Time to feel the heat!
Have fun, challenge yourself and help to support cats and kittens throughout the area.
Join us to receive your training then walk barefoot across a bed of burning coals to help cats and kittens across Derbyshire.
It's the practice of walking barefoot on hot embers. A firewalk is designed to help transform fear and inspire people to do things they didn't think possible. It can show you that there is more to reality than you think. That many limitations we experience in life are self-imposed.
You will receive firewalk training before the challenge. The training is based around proven motivational and psychological methods. It doesn’t involve any elements of hypnosis, spiritual training, ‘brainwashing’, voodoo or any similar methodologies. It’s great fun and not only will it help you with your firewalk, but these are exercises that you can do at any time in your life when you need some oomph. The instructor is a world-class authorised Blaze ’Fire Master’ Instructor who has undergone a minimum of 200 separate firewalking events at different locations at different times of the year. Timings: 5pm arrival and registration of firewalkers, 5.30pm 90 minute training session begins. 6pm spectators arrive, 6.30pm the fire will be lit, 7pm firewalk starts, 7.30pm debrief and celebration, 8pm event closes.
We do everything we can to be as inclusive as possible. If you need support when walking on the firewalk that is what we are here for. One of the company's team walks beside every firewalker and if needed we can have someone on either side if you wish. If we need to adapt the firewalk to enable you to take part, we can talk about all the options.
We wouldn’t firewalk if it were painful but we must remember everyone’s firewalking experience is unique.
There are physical reasons why firewalking is possible, and these will be explained during the training. We’ll also tell you about firewalking myths. There are lots of them! The hardest thing to overcome is the fear of taking the first step as it is a new experience.
Firewalk participants must be aged 18 years and over. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any registrations for anyone under the age of 18. Spectators can be any age.
As a charity, we rely solely on the generosity and kindness of people like yourself to enable us to continue the vital work that we do, caring for cats and kittens. Participating in the firewalk for Cats Protection is the perfect way to challenge yourself and raise money to help cats in need in the Derbyshire area.
Just imagine that sense of achievement when you cross the finish line, knowing you’ve helped to raise funds to give unwanted and abandoned cats and kittens a better life.
