camp chair, and food. We cannot cook over the sacred fire so if you need to heat food bring a camp stove. Dress for any weather. Bring a sun hat, sunscreen, and bug spray. Drums and rattles are a plus but not necessary. Bring your own shovel (or we have one to borrow) and toilet paper unless you have your own portable camping potty. This is a leave-no-trace event although a dumpster is available close by. Cell phone signal is very spotty, but is reliable about 5 miles down the road. This is a drug free event. Light, responsible alcohol enjoyment is welcomed when we are not in ceremony. Snacks and meals are often shared, so feel free to bring shareable items if desired or not, as you choose. We know everyone has unique dietary needs and preferences.
