Expect the unexpected! In this five-hour workshop you'll re-define "limitations" and acquire a new awareness of the possibilities in your life — and access the power to fulfill them. You will observe or, if you choose to, participate in a variety of demonstrations and experiences that dramatically illustrate the power of focus, intention, commitment and trust. In fact, for many, the firewalk is not the most transformational event of the evening! Again and again we hear from participants that they experienced powerful and lasting breakthroughs in their lives. Such as...? One participant discovered that his musical abilities improved significantly, as he easily played pieces he'd previously found too difficult; a young triathlete credits the workshop for her first "First Place" win; a violinist said she accomplished a critically important solo performance completely without fear, and received the most incredible audience response of her life; one man said that next to the birth of his son, "Living Without Limits" was the most important night of his life!; a woman said her firewalk was the closest thing to bliss she'd ever experienced. See Testimonials. Just what is a firewalk? It's a walk (yes, barefoot) across a bed of hot coals, some of which may range from 600 to as much as 1,000 degrees F. Why would anyone do this? When we accomplish something that appears "impossible," we discover that we are more powerful than we had imagined. Living Without Limits is about so much more than walking across red-hot coals: It is about hearing and honoring our inner guidance; about distinguishing between the mind and the heart; about transcending beliefs and patterns that have held us back in our lives. What if I only want to watch? There is never any pressure to actively participate in any part of the workshop. The point is to experience your truth and follow it. We always honor each person's individual choice and path. We teach a simple process for paying attention to your inner guidance, that inner knowing that transcends fears and doubts, that knows what is right for you in the moment. For some participants this is the most powerful and practical thing they take from the workshop. How did this start? Firewalking has been in existence in virtually every culture and religion (see firewalking history). It has been used as an instrument of healing, empowerment, devotion, preparation for battle... its gifts are profound and varied. The contemporary western use of firewalking in empowerment workshops was pioneered by Tolly Burkan and Peggy Dylan in the late '70s. Since then, between 500,000 and 1,000,000 people have participated in various firewalk workshops and seminars worldwide.
