Our Mission and Purpose

 
We are a unique and innovative organization whose purpose and vision are simple but proudly important—to help transform lives in a world filled with more compelling challenges and negative forces than we have seen in memory.    
 
We help people find and clarify their core inner values—their most deeply held beliefs—that guide their actions and behaviors and represent what a person stands for. In the end, this allows them to live a more meaningful, authentic, purposeful, and fulfilling life.  
 
Another way to say it: We unlock human capacity with astonishing growth. And it all starts with getting in touch with what we call our inner “fire,” which deeply touches and guides our lives.   

We do not believe there are others who do quite what we do and how we do it.  It is our passion.  
 
We leverage our diverse professional backgrounds and skills to bring together a reliance on social and scientifically-proven disciplines, recognizing the importance of our connection to nature and a practical-based spirituality.  This is the basis of the three programs we offer — “12 + 1 values”, “Values-Centered Leadership” and “52 plus”.   
 
Our clients deepen their emotional intelligence, becoming better family members and friends as they learn how to optimize themselves as values-centered leaders in their work and communities.  
 
We work in both individual and group settings, within business and community organizations, with churches and other religious faiths, and schools.   We train better business and community leaders, but also have a special passion for the younger generation where it all begins.  

 

Welcome to our fire.  

We are Danny and Hélène, the heart and soul of the Firekeeper Academy. Together, we combine over 50 years of diverse experience from the corporate, health, and therapeutic worlds with a deep commitment to spiritual growth. Our journey has shaped a unique and innovative approach that integrates professional expertise with powerful emotional and spiritual insights.

We are happy to welcome you here and looking forward to meeting you! 

More about us
 

Why values matter.

Have you ever considered what your values are and what they give rise to in your life?

At the core of everything you do, your values are like a compass, guiding your decisions, actions, and purpose. Often, we aren’t even aware that our values are shaping our behaviors and the path we take.

Your values give life direction, meaning, and passion. They act as an internal language that motivates and drives you forward. The more you become aware of them, the more intentional and authentic your decisions will be, aligning you with your true purpose.

Our Approach to Transformation 

6 driving elements of the Cycle of Growth.

1. Ignite Your Inner Fire

Fire symbolizes energy, transformation, and community. We harness the wisdom of fire to foster connection and conversation, helping you stay centered for personal and collective growth.

2. Wheels of Growth and Personal Values.

The Wheel of Growth maps out the steps of consciousness evolution, making personal growth easier to understand and integrate. The Wheel of Values is your compass, guiding you through life and helping you connect deeply with your purpose.

3. Reconnect with Nature.

Nature operates on multiple levels—from the tangible world of forests and wildlife to the unseen, intelligent force that connects us to a larger narrative. At Firekeeper Academy, we guide you in reconnecting with nature's wisdom, fostering a deeper understanding of the natural world.

4. Harness Emotional Intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is essential for effective leadership and personal development. By developing self-awareness, social awareness, and group EI, you can navigate life with clarity and purpose.

5. Discover Liminal Space.

Liminal Space is the threshold between what was and what will be—a transformative zone where old boundaries dissolve and new potentials emerge. Here, you’ll connect deeply with your emotions, thoughts, and purpose and navigate uncertainty with guided support.

6. Live by your Values

Values are the fuel for your inner fire, innate and connected to your purpose. At Firekeeper Academy, we help you identify and live by your core values, using them as a compass to guide you on your path.

Why Transformation.

  • In our fast-paced world, technological advancements often outpace personal, social, and spiritual growth, leading to feelings of loneliness, disconnection, and a loss of intrinsic values.
  • Many, especially the younger generation, struggle with finding an inner compass to navigate life’s challenges. Statistics reveal that 70% of teens feel loneliness and anxiety.
  • At Firekeeper Academy, we help recalibrate your inner compass, reconnect with nature, and realign with the values that guide you toward a life where purpose, connection, and inner peace converge, helping both you and your community flourish.

Transformation starts with You. 

 

Firekeeper Academy is your trusted guide, helping you reconnect with the essence of who you are—your roots, values, and purpose.

"The greatest leadership begins within—where values and purpose meet."

Your journey towards lasting transformation begins now. Whether you’re ready to dive deeper with a personalized call, experience growth at one of our events, or start learning at your own pace, the opportunity is here. Take action today and start building the future you deserve.
