Welcome to the Fireside Lodge.

The Fireside Lodge is a place 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 Leadership coach, Reiki teacher,
​Medicine Wheel practitioner, Soul midwife and Martial artist.
I am very glad that you are here.

The Fireside Lodge is located in  West London and offers courses,
ceremonies, group and one-on-one sessions.
​I also see clients online:  People from across the globe
​meet at the Fireside by Zoom.

A place for Healing and Transformation

Your life is yours.
Healing, strength and guidance come from within, from your essence.
They come from connection.
From your connection with your heart, mind and body.
From your connection 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 and for awakening your inner power.
For being fully YOU.
​

Let us walk together, the Lodge is right here.

Families and Groups: Events, Birthday Ceremonies, Team Building

Attending our workshops or ceremonies as a group is an inspiring and bonding experience.
Celebrate a special birthday, build group spirit, or connect in a new way with your family.
​We will custom-design the event to meet your group's needs. 

​Build a Medicine Wheel

Working with the Medicine Wheel is great for families and teams to explore their diversity, strengths, challenges and shared goals. We can build a Medicine Wheel in your garden or lay it out on the floor of a large room. Once it is built, participants can position themselves in the different directions, explore group constellations, and witness the journey and the gifts of each participant. Great for new insights and ideas.

Learn Reiki

Our Reiki 1 course is a wonderful experience for groups of friends or families. It can be specially inspiring for parents with teenagers who want to create a shared experience on  a new level; learning together about self-healing, mindfulness and meditation. After the course, you will be able to give each other Reiki treatments. This can be a great way of bonding and creating new appreciation within the family.

Find your Power Animal

​You don't have to wait for Santa or the next Harry Potter movie to invite magic into your life. Treat yourself and your kids to a drum journey afternoon. Have fun with drums and rattles, and meet your power animals, who are great teachers and sources of self-trust. For grown-up groups we can also add a Fire ceremony outdoors, where participants can connect to the Fire to let go of  their burdens and re-light their inner fire.
