Ep28: From sweat lodge to firewalking, facing death and living with intention
This one is about walking through the fire, both literally and spiritually.
Luc Beaulieu walks us through his life as a firekeeper, death doula, and firewalk guide. From the deep stillness of sweat lodges to the blistering grit of Sundance ceremonies, Luc shares the rituals that changed how he lives, and how he helps others face fear, mortality, and personal limitations.
They say when you face death, you start to live. This episode explores how fasting, fire, and facing discomfort can rewire your relationship with life.
What’s in this episode:
- The sacred roles inside a sweat lodge
- Lessons from building and tending the fire
