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 hands-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:Continuous Education Prep - Traditional Medicine Paths
DESCRIPTION:Curriculum design & planning\nBridging the vast and often forgotten ancestral wisdom of indigenous traditions with the Western modern world is a monumental task in itself. Yet Don David Wiley has taken on this sacred mission\, facing countless ongoing challenges to design and deliver programs that are not only tangible and replicable\, but that carry the weight and authenticity of true spiritual teachings.\nWhat makes this even more profound is the care with which Don David ensures that what is shared is exactly what needs to be shared—stripped of anything superfluous or misleading\, and offered with clear intention. He has had to navigate the assumptions and filters of contemporary\, educated minds\, which often believe they already understand how life works. In contrast\, Don David invites students to unlearn\, to return to a deeper way of knowing rooted in direct relationship with Divine\, nature\, and the sacred. \nMuch of this knowledge was originally passed down through oral tradition—shared from one generation to the next\, in sacred trust. Don David has found powerful ways to bring these teachings into the modern world without compromising their essence. Surfing between realms\, he draws what is needed from the intangible into the tangible—bridging spirit and form with clarity and purpose. \nAfter his intense training\, apprenticeship\, and initiations with living teachers in both the Nahua and Wixárika traditions\, Don David has now successfully trained the first generations of Western shamanic healers: Tepahtiani & Mara’akate. These pioneers have taken their place in the living web of healing and service. \nToday\, Don David is supported by a devoted team in both traditions—people who are helping him structure what can now be recognized as a curriculum of spiritual training. These teachings span different levels of commitment and engagement\, guiding those whose souls are being called back to the basics: to ancestral knowledge\, lived wisdom\, and real practices that can restore balance\, not only within individuals\, but across communities\, lands\, and generations. \nWe offer our deepest gratitude to Don David’s teaching assistants\, who provide him with invaluable support and help carry this great work forward. A heartfelt shout-out to each of you—for the unseen and sacred service you embody. \n

SUMMARY:In Service: Voluntary Mentorship & Guidance
DESCRIPTION:Mentoring Calls\nAs 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.\nHis 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. \nWorking 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. \nHe 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. \nAdditionally\, 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. \nThough 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.

SUMMARY:In Service: Voluntary Mentorship & Guidance
DESCRIPTION:Mentoring Calls\nAs 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.\nHis 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. \nWorking 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. \nHe 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. \nAdditionally\, 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. \nThough 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.

SUMMARY:Firekeeping Call
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed specialized offering.\nHosted by Sacred Fire: Firekeeping.\nDon David Wiley: Guardian of the Ancient Flame\nA Life of Devotion to the Sacred Path of Firekeeping\nDon David Wiley was the very first person trained by Grandfather Fire to become a Firekeeper. Since that profound beginning\, he has played a central and irreplaceable role in rekindling the ancient practice of Firekeeping in the modern world. Guided directly by Grandfather Fire\, Don David has walked this sacred path with humility and unwavering dedication\, serving as the primary spiritual guide for those being called to answer Fire’s invitation. \nThrough decades of commitment\, Don David has helped shape the emergence of a living Firekeeping tradition that now spans multiple continents. His personal journey—marked by countless ceremonies\, initiations\, and spiritual challenges—has become the foundation upon which others are able to walk. He has trained\, initiated\, and mentored Firekeepers throughout the world\, offering spiritual support and guidance as they deepen their relationship with Fire and step into service within their own communities. \nThis entry honors the private time Don David sets aside to connect directly with Firekeepers—offering counsel\, wisdom\, and spiritual direction to help them navigate the challenges of this sacred responsibility. In an era where meaning is easily lost and connection is fleeting\, Firekeepers are asked to hold space for others in a way that is spiritually grounded\, emotionally aware\, and in communion with the sacred. Don David’s guidance is a vital source of strength and clarity for these individuals\, many of whom are serving their communities through monthly consecrated fire gatherings. \nFirekeeping is not simply a role; it is a lifelong path of service and transformation. Those called to it are entrusted with an ancient responsibility: to tend the sacred Fire that reminds us who we truly are\, and to keep alive a lineage of spiritual connection that has served humanity since time immemorial. \nThrough his ongoing mentorship\, Don David fulfills what Grandfather Fire asked of him: to help restore balance\, meaning\, and relationship to a decaying and disoriented modern society—not through doctrine\, but through direct experience\, sacred relationship\, and the heart-opening presence of consecrated Fire. \nTo learn more about the path of Firekeeping or to explore whether you are being called\, please contact Sacred Fire.

In contrast\, Don David invites students to unlearn\, to return to a deeper way of knowing rooted in direct relationship with Divine\, nature\, and the sacred. \nMuch of this knowledge was originally passed down through oral tradition—shared from one generation to the next\, in sacred trust. Don David has found powerful ways to bring these teachings into the modern world without compromising their essence. Surfing between realms\, he draws what is needed from the intangible into the tangible—bridging spirit and form with clarity and purpose. \nAfter his intense training\, apprenticeship\, and initiations with living teachers in both the Nahua and Wixárika traditions\, Don David has now successfully trained the first generations of Western shamanic healers: Tepahtiani & Mara’akate. These pioneers have taken their place in the living web of healing and service. \nToday\, Don David is supported by a devoted team in both traditions—people who are helping him structure what can now be recognized as a curriculum of spiritual training. These teachings span different levels of commitment and engagement\, guiding those whose souls are being called back to the basics: to ancestral knowledge\, lived wisdom\, and real practices that can restore balance\, not only within individuals\, but across communities\, lands\, and generations. \nWe offer our deepest gratitude to Don David’s teaching assistants\, who provide him with invaluable support and help carry this great work forward. A heartfelt shout-out to each of you—for the unseen and sacred service you embody. \n

SUMMARY:In Service: Voluntary Mentorship & Guidance
DESCRIPTION:Mentoring Calls\nAs 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.\nHis 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. \nWorking 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. \nHe 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. \nAdditionally\, 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. \nThough 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.

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:Tsantawu Prep Camp
DESCRIPTION:A specialized\, closed program offered by the Tsantawu Council.\nSACRED STONE MOUNTAIN SPRING OR FALL CEREMONIES – PREP CAMP\nRitual Team Prep Camp: A Path of Service and Belonging\nStepping onto the Ritual Team path is a sacred commitment—one that requires dedication\, endurance\, and a deep sense of purpose. This is not merely an act of service; it is a calling to stand in relationship with the land\, the elements\, and all beings. \nThroughout the year\, those called to this work prepare themselves—fasting\, training\, and refining their spirits\, bodies\, and hearts. Each spring\, they journey to Georgia for days of intense preparation leading up to the Ritual\, where they chant\, dance\, and offer their devotion to the mountain. In the fall\, they return to give thanks\, completing the sacred cycle of reciprocity. \nIt is demanding. It is transformative. And it is profoundly meaningful. \nPhotograph from the SacredStoneMountian.org website \nThe Ritual Team is a village of seekers\, bound by service and guided by tradition. If you feel called to this path\, we invite you to join us—to find purpose\, belonging\, and a deeper connection with life itself. \n\nDon David Wiley is the attending shaman and ritual leader\, currently training Patrick Hanaway to carry forward this sacred responsibility.
