Walking With Fire
Connect with the ancient wisdom of Grandfather Fire in this unique online gathering space. Through selected teachings and meaningful conversation, participants explore timeless insights that can transform their daily lives.
A Journey of Discovery
Walking With Fire isn’t about reaching a fixed destination or finding absolute answers. Instead, it’s an invitation to experience the world through an ancient lens—one that our ancestors embraced thousands of years ago as they gathered around sacred fires for light, warmth, and spiritual connection. This primordial relationship with Fire as a Spirit continues to illuminate our connection to the mysterious web of life.
The Experience
In each session, participants:
- Listen to selected teachings from Grandfather Fire
- Share personal reflections and experiences
- Engage in heart-centered dialogue with other participants
- Discover how Fire’s wisdom can help in their own lives
This relational approach to receiving wisdom helps integrate these teachings more deeply into our lives. Rather than seeking “right” answers, we explore how Fire’s wisdom already flows through our individual experiences—what we call “knowing”—insights that resonate deeply with our true nature and life purpose.
Benefits
Through Walking With Fire, participants often discover:
- Deeper joy and inner peace
- Enhanced gratitude for life
- Practical wisdom for daily challenges
- Meaningful connections with fellow participants
- A renewed sense of purpose and direction
Join us in this transformative journey as we walk with Fire, embracing an ancient wisdom that remains vitally relevant to our modern lives.

Jonathan Merritt is a mara’akame, a traditional shamanic healer in the lineage of the Huichol people of Mexico’s Western Sierra Madre. Jonathan has been walking this healing path for twenty-four years. After a six-year apprenticeship under the guidance don Eliot Cowan, he was initiated in a traditional ritual by the great Huichol healer, don Jose de la Cruz Sandoval. He belongs to El Grupo Tatewari, a circle of Western Mara’akate who work together under the leadership and teaching of don David Wiley to deepen our path and perspective, to bring healing and wise counsel to our people.
Healing in the Huichol tradition addresses the spiritual roots of illness and works to restore balance in our lives. As a Western mara’akame, Jonathan provides healing and wise counsel for physical maladies as well as spiritual illnesses, such as isolation, disconnection and dislocation, depression, spiritual emptiness, lack of meaning and purpose, that don’t commonly exist among the Huichols.
Jonathan is also an initiated Fire Keeper under the auspices of Sacred Fire (www.sacredfire.org). Married with three children, he keeps a Community Sacred Fire in Portland, Oregon.
