Working with Fire
Lena guides us through a Shamanism Without Borders process on how to work with the element of fire, the importance of honoring this powerful element and how to be of assistance to those negatively effected.
Shamanism Without Borders (SWB) is a Global Response Network of the Society for Shamanic Practice. If you find this work meaningful and would like to get involved please visit shamanicpractice.org/swb. Here you will find free online training, how to become an SSP supported Shamanism Without Borders Community Leader and our Free Leadership Training Event this spring in Santa Fe, NM led by Jose and Lena Stevens.

Thank you Lena for this journey and teaching on Fire. I was particularly struck by your emphasis of the importance of our relationship with the elements, in this case fire–honoring it, feeding it, tending to it, providing what it needs–so it doesn’t have to “take what it needs” as you suggested is happening with the fires in Australia, how these fires mirror how out of balance we are with Nature and our relationships with the transcendent spirits of the land. Thank you. Sheldon
