What type of wood is used in a firewalk?
Incensed cedar, alligator juniper, and birch produce the best coals for walking on.  Some wood produces coals that are sharp or exude sap which are not desirable when walking on coals.

If I attend a firewalk, do I have to walk?
No!  Firewalking is always optional and there should never be any pressure to walk on the coals.  In fact, one of the most valuable experiences of a firewalk is recognizing when you should or shouldn't walk on the coals.  People who have attended hundreds of firewalks don't always walk for various reasons and people who attend with no intention of walking on the coals sometimes choose to walk.  People who attend firewalk seminars have life changing experiences whether they choose to walk on the coals or not.

Can I just come and watch?
Yes.  But you must pay for your seat since space is usually limited.
