Fire & Peace 


Creating meaningful change through nature, fire and human connection

Safe, structured outdoor experiences supporting people facing mental health challenges, trauma, substance dependency and isolation.

Live! Don’t Exist.

Fire & Peace creates safe spaces in nature where people can slow down, feel heard and experience something different from the pressures of everyday life.

Through fire, practical outdoor activity and honest human connection, we help people build confidence, strengthen belonging and find greater calm, hope and possibility.

Our approach is shaped by lived experience, more than 40 years of outdoor knowledge and a deep understanding of the challenges people can face.

A different kind of support

Why nature, fire & human connection?

NATURE

Space to slow down

Away from everyday pressures, nature creates room to breathe, reflect and experience a different pace.

FIRE

A natural place to gather

Fire creates warmth, focus and a shared space where conversation can happen without pressure.

HUMAN CONNECTION

Being heard matters

Safe, honest connection helps people feel heard, understood and supported, strengthening trust, belonging and confidence.
