About this event
Why glass-walk?
Glass-walking is completely different from fire-walking, its a slow deliberate walk across a bed of broken glass (mainly empty wine bottles). Glass-walking is about self belief and giving yourself 100% to the moment.
Firewalk Scotland who deliver the event have been established since 2006 and has a well established reputation for being able to provide exciting, life changing events and courses. “A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step”, whether your reasons for coming along are spiritual, you are fund-raising or thrill seeking we want you to have a great experience, so there are a few rules:
• Participants must attend a 90 minute workshop prior to the glass-walk (otherwise how do you know what to do) there is no hypnotherapy or magic involved, hopefully it’s fun and inspiring.
• You must not drink before or during the workshop (we want you to have a great night being brave all by yourself, fill your boots afterwards).
• No phones are permitted during the workshop or on the glass itself- we are happy to take photos for you.
• Please don’t prepare your feet with lotions or potions, if you have nail polish on that’s absolutely fine.
• Please wear shoes that come off easily (no knee high lace up boots) and no tights please - you’d just need to take them off. If you are wearing trousers, you will need to roll them up a little for the walk. Feel free to wear shorts or a skirt.
• Spectators can’t sit in on the workshop, they are very welcome and should arrive 15 minutes before the actual fire-walk so approx 1hr 15 mins after you. (please check this out with event organisers).
On the night of your event:
• Glass-walkers should arrive in plenty of time for the workshop which lasts around 90 minutes.
• When our glass-walkers arrive they will be asked to complete a disclaimer which states that they are both drug and alcohol free and that they are walking at their own risk.
• Spectators are NOT permitted to sit in on the workshop
• After the workshop the group are then ready to walk on broken glass, the glass-walk is around seven foot long and depending on the length of your legs can usually be covered in a few steps.
• Start to finish the event runs for around 2 hours.
• Health & Safety is our number one priority, all of our events are insured for £5 million, however the act of walking on broken glass is uninsurable. Although we have a proven track record for providing well managed, safe events, we always bring a full first aid kit.
