The most ecstatic, empowering weekend of your life!!!

See more photos and testimonials below

Available for organizational team-building retreats at various locations (call for details)

Imagine sitting around an open fire beneath a blanket of stars at the beginning of the weekend with no one else around for miles except the select group of spiritual warriors who have come to reclaim their sacred power. Imagine waking up to the sunrise the next morning and spending that day forging through initiations designed to burn away social conditioning and perceived limitations. Imagine that evening crawling into the sacred sweat lodge to travel to the deepest regions of soul and purge all that stands in the way of the essential self. Imagine walking away from the sacred initiation on Sunday reborn, filled with vitality, and grounded in the experience of your deepest, truest, primal self with the most incredible bonding of community you have ever experienced.

The Ecstasy


The Power

My experience of Primal Fire was fun, heart-warming, powerful, grounding, daft, profound, joyous and liberating. I could happily pass the talking stick for days and love hearing from everyone - I love the honesty and peaceful reflection and the openness and ease as people express and share their feelings and thoughts.
Kate O’Riley




The Circle


The Letting Go


The Freedom

Thank you for a wonderful primal fire weekend once again. I have been practicing the Release & Shift, which I found worked even better than various practices for either releasing or affirming that I had previously been exposed. The Release & Shift is so much quicker and can be done throughout the day whenever I feel I need it.
Jean-Guy Leblanc


C'mon Really? You want me to trust what?


The Nurturing


Carving out this new path can be extremely exciting and at the same time can awaken sadness and grief within us. Now that I realize I can live with both simultaneously and still remain in Joy and Love, the path will be a lot more fun. I feel that I have been accelerated to top speed of discovery of myself and the universe. I felt so much power in each ceremony while in the sweat lodge especially the giving away round...wow!!
Kelly Painter



The Sweetness


The Movement

This 2009 Primal Fire (my second one in three years) was another life changing experience for me which commenced within the first hour of my arrival. For days after arriving home my mind/body continued to float in the rapture of it all. Looking forward to another primal fire next year. Love to all.

The Primal Fire was all I hoped it would be, and more. My first morning back . . . I walked around my beautiful acreage crying and laughing. A giant step on my journey to self-discovery and love. I am deeply grateful to all of you. What a Blessing being together with such a compassionate group of loving people, horses, dogs and land.
The late and loving Lorraine Boucher


The Circle

This is my first day back at work. I decided to take yesterday off and called in. I wouldn’t have called in on short notice in the past to ask for the day off but I said I was going to find my voice and use it. I feel like I am back on track with new tools and knowledge about myself. It was an amazing 3 days. I went home and told my husband about all the activities and lessons I learned. He initially was going to come with me but as things turned out this summer, this wasn’t possible but next year we both would like to come.

We're all number 1


The Trust

I have so much I want to share. I just felt so connected to all of the people at Primal Fire...Patrick has played a huge part in my ongoing spiritual growth...the unconditional love and respect, the encouragement, support , and inspiration he has given me, there's just so much I can't contain it in writing or talking about it...I just try to feel it and live it because it is so Good. Deep Gratitude and respect to all the spiritual warriors at Primal Fire, I am truly amazed at how every one of you has spoken and I have understood. The drumming felt like a part of my being, it helped me feel accepted in the group, it was so powerful
Cynthia


The holding

I wanted to thank you so much for such an amazing weekend. Today is the first day that I've felt back in my body (bummer)! LOL! I am looking back in my mind at our group and how magical it was to be there with everyone, Alberto, Carol, the herd, and you!!!

Dancing with horses


The tenderness

I have been saying affirmations for about one month, and this weekend, I have come to believe it. I AM LOVE! I am taking away gratitude that all that has happened in my life has brought me to this weekend, this time, this soft place to fall called Ravenheart Farms.
K.P.

I see each of you at different moments in my mind's eye... often I see you dancing with Sugar and the tears well up again at the beauty of those moments.. I expect we will all continue to process the experiences in our own ways as the weeks pass. I am more mindful today of my internal (and external) dialogue, I feel well and at peace. But more than anything, I feel hugely grateful. Thank you Patrick for your humanity and your courage and generosity in becoming the great teacher that you are. Thank you Carol. You know how much I love you. You have taught me so, so much in this life and as time passes, I see your light shining brighter and brighter in the lives of all those you touch. Thank you for [horses] Brownie and Lacey and Raven and Sugar and [dogs] Polly and Charlie. Thank you for the peace of Ravenheart....
Lynne

You are all with me every day, in my mind and in my heart, as I remember each and every one of you and your kindness and sincerity. I remember your strengths and your smiles, and I feel your love. In all of my years, I have never felt as safe as I did with you all! Thank you for allowing me to feel free and to express myself without any judgment, only acceptance and love. It is quite impossible for me to describe in words to you what this Primal Fire weekend has done for me!

I want to thank once again for the wonderful experience I had at the Primal Fire. I learned a lot about the human dimension. The outcome of the event was wonderful and fulfilled its purpose. Furthermore, I got a full load of energy that I needed so much to keep moving along my path. Building the sweatlodge was so much fun, and I felt like I was part of something meaningful, a creative power. I enjoyed the physical activities, like the ropes and the trapfall. And I wanted to tell you that the chants were so cool.

Tell me what you need

It sure was a wonderful weekend and it has been a wonderful week since then as well. I found myself [this week] seeing so much beauty in the people I was interacting with. I was giggly and moved by the humanity in. That was different for me. It has also been really nice to be more loving, kind and gentle with folks at work, to listen more attentively and trust that things will work out for the best. I am truly grateful for experiencing the Primal Fire with you all.

Being here with nature was rewarding and peaceful. Sharing and feeling the pain and hurt from others was sad but very healing for me. Working with the horses has been an experience that I couldn't have imagined without being here. Carol has been a great co-facilitator with a big heart!

Thank You for Volunteering to be the Human Sacrifice

I learned that I can still have pain and grief, but use it for power, when Patrick helped with the words at the trust fall. I am power! What Patrick said about me made me feel so strong!

The Love and Intimacy

If you think what Patrick promises through this workshop [that it will change your life forever] is just promotional hoopla, I challenge you to give it a try. You won't be disappointed. It really will change you, in any way your soul needs to. I loved being able to be who I am, just as I am in the moment, fully supported and accepted.
J.L.


The Lodge


The Connection

What I loved most was the love and kindness that Carol is and gives, the natural setting, and learning to be silent and listening in my own silence.
B.H.


The Hugs

What was most meaningful was the acceptance and hilarity from the giggling girls. Transforming, allowing me to laugh and to cry again. I am printing more evening tickets for the next Primal Fire [inside joke].
D.S.


Did you just paint me? And you say it is a way of honoring me?
What . . . ever! I Appreciate the Sentiment, Though!

The Deepening of Friendship

My shoulders are down; my chest is lighter, more open. Coming here with my boyfriend has put my relationship back on track. I loved that people would be there to catch me in the trust fall and sitting around the fire at the end of each day.

MORE FIREY TESTIMONIALS

Words cannot express the feelings I have about this weekend - I truly feel as if my life will never be the same . . .
M.S.

After years of being alone, I have met my soulmate at the Primal Fire. I am so grateful and blessed.
J.G.

The soulful experience of our weekend is generating such positive energy into my soul. Despite my immediate return to work and obligatory tasks, I am integrating the lessons from our primal fire experience into the "everydayness" of my life. I am blessed to have spent such quality time with all of you. I embrace the unknown......... and welcome what is to come........ I am in the moment.
C.R.

Patrick is an enlightened facilitator. He drew us together in such a strong bond of community. F.R.

After getting in touch with my primal energy this weekend, I had the best sex with my husband in a long, long time. I rediscovered my primal sexuality. C.V.

The exercises were phenomenal and the permission to be just who I am was just what I needed. I connected with my mother in a way I never had before. J.E.

I have always had challenges being around people. The Primal Fire allowed me to be in community in a way I have never experienced.
J.H.

I want to thank all of you for creating a Sacred, safe space that opened the door to a very deep healing for me. I didn't have any expectations and my intention was to just get away from the city and relax. I told myself I wouldn't participate too much and I'm glad I didn't follow it.
I am very, very grateful for the idea to have a partner to continue processing our feelings for the next month. [Please see the poem below.]
A.G.

The experience was something I could never imagine. I had gone without knowing what I wanted, except to experience an adventure and create peace and joy in my life. What I got was being reconnected with fears, frustrations. I really saw how controlled I am in life and got to experience how to let go of control. I could actually see the stress involved in how I have been living. I got to experience peace in just being with people and being open in ways that I have never thought possible. In the sweat lodge I got to the most vulnerable place possible, and as a result, I received peace in the moment. I experienced the life I want to live in that moment--the life I was trying to figure out in my head was there all along. The freedom and safety that I experienced is something that I now carry with me and that I write down daily. I got to see courage first hand in all of my group friends. I did not want to even leave the mountains. I actually felt the experience that I have read about in books of being one with Earth. Things that I studied and later lost all came together in the experience with the group. I encourage anyone to go and be in the space of experiencing and being in their heart.
R.L.

For me, my experience was being given the gift enabling my presence there with Patrick, Corina and the rest of the PF group! You never cease to amaze and bless me. This group was unique, loving, supporting, and caring, as they provided the space for me/us to experience just what was ready to come up and take a good look at. The safety and aliveness that I felt to just "be" the exposed, non-conforming, late person that I was, was so valuable to me and provided me the opportunity to dig even a little deeper in my quest for self discovery and enlightenment. Thanks for not letting me cover the "garbage" with cream and a cherry! And as my intention was for clarity about relationship, the sexual "serenade" in the nearby tent allowed me to see how open and ready I am for the tenderness of loving to come into my life. It's been a long time since I fell asleep with a smile on my face!
To all my PF buddies, I send you big hugs and continued support for all your good intentions!!!
Yes, DO keep in the new exercise, the Primal Grope! It provided a great space for the healing tinkle of good, clean laughter!
Flobear

I never would have believed that a trust fall would be so "enlightening." When I got up on the rock and faced the hills, saying what it was that I wanted to release, and then fell backwards; it did not "hit" me until I was in their arms that I felt a joy that I just don't normally experience. It was like for a moment all negative feelings were gone, I and the source were one.
K.G.

I am feeling so empowered and, of course, healed. Putting up and taking down a tent (of course, with my tent mate, Opal), falling off a rock into loving arms, and just enjoying the outdoors with like-minded people--what an experience! I also was willing to face a great fear in the sweat lodge which was really enlightening. Thanks to all of you who shared and thanks Patrick for leading this magnificent group of people. I'm looking forward to the one in April. Sign me up, Patrick!
T.K.

As I was driving home from the primal fire and looking at the scenery, I was totally present in the here and now and realized I would never look at the world the same again. B.B.

I had never experienced a sweatlodge before and it was awesome! I have never felt this much like a family with a group of people who I didn't know. J.G.

I have long felt like I don't belong and now I do. I belong to this group and I belong to my own primal fire. A.G.

I am on medication that keeps my libido in check, but after the primal fire, I got my mojo back. D.O.

POEM FALLING Primal Fire 2006

Written by "Jaguar Speaker”

I am FALLING into the abyss of “I DON'T” KNOW”
I feel the fear shaking my whole body
I hear words of encouragement:
YOU CAN DO IT! TRUST, TRUST, TRUST!
Doubt comes in and I wonder if I could really trust
When I don't even KNOW where I'm going…

I stumble and now I'm even more afraid
I CENTER myself and choose to trust my friends,
I let myself go… Will they catch me?
It is only an instant and I am totally SUPPORTED!
My body is cradled in the strong arms of my friends:
I feel SAFE, loved, cared for,

I hear a sweet melody that sounds like angel's whispers
I am going HOME again.
My heart opens wide, trusting completely!
Yes! I have arrived home safely!
I OPEN my eyes and see the clear skies.
I SCREAM with all my power to the heavens,

SACRED ONES:
This is your child Alicia “Jaguar Speaker”
I am ALIVE and FREE!
I accept my REBIRTH!
I LOVE YOU GREAT SPIRIT!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
