Fire Walking: Awaken the Ancient Spirit
Fire Walking and Arrow Breaking Experience
Only for Solskin 2025
As part of the programme this year, everyone with a weekend ticket can experience this ancient rite. Take what you have gained or overcome from Strength (Fri) and what you have learnt with Wisdom (Sat) and have the Courage (Sun) to walk the embers completing your personal journey on The Warriors Call
Included in the price of your ticket, the fire walking experience invites you to walk barefoot across a path of burning embers—a challenge that may seem impossible, but is fully achievable with the right mindset and preparation.
Symbol of Courage
For thousands of years, fire walking has been an ancient practice of many cultures around the world. It is a powerful symbol of courage, transformation and spiritual connection.
What to Expect from the Sacred Firewalking Ceremony
Step into a powerful and transformative journey at our Sacred Firewalking Ceremony, where all are welcomed with open arms and supported in this ancient rite of passage.
As the ceremony begins, you’ll be guided through a series of exercises around the fire designed to awaken your inner strength and prepare you for the walk ahead. Together, we’ll set personal intentions for the experience, connect with the group, and immerse ourselves in the primal rhythms of music and movement. This sacred preparation will help you tap into the optimal energy space needed to walk across the glowing hot coals.
Each participant will have the opportunity to walk at least once across the coals, though we aim to offer you up to three chances to embrace this powerful moment. As we explore the theme of courage throughout the ceremony, you’ll also be invited to break through your perceived limitations by taking part in the symbolic arrow-breaking exercise, a challenge that further solidifies your transformation.
The entire experience lasts between 3 and 4 hours, depending on the number of participants and weather conditions. Throughout this time, we’ll remain together in a sacred circle, honouring the elements, our ancestors, and the powerful energies that guide us.
Join us in this unforgettable ritual and discover the strength that lies within you.
