The New Hampshire Hearth – Chris Griffin & Sacred Fire
Chris Griffin, a devoted steward of sacred community and transformative fire, has been a pillar of Sacred Fire for nearly two decades. As a Firekeeper, board chairman, and heart-centered leader, he fosters connection, warmth, and spiritual awakening through the ancient power of fire.
Chris’s journey blends deep technical expertise—honed as a medical device engineer—with a lifelong dedication to the sacred. His professional work contributed to life-saving FDA-approved technologies, yet his true calling extends beyond innovation into the realms of spirit and community. Guided by meditation, Plant Spirit Medicine, and indigenous wisdom, he discovered his path as a keeper of sacred fire, creating spaces where people gather to heal, celebrate, and remember their connection to the divine.
In 2019, Chris became a Sacred Fire Firekeeper, hosting monthly fires in Harvard, Massachusetts, and at his home hearth in Wilton, New Hampshire. These gatherings kindle joy, vulnerability, and authentic human connection. His leadership expanded in 2020 when he joined the Sacred Fire board, stepping into the role of chairman in 2022 to help guide the organization’s global mission.
A highlight of his service is the annual Fire Speaks event at Mount Monadnock, where the living spirit of fire offers wisdom to those who listen. Through ceremony, storytelling, and quiet reverence, Chris facilitates profound encounters with the elemental forces that shape our lives.
Rooted in family, community, and the land, Chris Griffin’s work is a testament to service—bridging the practical and the sacred, tending the flames that illuminate our shared humanity.
“Fire calls us to remember—ourselves, each other, and the unseen threads that weave us together.” —Chris Griffin

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.
Fire Speaks is a unique ceremonial gathering where participants seek guidance from Grandfather Fire, known as Tatewari among Mexico's Indigenous Huichol people. During these events, traditional healer Don David Wiley serves as a conduit for Grandfather Fire's wisdom, offering profound insights and teachings. Attendees have the opportunity to ask pressing questions about life's mysteries and deepen their connection with the sacred.
