Firekeeping Initiation 2025 - This sacred gathering at Casa Xiuhtecuhtli in Tepoztlán, Morelos, México marks the culmination of an 18-month journey, as initiates complete their training under the guidance of Don David Wiley and Firekeeping Director Sylvia Edwards. Through deep study, ceremony, and personal transformation, they prepare to step into their role as keepers of Grandfather Fire—tending flames that heal, connect, and renew. Join them in spirit as they honor their commitment to this ancient path, as they begin serving their communities with monthly fire circles and sacred reciprocity. Fire awaits its keepers.
Audience with Grandfather Fire, Tepoztlán, December 2025 - At the sacred culmination of their training, our Firekeeping initiates will kneel before living flames to receive Tatewari's blessing. Grandfather Fire - ancient teacher and keeper of wisdom - will acknowledge their journey and declare their readiness to serve as sacred flame keepers. This rare Audience offers more than ceremony; it's a transmission of primordial wisdom. As the fire crackles with answers to soul-deep questions, witness how 800,000 years of guidance still illuminates our modern hearts. Public welcome for the open wisdom sharing; initiation portion reserved for graduating Firekeepers. The flames await.
Recovery Day: Honoring the Sacrifice and Service of Don David Wiley
During Recovery Days, Don David Wiley is not available for sessions or events. These days are dedicated to his vital recovery after serving as a conduit for the God of Fire. Each time Grandfather Fire calls him into the ether, Don David endures intense physical strain as his temperature rises and he enters a deep trance-like state. This powerful process comes with great risk, as he channels sacred wisdom from Divine to share with others.
