we cannot become what we want
by remaing who we are.

Events & Classes
The Ancient Pathways School of Firewalking & Ritual Arts is the culmination of over two decades of firewalking and ritual practice. It is not just a school, but an experience steeped in the elemental intelligence of fire and the universal medicine of ritual. At APSF you will develop and hone your expertise as a ritual facilitator, a holder of sacred space, and an intermediary between the worlds of the seen and unseen. You will learn to be a stable catalyst for change and a grounded witness for transformation. As you learn the skills for facilitating fire walks, arrow breaks, rebar bends, and glass walks you will explore your edges and harness your own personal potential while supporting others to do the same.
Join us Sept. 14th to support the second cohort of AP Fire Walk & Ritual Arts Facilitators!
These facilitators -in-training will be leading their first public Fire Walk by bringing their skills and diverse backgrounds to this ritual space. They need participants to make this happen!
The Ancestral Lineage Repair process creates healthy and viable relationships with our vibrant ancestors, while working to heal inter-generational patterns and cultural wounding. Join Jen as she discusses the context, framework, and benefits of engaging in Ancestral Lineage Repair.
JThe October full moon is auspicious and loaded with potent energy. Aligned with the pagan new year known as Halloween (Samhain), this corridor of ritual work is brimming with potential. It is a time to reflect and release what energetically weighs on us so we can create more forward momentum in our lives. The ritual of an energetic cord cutting is a powerful technique to symbolize healthy release so we may renew ourselves from a place of integrity.
Join Jen as she guides this full moon cord cutting ritual through the lens of archetypes (warrior, lover, sovereign, and magician) and the elements. The flow of our evening will include discussion, meditative space with ritual, and time for optional sharing.
The traditional lands of the Maleku people in the Northern region of Costa Rica teems with wild vegetation and a non-stop symphony of jungle songs. From the trails of leaf cutter ants crisscrossing the forest floor to the barreling sounds of howler monkeys, the nature of Costa Rica is a constant mentor. True to animist values, all of life from the smallest river stone to the omnipresent Volcano Arenal holds wisdom, perspective, and presence that can support our evolution if we take pause to expand into these connections.
Aligning with the intelligence inherent in the elements of Fire, Water, Earth, Nature, and Air, this immersion retreat will nourish personal growth through attunement with nature via ritual arts, community connection, and reflective practices.
Ancestral Lineage Healing is the practice of relating directly with one’s blood ancestors for personal, family, and cultural healing. It was developed by Dr. Daniel Foor and involves safely establishing relationships with wise and well ancestors while enlisting their support to deeply heal ancestral lineages reaching far back in time.
During this 3 day immersion, we will dive into a ritual container centering around in-depth lineage repair. This work invites us to recognize and honor the gifts of our ancestors and repair wounds or disruptions that may have been inherited and passed down over time.
