Three ways to step into the fire

Watch it, learn it, or let it work on you. Each path carries the same intention.

Sacred Fire

Fire ceremonies, retreats and Internal Ignition: intention, energy work and sacred fire bubbles.

See ceremonies →
“The more time we spend around any person, place or thing, the more we begin to take on its characteristics. The elements are no different.”

Through my own relationship with fire, I've found warmth, passion, confidence and a sense of presence that has truly transformed my life.

That's what I bring to every flame I light. Whether you're watching a show, picking up a staff for the very first time, or lying still while fire bubbles burn on your heart, the intention is the same. I'm here to assist you in remembering the fire that already lives within you, and to brighten it together.

Always Showing Support, Inspiring Self Trust. That's what assist means to me.

Fire is the medium. You are the point.

Fire Shows

Not just tricks. Every show is built around the feeling you want in the room, and every one ends with your guests carrying a little of that fire home.

I'm a divine flow artist. I let the music move through me so you can see it and feel it. Some moments are set to the song in what I call divine choreography, and the rest is pure flow, channeled live. That's where the magic happens.

ARTIST COLLABORATIONS

Some of the most magical moments happen when different artists share the same stage. I regularly team up with fire groups like Ignite Fire Arts and Lava Flow Fire, and I love weaving in performers from other worlds too. Live musicians, dancers, aerialists, acrobats, circus and flow artists all bring something different, and fire has a way of tying it all together. If you have a vision, I'm always open to creating something together.

Fire Lessons

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to spin fire? No experience needed. Just an open mind and a willingness to try something new.

220+

When I started teaching, I set an intention to introduce 100 people to fire for the very first time, and I shared it as a passion project until I got there four years later. Then I kept going on donations until 200. Today I've guided over 220 people through their first fire spin. My favorite part never changes: that moment someone goes from fear to complete presence with the flame.

Every lesson includes safety education and guided instruction. Live fire depends on readiness, location and weather, and there's never any pressure to do something you're not comfortable with.

Sacred Fire

Fire has been one of the greatest teachers in my life. Through fire ceremonies, retreats and Internal Ignition, I share what it's taught me, from intimate one-on-one sessions to full retreat experiences.

Internal Ignition is a deeply intentional ceremony that brings together energy work, personal intention and the element of fire. It isn't a performance, and it isn't a spinning lesson.

We begin by connecting and talking about what you're carrying. Through intuitive energy work, I feel into what's present and create space for you to acknowledge what you're ready to let go of, and what you're ready to ignite.

Then we bring those intentions into a physical ceremony with sacred fire bubbles, symbolically burning away stagnant energy and inviting your inner fire to shine a little brighter.

Every experience is different because every person is different. It can be hard to put into words. Most people don't try.

Fire & Full Moon Ceremonies

For more than seven years I've been holding fire ceremonies, including a monthly gathering under the full moon. Each one brings a welcoming circle, intentions, a shared flame and first-time spinners. Alcohol free, community driven, and open to newcomers. Reach out to get on the list.

Internal Ignition is a spiritual practice and ceremonial experience. It is not medical or psychological treatment.

The artist

Hi, I'm Tyler.

Spinspyre comes from three words: spin, inspire and pyre. I'm a fire performer, a fire spinning teacher and a ceremony facilitator based in the Salt Lake Valley.

Fire found me, and it changed how I show up in the world. The torch was passed to me by my mentor, and I carry that lineage with a lot of respect. That's why I take safety, permits and the intention behind every flame seriously.

I don't see the fire as the main event. The main event is what it wakes up in you.

See you at the fire. Tyler
