Year of the Fire Horse!

February 22, 2026

I took this picture when I was in Taipei (Taiwan) for my good friend's wedding celebration at the end of 2025. It was my first time traveling to another country without my family.

Besides attending the wedding, I needed an adventure. I needed something new and powerful to remind myself that life is here to be lived. Seeing a new culture, people, places, and just being present during it. Had a powerful impact on me.

I know, but what about firewalking? It is powerful, but over the years it has become something I share with other people. It is more of a declaration of how I want to live my life rather than facing my fears.

The Year of the Fire Horse brings a lot of energy that I am excited to experience and share! It is Yang energy (action, boldness, outward expression), fire (purification, transformation, visibility), and the horse (courage, forward movement, decisive action). Everything that I believe fire walking to embody!

It will be sixty years (2086) until we have another one. So despite my optimism, this is probably going to be the only fire horse year I will ever see in my life! That makes it rare and powerful. A chance to take action and shift my entire life!

It will be fun to have that kind of focus and energy for my firewalks this year. I hope you'll join us for one of our events!
