If you're wanting to know a deep part of my soul that is beyond the performer, the tradie martial artist the sport player all the identities that I've created that make me who I am. Then this is it. I've had a long-standing knee injury for 10 years and this journey is finally coming to a close and I share this in celebration of closing this chapter and changing the trajectory of my life once again because when I come back, I will be all guns blazing. You have my word. And this is the side of me not many get to see šŸ”„šŸ™šŸ¼

It had been a dream of mine to perform with the other man you see in these photos ever since I started my journey six years ago.

This was my biggest performance to date, performing in front of 5,000 people for the 10th Anniversary Bonfire Night.

It was really one of those moments where you stop and think, ā€œWow, I’ve made it.ā€

There’s something so rewarding about having a dream and then actually making that dream happen.

To perform, feel so alive, play with danger, feel joy pulsating through every cell in my being, while putting smiles on people’s faces and inspiring others to dare to dream.

To give so many people a moment in time to be deeply present and completely mesmerised, as we dance with the danger of fire while making it all look so seamless and beautiful.

It’s such a special gift to be able to share with the world.

Thankyou Neal Webb šŸ”„šŸ™šŸ¼

Fire shows getting taken to the next level

Iv never seen someone use a fire trident before šŸ”±

Yes you read that right, I have a Viking style fire show coming up and wanted to bring in as many weapons as I could šŸ™ŒšŸ¼

I got this today, got home late at night but my impatient Desire couldn't wait it had to try , this is my first time diving in with zero practice šŸ™ŒšŸ¼

This is how artists are born , you have no reference point of skills to learn, how to master a prop when no does it. And that's where the magic is, allowing yourself to be a creator it's how all great things start.

A spark , an idea that turns into a vision and it gets to come alive when you meet it šŸ”„

I don't know what I'm going to create just yet , but I know I'm going to enjoy the journey šŸ˜šŸ™šŸ¼

What if you went all in on yourself?

What if you chased after something that started as a hobby…
turned into a passion…
and then became the gift you were meant to give back to humanity?

What if your service to the world
was also the thing that brings you the most joy?

What if something that was once just for you…
you realised was actually for something beyond yourself?
Something you were meant to share with other people.

And what if that then got to become your job?

What if the very thing you wish you had more time for…
was the thing people were willing to pay you for?

When I first started fire twirling,
for three years I went out into the bush by myself
and spun things on fire for hours.

It wasn’t meant for anyone…

Until one day, it was.

Now maybe the message in this isn’t actually about fire.

Maybe it’s about you.

What’s the gift you know you’re meant to share with the world?

Drop it in the comments below.
What do you know you’re here for? šŸ”„

People see the fire show…
But they don’t see everything that happens before the flames are even lit. šŸ”„

The prep.
The gear.
The testing.
The special effects.
The hours spent learning what equipment works best and what little details create those moments that make people go ā€œwhat the f*ck was THAT?ā€

Before every show, I sit with the fire.
I pray.
I ground myself.

Not because it ā€œlooks spiritualā€ā€¦ but because I genuinely believe fire can be felt, channelled and expressed through movement, presence and energy.

Even through the words I speak before and after the performance.

There’s so much preparation that happens on the days people never see.

Training.
Refining timing.
Practising transitions.
Learning how to read crowds.
Learning stage presence.
Learning leadership.
Learning how to hold energy in a space.

So when the moment comes to perform… I can fully let go and deliver.

You’re not just paying for someone to spin fire.

You’re paying for nearly a decade of dedication poured into mastering multiple props, movement, storytelling, performance, ritual, connection and experience creation.

You’re paying for the energy.
The intention.
The presence.
The depth.

Because I’m not someone that just rocks up, does a show and disappears.

I stay afterwards.
I connect with people.
I have conversations.
I share moments.

Because this work has never just been about entertainment for me.

It’s about making people FEEL something.

If you want that energy at your next event… message me šŸ”„

A beautiful weekend away in Tintenbar celebrating a dear friend’s birthday with soul family.

So much love, connection, dance, play, ritual, ceremony, prayer, time in nature, and those deep vulnerable conversations about life that only seem to happen when you slow down enough to truly be with each other.

Watching the stars slowly appear as the night crept in, sitting around the fire eating beautiful nourishing food, all of us huddled together — not only to keep warm, but to soak in the love we all share and the closeness we’re blessed enough to have with one another.

There’s something so rich about deep connection.
Time in nature.
Stories around a fire.
Cold morning creek swims.
Relishing in land that has been walked by many people and honouring how blessed we are to spend time in these places.
Dancing like nobody’s watching and getting completely lost in your soul’s expression.

These are the moments I live for. And it feels incredibly special to share them with people I love so deeply.

Thank you for such an incredible weekend together. One I’ll hold close to my heart for a long time šŸ¤

A few snaps from last night’s fire show šŸ”„

Honestly, I’m still blown away every time I look back at these. The shapes, the patterns… the way fire just does its thing and creates something you could never plan. It’s wild what gets captured from a single moment.

There’s something about working with this element that never gets old. It’s not just a performance for me — it feels like a relationship. Something I’m constantly learning from, respecting, and moving with.

And I don’t take it lightly that this is my life… that I get to share this, travel with it, and create experiences around something I genuinely love.

Thankyou again for having me it was such a pleasure to share this with you and your people šŸ™šŸ¼

This is it. This is me.

Thank you, fire.
Thank you, God.
Thank you for the path that’s brought me here šŸ”„

Almost 12 months ago, this was one of the first professionally edited videos I received.

And honestly… I couldn’t have imagined where this path would take me.

For the first 3 years, it was just me, alone in the bush, spinning fire.
No audience. No intention to perform.
Just a form of meditation… a way to connect to something deeper that I didn’t yet have words for.

Looking back now, I can see what was really happening.
I was building a relationship.
With fire. With presence. With something far beyond myself.

What started as solitude turned into sharing.
From a few friends’ birthday parties…
To performing at larger events…
To now creating my own experiences, my own spaces, my own way of working.

And the truth is — I don’t just ā€œperformā€ anymore.

Fire is my vehicle.
I channel it. I move with it. I speak through it.

This isn’t just a show.
This is fire as medicine.

It’s the contrast of light and dark.
The beauty and the intensity.
The way hard truths can land… and illuminate something within you.

The feminine draws you in.
The fire keeps you there.
The message is what transforms you.

I don’t just come to entertain.
I come to take up space.
To speak what needs to be spoken.
To open something in people that they didn’t even realise was there.

This is something I could have never planned and only see now in the beauty of hindsight the journey fire has taken me on to create my own story through into the creation of storytelling through fire šŸ”„

It evolved. As I did.

If you’re looking for something beyond a fire show…
Something you can feel, not just watch…
