Firewalking is an ancient practice used by various cultures around the world, demonstrating strength, courage, and faith. Working through the fears of life’s challenges is a metaphor to firewalking, which symbolizes all that is possible as you take steps to a freer, more fulfilling future. It’s a wonderful example of the mind-body connection.

The Gregg Gilder Memorial Firewalk

Gregg Gilder worked alongside and with Common Ground for many years. He helped to expand youth programming to kids and especially at-risk youth. He was instrumental in the very first Firewalk held at Common Ground. His love for Common Ground and the community it serves left a legacy we seek to honor every year with the Gregg Gilder Memorial Firewalk.
