AFC/ ABOUT FIREWALK ACADEMY
People behind
the practice.
Firewalking shaped our own journeys. We share the practice to help people explore a different perspective — through real experience, thoughtful facilitation and their own choices.
• CONNECTED BY A SHARED PRACTICE · SPAIN & CZECHIA
01/ A DRAGON. A PEARL. A JOURNEY.
Meet the challenge.
Discover what it teaches.
In our story, a dragon guards a pearl of wisdom. The journey towards it invites curiosity and the willingness to meet a challenge
For us, the dragon is a metaphor for the assumptions and familiar limits we bring to an experience. The pearl represents the understanding we may discover when we pause, pay attention and look again.
Firewalk Academy grew from the significance firewalking had in our own lives. Our purpose is to share an experience that invites people to explore their choices and what those choices mean to them.
AN IDEA THAT GUIDES US
The step is yours.
The meaning is yours to discover.
02/ HOW WE WORK
A real challenge.
A considered approach.
The activity opens a moment. How we prepare, guide and reflect on it matters.
CURIOSITY
Begin with
a question.
What brings you here? Start with your own intention, your team’s context or the direction you want to explore in your practice.
PREPARATION
Give the moment
a foundation.
Understand the experience, its participation requirements and the way you will be guided. Make room for questions before action.
CHOICE
Respect each
person’s decision.
Every activity is voluntary. You can participate, pause or observe. What the experience means remains personal.
03/ FOUNDERS & THE TEAM
Individual journeys.
A shared practice.
Meet the Firewalk Masters whose backgrounds bring different perspectives to Firewalk Academy.

Nagy
Firewalk Master
Background & milestones
• Firewalking since 2013
• Certified as Firewalk Maaster in 2019 by Tolly Burkan
• Fascinated by people. Why we do what we do, what holds us back and what happens when we discover we’re capable of more than we thought.
• It’s never really about the fire. It’s about the people, their stories, their fears and those wonderful moments when something just clicks.
• Loves a good laugh, meaningful conversations and people who don’t take themselves too seriously.
• We can do some pretty deep, transformational work without being serious all the time. In fact, I think laughter is part of the magic.
