Firewalking

"Challenge your beliefs - Ignite your potential!"

Follow in the footsteps of ancient warriors who used firewalking as a tool to overcome their inner enemy – fear. This time-honoured rite of passage remains a powerful tool to challenge unsupportive belief systems and conquer fears.

We learn that the real obstacle is not the fire – but rather the beliefs held about the fire. Once these unsupportive beliefs are conquered, we can move beyond our fears.

Moving passed those initial fears takes an understanding of how the mind works. Understanding the workings of the mind, we can then learn how to control our thoughts and the mind’s instinctive responses to stimuli, ideas, thoughts and events.

The firewalking experience creates a motivated, confident mindset among people who believe in themselves and are an invaluable asset to any business. Through the firewalking process, participants shift their own self-limiting beliefs – “If I can do this…then what else is within my reach?”

As a business team-building exercise, sharing the firewalking experience builds a profound sense of camaraderie and a deeper understanding of one another. Having experienced the euphoria of conquering their inner doubts and overcoming fears and trepidation, delegates experience a new level of self-belief and rapport with one another.

“I must thank you for all of the encouragement you gave us and the very good and professional atmosphere you created during the firewalking experience. My team enjoyed your kind and direct way of leading each and every person to confront his/her limits. The experience showed us the great power of the mind, the importance which personal conviction has in what you can do and achieve everything that you set for yourself. – Patrick Barber – Sales Director, Goscor Lift Truck Company

“Kerry van Huyssteen, Owner of Ember Connect, facilitated a fire walking experience for one of our Leadership Programs at The Unlimited. Her knowledge and skill in taking us through this amazing experience was by far the very best we have experienced to date and as a business we have hosted over 50 fire walks as part of one of our Leadership Programs. She was very professional in her approach. Her use of humour and story-telling along with her enthusiasm, energy and encouragement got all our people excited and enthusiastic about their experience as opposed to fearful and anxious. We all had an amazing experience and can’t wait to use Kerry again.

Thank you to you and your husband Kerry, for making our time with you so memorable!” – Love – The Unlimited
