Grandfather Fire speaks wisdom from the dawn of creation.

Ancient legends and sacred texts tell similar stories: when the human people faced tremendous challenges, Divine spirits would sometimes take physical form and offer the people guidance. Such a thing can be difficult for a Western mind to comprehend. But the pressures people face today have been building for a long time. From climate change to extreme social polarization to COVID, peoples’ need for guidance is so great it constitutes a “sacred essential.”

That’s why 20 years ago, the timeless essence of Fire began speaking to people everywhere through Don David Wiley, an elder medicine person in the Huichol tradition of Mexico. “Grandfather Fire” has spoken with thousands of people  who come to hear timeless wisdom and guidance about how to approach life’s challenges with courage and inner balance. Grandfather’s counsel and teachings help people move beyond fear and confusion so they can live Heart-aware lives of meaning and purpose.

Here’s more information about Grandfather Fire, including a video about “The Grandfather Phenomenon.”

Living from Heart is a fundamentally different way of approaching the world.

Grandfather Fire’s stories and lessons about the dynamic interplay of Heart and Mind have changed the lives of people all over the world. He cuts through doubt, confusion and illusion with a long-view perspective that delivers tried-and-true ways to find connection, compassion, learning, growth and healing. He’s wise, funny, provoking and astonishingly insightful. Release your expectations and open your heart to divine guidance, from the source.

You are invited to attend only the Sunday, Sept. 5 audience with Grandfather Fire if you choose.

Everyone who attends this event will be part of the general audience and will have the opportunity to ask Grandfather Fire questions and listen to his guidance about life, relationships, healing and how to live a life of meaning and purpose. If you would also like to hear the Story of Mt. Monadnock, plan to join us for a full weekend of ritual, community and connection.
