SUMMARY:GFF Recovery Day
DESCRIPTION:Don David is not available on this day.\nDon David Wiley as a Conduit of the God of Fire\nDon David Wiley serves as a powerful conduit of the God of Fire. During his intense work\, when Tatewarí takes control of his being\, he is swept into a transcendent state—his body’s temperature soars\, and he enters a trance-like condition reminiscent of a deep\, ceremonial sleep. Meanwhile\, Grandfather Fire spends the night offering his wisdom—constantly ingesting sacred hot cocoa and smoking sacred tabaco. In this state\, although Don David remains unharmed\, his physical body endures a heavy strain.\nWhen the night finishes and attendees leave\, his dedicated Recovery Team\, comprised of handpicked ritual support individuals\, plays a vital role. As the divine presence recedes and Grandfather departs from the physical realm\, this committed group guides Don David back into his body. The morning after the Grandfather Fires\, Don David awakens feeling discombobulated and spaced\, requiring time to reconnect with his extremities and regain a sense of physical presence. A strong hand on therapeutic session and a day of focused recovery are key to shaking off the residual ethereal numbness\, allowing him to reestablish strength\, clarity\, and focus. \nThough Don David often jokes about the challenges of navigating our physical form—humor that echoes Grandfather Fire’s own playful jibes at human bodies when using Don David’s body as a vessel to speak to us during an audience—the recovery process remains an essential part of his work. It ensures that the extraordinary service he offers—allowing others to listen to the wisdom shared by the God of Fire—stays balanced and true\, ultimately enhancing the profound healing he brings to those he serves.

SUMMARY:Audience with Grandfather Fire: Tsantawu
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed specialized audience hosted by the Tsantawu Coincil.\nAudience with Grandfather Fire: \nA Sacred Dialogue for Alignment & Divine Intention\nThe Audience with Grandfather Fire is a sacred gathering held at the backend of the Tsantawu Spring and Fall Rituals. \nIt is not a time for preparation\, but rather a moment of profound confirmation\, ensuring that all that has been done during the Rituals is in alignment with Divine intentions. This sacred dialogue is the final act that bridges the human efforts from the people gathered to honor this sacred site\, with the will of  Divine. \nDuring this sacred audience\, Don David Wiley offers his body to Grandfather Fire\, allowing Tatewarí to speak directly through him. As the conduit for this powerful force\, Don David is taken to the “workshop” and\, in that moment\, relinquishes control\, knowing that what will unfold is entirely in the hands of Grandfather Fire. He cannot anticipate or prepare for what will be spoken\, as the communication is beyond human foresight. Only after the Ritual Pilot delivers the rundown the following day does Don David understand the guidance shared during the session. \nThe Audience with Grandfather Fire is a time to trust the work that has been done. It confirms that everything — the prayers\, offerings\, songs\, and rituals — was in alignment with the greater purpose. It is a moment of surrender\, a time to receive divine feedback and guidance that ensures the sacred work has been completed in harmony with the natural world and the spirits that guide us. \nThis special gathering offers closure and clarity\, affirming that the Council’s sacred acts of service\, gratitude\, and reverence have met the mark and that they are walking the path in right relationship with the elements\, the ancestors\, and Divine. \nIt is a deeply humbling and awe-inspiring moment\, one that reinforces their commitment to serving and restoring balance in the region around Stone Mountain\, Georgia. USA.
