Pyrotheology offers an incendiary understanding of faith that blurs the lines between theism and atheism and rejects any demand for allegiance to some sacred or secular identity. Instead it is a theory and practice designed to help us confront our brokenness, embrace our unknowing and face the various difficulties in our lives. 

By offering a critique of any system that promises an escape from doubt, complexity and struggle, it helps reveal a narrow path to meaning and joy that involves a strong embrace of these very things. 

While this journey into the dark might seem unappealing compared to the "Good News" of certainty and satisfaction, Pyrotheology exposes how such the latter is really bad news. Burdening us with a yoke too heavy to lift.

Yet, with hundreds of hours of talks, seminars and interviews detailing the work and world of Pyrotheology, it can be difficult to know where to begin. With this in mind, we have developed Building on Fire. An interactive, five-week course that offers a basic introduction to Pyrotheology.

STRUCTURE

Each week involves watching a short video and joining a zoom group. The course is loosely based on the structure of The Divine Magician, so I’m also encouraging people to read that book over the six weeks.

WANT TO JOIN?

Everyone who supports me on Patreon at Flame level will have access to the course.There are also a small number of stand alone tickets. Drop me an email if you’d like to arrange this course for a private group such as your leadership team or wider community.
