Through Francesco’s guidance, the fire became a mirror, a teacher, and a doorway back into myself. I felt a depth of grounding and clarity that I haven’t experienced in years.” - Chris-------“It is rare to find spaces where shared values are reinforced simply through being together. Around the fire, we touched something ancient and deeply human. The training nurtured unity, mutual respect, and a feeling of being part of something meaningful — something our modern world desperately needs. - Claudia Conclave-------“I was captivated by the way Francesco teaches — the beauty, the clarity, the tools, the skills, the presence. Truly inspiring.” — Rachel-------“Do not think twice about doing this training... It's a beautiful thing to learn about the archetypal energies and ancestors who have stood around the fire in the same way that we did... Francesco is a steady, inspiring teacher, providing a safe frame to learn in and truly embodying his wisdom” - Maggie https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/36968990-de84-11f0-91ba-d3d0a513804e-rimg-w990-h740-dc301309-gmir.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY22KEv2kA8&feature=youtu.beFinancial Exchange: £275Early Bird - £240 ( valid ill 2th Jan 2026)Includes:12-hour immersive fire trainingAll Fire-wood and materialsBasic take-away Firekeepers-ToolkitTea and simple snacks throughout the daySimple Lunch (Organic Soup and Bread)Evening Fireside SessionThis training is offered as a trial hybrid model between The Salisbury Centre’s Community Empowerment Programme (focused on accessibility) and a partnership between the facilitator and the Centre.While the training has a standard participation cost (partly due to the high cost of firewood required), a limited number of subsidised places are available for Salisbury Centre community members who can bring back this skill into community building application.Subsibized SpacesPlease email to make a request for a subsidized place (fully funded or partial discount based on your means).
