Michael McDermott Obituary (Died Nov 17th, 2009

Just found out that one of my two Firewalk Teachers died on November 17th, 2009 of pancreatic cancer.

Here is the poem they read at his memorial.

THE FINAL FLIGHT Don’t grieve for me, for now i’m free, i’m following the path god laid for me. I took his hand when I heard his call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I’ve found that peace at the end of the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes,these things too I will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one’touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to breif, Don’t lengthen it now with undue greif. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.

San Diego’s Empowerment Day (March 21st, 2010)

In many cultures around the world, the entire community Firewalks once a year as an annual celebration of renewal and empowerment.

The People of San Diego will have the same opportunity to walk on a bed of hot coals this March 21st, 2010.

Have you heard about Firewalking at personal growth seminars and corporate training events? This style of Firewalking training is less than 30 years old and an amazing technique to help people wake up to their full potential. (We put on those same type of events, too).

Firewalking as a cultural and spiritual event has existed for thousands of years. This Firewalk is in the spirit of these traditions, specifically the Huna “Umu Ki” Ceremony. This is not a seminar, rather a community celebration. People from all walks of life are invited to this no matter what their background, or what their dealing with in life. Come have fun, connect with other like minded people, and be empowered. It is only through our affiliation and relationship with our community or tribe that we find true power.

The timing of this Firewalk celebration, just after the Vernal Equinox and the 1st day of Spring, marks the the “New Year,” in both the Persian and Huna communities.

A potluck will be earlier in the day, followed by a Firewalk in the evening.

The suggested donation is $20 per person to help with costs. (You can bring your children if they are responsible and well behaved) 

Date: Sunday March 21st, 2010

Time:

Gathering/Potluck: 5-6pm
