Ritual and reflection for standing in truth and walking forward in life. 

Shed. Stand. Walk. 

There are moments in life when we are asked to shed old skin, stand more fully in who we are, and move forward with courage.

The Eleven Gates of the Fire Horse is a small ritual booklet designed to guide you through such a threshold.

Born from months of journeying, grief work following the loss of my mother,  preparation for the Fire Horse Immersive retreat, and shamanic practice, this booklet offers a series of eleven gates each with a practice: reflections, ritual invitations, and questions for contemplation. The gates can be explored in order or opened intuitively, like a small oracle for the year ahead.

Rooted in respect for the Fire Horse of Chinese astrology and interpreted through a shamanic and embodied lens, this work invites you to listen deeply to your body, to the earth, and to the truth that is asking to emerge in your life.  The Fire Horse isn't a label for a year, it's a consciousness and a choice to walk embodied that will continue on after the year concludes. 

Inside you will find:

• A Prelude ritual with the medicine of the Snake
• Eleven initiatory gates for reflection and practice
• A Fire Horse transmission and ritual
• A language of the work glossary to support your journey

This booklet is not about fixing yourself or chasing certainty.

It is about standing in your truth, attuning to the field of life, and walking forward with presence.

If you feel yourself at a threshold…
if something in your life is asking to be shed, claimed, or lived more fully…

The gates are open.
