“Who is a Firekeeper? The role of the fire-keeper is for those who maintain a steady and respectful relationship with the element of Fire, and are able to hold space for the people so that their true voices and colours would shine through. As firekeepers we learn how to make a good roaring fire. We also learn about holding space for stories, for different voices to speak. Ultimately we learn about listening to the Fire, to the elements, to the voices of the ancestors and the children, to earth and to the stars, so that we could take our next steps in harmony with the will of the universe.”
