Welcome to the Fireside Lodge.

The Fireside Lodge is a resource for people on their path
to healing, wisdom, transformation and joy.

I am the lodge keeper, Andrea Silver Bear.

I offer my skills and experiences from my life as a shamanic practitioner,
a leadership coach, a Reiki healer/teacher, a soul midwife and a martial artist.
I am very glad that you are here.

The Fireside Lodge is a space in West London where you can join workshops,
drum circles, ceremonies and one-on-one sessions.
It is also a virtual gathering place where you can get support online and via phone.

Your life is yours.
Healing, strength and guidance come from within, from your essence.
They come from connection.
From your connection with your heart,
with your deepest knowledge and with ancient wisdom.
They come from your relationship with other beings,
with nature and with the sacred source.

The Fireside Lodge opens pathways for you to make these connections stronger.

It is a place for self-healing, for awakening your inner power, for being fully YOU.

Let us walk together, the Lodge is right there.

Families and Groups

If you would like to attend any of our workshops or ceremonies as a group or family,
please get in touch, and we can schedule and custom-design it for you.
Some ideas

Working with the Medicine Wheel is great for families and teams. We can build one in your garden or lay it out on the floor. We can explore family or team dynamics and witness the journey and gifts of each participant. Great for new insights and ideas.

Our Reiki 1 course is inspiring for parents with young teenagers. This level is mostly for self-treatment and mindfulness development, but also for use with friends or family. This can be a great way of bounding and creating new appreciation within the family.

We don't have to leave it to Santa Claus and Harry Potter if we want real magic. Treat yourself and your kids to a drum journey afternoon. Have fun with drums and rattles, and meet your power animals, who can be a great guardian and wisdom keeper for all.
