Daredevils from various BNI chapters tested themselves to the limit at an unusual confidence workshop… by walking on red-hot coals!

Members of the Stone, Izaac Walton and Dove groups congregated for the firewalking session, which was held at Lower Drayton Farm in Penkridge, Staffordshire.

The event was organised by coaching company the Academy of High Achievers (Aha!), to discover exactly what can be achieved with the right mindset and preparation.

Director Tony Burgess said: “Most people assume walking on hot coals will be extremely dangerous, but if the person is in the right frame of mind it can be an inspiring and life-enhancing experience.

“We prepare everyone thoroughly, to help them understand just how much control they have over their attitude, thinking and states such as confidence.

“All these factors significantly affect the outcomes people generate in their lives and their businesses, so the positive consequences of the learning is far-reaching.

“Firewalking is a highly symbolic act which is designed to make people realise how much they can achieve – because let's face it, if they can walk on fire, they can do anything.”

Walking on hot coals, also known as firewalking, is an ancient practice which was common in a number of diverse cultures including Native American and Viking. Many Christian saints are also believed to have firewalked.

It was intended to ‘honour the element of fire and bring healing to their communities' [1] . It is one of the oldest human rituals in the world.
