All year round

Firewalk - “The shortest sponsored walk.”

Hold a team building event like no other – a firewalk is an unforgettable experience that will not only bring colleagues closer together it will stretch individuals’ capabilities and demonstrate their true potential.

The motivational workshop that proceeds the Fire walk will increase self-confidence, encourage greater determination and resilience, and enhance communication and interpersonal skills. Participants complete the Firewalk with a sense of achievement and pure exhilaration.

Friends, family, colleagues can cheer on the firewalkers creating a great atmosphere and unforgettable memories for the whole team.

The Firewalk can be ran for as few as 12 people but obviously to get that atmosphere we recommend signing up more people, and up to 80. You will need an outdoor space with access to an indoor area where the seminar beforehand can take place.

Upfront costs apply and participants will be asked to raise money through sponsorship to add the important fundraising element to the event.

The best time of year to run this event is between September to April in the evenings.

If you would like to set up a Firewalk event for your office please contact Miri to discuss further.
