“Grandfather fire has called me to live more in my heart, to be open to so many possibilities, and most importantly, to always think how I can serve others. This ancient practice is both simple and profound.”~Warren

Mentoring Calls
As part of his sacred service, Don David Wiley dedicates monthly and bi-weekly mentoring and counseling sessions to those who lead organizations and endeavors sparked by Grandfather Fire—such as Sacred Fire and its many branches of spiritual work. Though his time is incredibly limited, Don David selflessly volunteers these sessions to ensure that the flame of Grandfather’s guidance continues to illuminate the path for others.
His mentorship helps anchor offerings like Firekeeping in alignment with Grandfather Fire’s wisdom. This support ensures that the reach of this medicine continues to expand, making it available to all who feel the call of Fire stirring within them.
Working closely with long-time community members such as Annie King—who has been instrumental in designing and implementing the Firekeeping training programs, facilitations, and retreats—Don David continues to weave together a living legacy of support, connection, and transformation.
He also offers regular mentoring to the Executive Director of Sacred Fire, helping navigate the complex responsibilities of leading such a revolutionary endeavor. Through this guidance, the sacred work of reigniting humanity’s relationship with the medicine of Fire is sustained and strengthened.
Additionally, Don David offers volunteer mentorship to the Tsantawu Men’s Council, which oversees the biannual rituals at Stone Mountain. These rituals are dedicated to cultivating relationship with the land, ancestral beings, and the seasonal rains—a vital act of reciprocity and spiritual stewardship.
Though unseen by many, these efforts are essential threads in the living fabric of spiritual reconnection that Don David helps sustain. His dedication is a reminder that true leadership is rooted in service, and that sacred work continues quietly and powerfully behind the scenes, fueled by love, commitment, and the wisdom of Fire.

Firekeeper Initiation 2025
2025-12-08 - 2025-12-12 | Casa Xiuhtecuhtli, La Presa 200, Tepoztlan, Morelos, 62520, Mexico
Transform Yourself. Transform Others. Transform the World.
Don David Wiley and Sacred Fire’s Firekeeping Director Sylvia Edwards will be leading this year’s Firekeeping Initiation at Casa Xiuhtecuhtli in Tepoztlán, Morelos, as initiates complete their sacred training and step into their role as keepers of the flame.
Firekeeping is an ancient spiritual path of dedication, guiding individuals and communities toward deeper connection with themselves, each other, and the wisdom of Grandfather Fire. Through an 18-month apprenticeship—including online study, in-person training, and ceremonial practice—initiates have cultivated facilitation skills, emotional intelligence, and profound personal transformation.
As newly initiated Sacred Fire Firekeepers, they will now lead monthly fire ceremonies, fostering heart-centered connection, sacred reciprocity, and the healing power of Fire. Supported by ongoing learning and a global community, these Firekeepers help restore balance in these changing times.
The Fire burns bright. The path continues.

Audience with Grandfather Fire:
A Sacred Culmination – December 2025
Wisdom from the Dawn of Creation
For 800,000 years, Grandfather Fire has been a teacher, healer, and keeper of sacred stories. Known as Tatewari to the Wixáritari people, He speaks through the vessel of Don David Wiley, offering guidance that illuminates the soul.
This December, as the Firekeeping initiation reaches its sacred climax, the newly trained keepers will gather in the holy valley of Tepoztlán for a profound and intimate Audience with Him. The evening begins with Grandfather Fire’s wisdom shared openly with the public—stories that stir the spirit, answers that reshape the heart. Then, in a private ceremony, the initiates will kneel before the living flame as Tatewari acknowledges their journey, blesses their path, and declares their training complete.
This is no ordinary fire. This is the voice of ancient wisdom, the light that has guided humanity since the first spark.
“His answer helped me more than the answer I was expecting.”
“What you experience with Grandfather is like an education for your soul.”
Come witness the sacred. Come feel the fire’s embrace. And for those called to keep the flame—may this be the moment your service begins.
Fire speaks. Will you listen?
Public are welcome for the open Audience; Firekeeper initiation portion is private.
