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

Events & Classes
Elemental Intelligence is a five week class series that may be taken as independent workshops, or as a full journey into the cosmology of elemental wisdom. Diving into the archetypal energies of Fire, Water, Earth, Mineral, Nature, Mineral, Air, and Ether you will deepen into your relationship with each one and learn how to see though the lens of the elements.
Join this Ancestral Healing Support Group to gather with a community of others who have are on the same path of Ancestral Lineage Repair as you are! During this 90 minute circle you are invited to share your experiences, questions, and reflections in regards to where you are on the journey.
The Brigid’s Flame Fire Walk is a ritual journey into the heart of the archetype of the triple Goddess. Brigid represents the convergence of three aspects; the fire of inspiration (poetry), the fire of the hearth (healing/fertility), and the fire of the forge (smithing). By invoking this goddess of the flame during the solstice time, the fire walk will serves as a physical manifestation of her "fire of inspiration," empowering women to move through their fears and emerge, like tempered steel, with a strengthened will and a renewed sense of their own divine creative potential.
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. The intent for the retreat is remember and embody our true nature by aligning with the nature of the jungle through elemental rituals and to emerge with a renewed sense of balance and power.
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.
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.
