Teacher:

Francesca Greco

Francesca is a Life Coach and accredited facilitator of the Game of Transformation. She walks the path of ancient wisdom, learned over time from shamans and guardians of tradition in lands such as Peru and Mexico.
Her journey is one of direct experience, deep listening, and a living relationship with Nature and the Elements.
She guides women’s circles, experiential retreats, and immersive days and week-long journeys of practice — spaces where ritual becomes a tool for transformation and integration.
In her work, she weaves together ancestral instruments — such as the circle, the Four Directions, sacred song, and the shamanic drum — with subtle, sensory practices including essential oils, sacred smudging, and guided listening processes. Through this integration, she supports journeys of reconnection, trust, and inner truth.
She accompanies individuals in gently removing masks that have grown too tight, rediscovering forgotten parts of themselves, and building — step by step — a good life and a meaningful existence, in harmony with themselves and with Mother Earth.

Fire Ritual

Fire is an ancient presence.

It warms, illuminates, transforms.

It consumes what is ready to end and creates space for what is waiting to emerge.

During this evening, we will gather around a ceremonial fire in a space of listening and respect.

We will enter into relationship with its energy, recognizing its power as a force of transformation, purification, and renewal.

Simple yet meaningful offerings — corn, sugar, cacao, rose petals — will be given to the fire as gestures of gratitude and sweetness toward life.

After the fire is lit, we will let ourselves be guided by the rhythm of the flames, moving through moments of silence, sound, and song.

The drum and maracas will support the journey, opening a space for listening, presence, and connection.

Each person will be invited to approach with an intention, a prayer, a request, or something they are ready to release.

Through a symbolic gesture, we will entrust to the fire whatever we wish to transform or surrender.

This will be a simple and profound gathering, guided by the direct and ancient language of fire.

Open to everyone.

What we offer to the fire transforms.

What we release becomes space.
