Fire Dance, NC 2025

All information and fees below:

The Ancestors have been calling us to remember. We honor our Ancestors as we step into our healing and invite them to Dance with us! We will be Dancing in the energy of releasing the old patterns, rebirth and remembering the truth of who we are.

We Dance for ourselves, for our Ancestors and the world. This Dance will ignite the passion and creativity within you to live your life fully, as intended by the Ancestors. If you have never been to a Medicine Dance, this experience will truly change your life.

If you have been to a Dance, then you are in for a profound experience. The energy of this Ceremony is amazingly intense as we dance with five Fires inside a Wheel of Creation. Dancers and Crew alike will be transformed forever as the spirit of this dance moves through us and fans the fires in our hearts.

This is NOT a traditional Native American Ceremony. This Dance comes from a time before the racial and religious barriers of the world existed. The infinite Circle of the Medicine Wheel predates man and we Dance to expand beyond form, dogma, and criteria. We Dance to bring the wholeness back to the planet.

The Fire Dance is about stepping into life fully and completely. It will burn away the thing inside that blocks you and holds you back. The energy of this Fire Dance is incredibly powerful! The Spirit Keepers of the Directions are Dancing too! Spirit is Dancing in the Fire. It is tangible!

If you are called and ready, the Fires are waiting … and will forever be carried in your heart as a Fire Dancer!

Should I Dance or Crew?

How do I decide?

If you come to the Fire Dance you will either be a dancer or a crew member. Typically, there might be twice as many crew members as dancers, but this can vary from dance to dance.

The dance takes place in an “arbor,” a designated large, circular space. The dancers will camp in the Arbor from Friday afternoon and stay within this area until Sunday, unless going to the bathroom. Also within this circle are five fires that will burn from Friday to Sunday. The energy builds throughout the weekend. When the drums are playing, the Fire Dancers will dance. There is plenty of rest in this dance also. The rest is as important as the dancing, allowing you to ground what you are bringing in. And at night you sleep.

The dancers will fast from food and water from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning. As your sugar and salt levels lower, the fires burn, and your body moves in whatever way comes to you. The drums play, and you journey to your deepest and highest parts. What you no longer need is burned away, and new awareness comes in.

Some say we decide to dance before we are born. So, when you hear about the dance, you may just know in your heart that you are meant to be there. To dance, you do not need any prior training. You can jump straight in. You will be watched over the entire time as a whole team of people is there for you.
The “crew” consists of Dance Guardians, Drummers, Fire Keepers, Fire Mothers and Fathers, Wisdom Keepers, Kitchen Crew, and the Chief. They are all there to create a safe ceremonial place for you to dance. A more detailed explanation of each role will be sent after registration. The “Chief” will work in tune with the dance and listen to guidance when appointing people to a specific position within the crew.

Donations / Fees:

When we come together for Sacred Ceremony in this way, it is important that we understand that we are coming together as a community, with each other and the Ceremony itself. In doing so, we are all working in energetic reciprocity. There are many moving parts to a ceremony that require various types of energy, ranging from donations of time to money, to assist us in making the necessary purchases and preparations with grace. Below, we have listed the donation requests for Dancers and Crew Members.

The Dancer Donation is on a sliding scale between $400 and $550. It is up to the dancer to decide where they are in their energy exchange and prosperity.
Crew donation is $45.00 (includes meals from Friday lunch to Sunday Feast)

Lodging Donations

Indoor: $45.00 per person per night for reserving a bed, (before, during, and after the Dance) please bring your towel and bedding needs

This dance is open to everyone, of all faiths and beliefs, and we welcome all who are called to Dance or to be a part of the Crew.

This is a life-changing experience for each person who shows up. We take this healing and transformation back into our own lives and share it with the world.
We look forward to seeing and connecting with all who join us for this beautiful and transformative ceremony. We would love you to share this event with anyone you feel might be interested.

With Deep Gratitude and Many Blessings!
