What people say

Real stories from Londoners who stepped into the wild.

The best part wasn't even the fire or the food. It was the conversation. Real conversation, without phones, without agendas. Just people being honest with each other.

Rachel, 38ClaphamFire Gathering

I learned to make fire by hand. I'm a software developer. I spend my whole life on screens. Making fire felt like the most real thing I've done in years.

Dev, 33ShoreditchOutdoor Experience

My partner dragged me along to the solstice gathering. By midnight I didn't want to leave. There's something about marking the seasons that makes you feel more alive.

Leila, 29CamberwellSeasonal Event

I wasn't sure what to expect from a woodland camp. Turns out, what I needed was to sleep in the cold, wake up to birdsong, and cook breakfast on a fire. Something shifted in me that weekend.

Tom, 44DalstonWoodland Camp

The dome session was unlike anything I've experienced. The sound bowls, the warmth, the quiet. I left feeling like I'd had a week off.

Aisha, 36IslingtonDome Session

I brought my dad for his 60th. We sat around the fire all night and talked more than we have in years.

Marcus, 31PeckhamFire Gathering

Harry creates something you can't really describe. You just have to go. Take your phone out of your pocket, sit down, and breathe.

Priya, 41BrixtonFire Gathering

I prefer Drumsheds to be honest...

Harry, 34Canary WharfWoodland Camp

I didn't realise how much tension I was carrying until I sat by that fire and felt it leave. I've been back three times now.
