This discussion was inspired by an email that came into our Warrior Goddess inbox and was recorded over the Summer Solstice 2022 while we were in Teotihuacan, Mexico. The question: “How are you relating to fire now that you have had the wildfire?” During this candid chat with my student and apprentice, Sarina, we talk about being firewalk instructors, aligning with wildfire destruction, and grounding into our being while navigating loss.
