HeatherAsh Amara bio:
What do we do when the world seems to be burning around us?

We hold hands. We show up. We take good action and make good trouble. We root in. We pray. We love. We weep. We sing to the trees. We know we are in this, together.

As a master firewalk instructor and President of the Global Firewalking Association, the irony is not lost on HeatherAsh that when she found herself right on the frontlines of the destruction of climate change, it came in the form of a fire at her home an retreat center in New Mexico. She also has a wildly successful Substack documentary about the destruction of almost all of her land. He intent with Out of the Fire is to dance together with the contradictions, and find meaning in the chaose. And to celebrate everything.
