I'm thinking of doing some (of course FREE) regular (weekly?) Live Streaming on YouTube (because I'm not busy enough) where I just present a method or talk about a subject like a specific Variable of the 22 Variables or one of the 4 Foundational skills or something or a subject someone asks me to talk about in advance, along with a Q&A on any PhyreKeeping subject at the end. These would end up as adding to all the free YouTube videos on the PhyreDojo channel of course adding to the PhyrePedia body of knowledge for any and all people. Thoughts?

Turns out I have a patient scheduled for Saturday Dec 5th - which was looking like the day we could all get together for Kevin's wonderful offer. If this is the only day that works, please know it's OK to go without me. Sorry. This is the life of a healthcare worker. If another day looks good let me know so I can double check my schedule. Joe

Final White Belt Workshop of the year 2026. Fun at the final White Belt Workshop of 2026. We did (PP) Phyre Plow, (PS) Phyre Saw & (PT) Phyre Thong. Since there were 4 new folks there, we gave them the now traditional gift of the PHRYST PHOUR (1st4) Methods: (TD) Toggle Drill (PD) Pump Drill (CD) Crutch Drill (ED) Egyptian Drill Next year 2027 will be the focused Theme of "Children & Families". We will have new technologies engineered for very young kids (maybe as young as 4 years old...) to be able to do PhyreKeeping! Stay Tuned. The regular Green Belt Workshops (folks MAKING their own sets) will continue through 2027. Gambarimasho Yo! Let's Keep Going! https://youtu.be/3dXT0CNisUI

It's been an epic summer for me for many reasons, one of which is a new level of personal achievement in the realm of phryction phyre. Thanks to new thinking from some awesome students at my phryction phyre workshops this year, I decided to try the "impossible" and used the Egyptian drill to successfully create coals with bulletwood, Quebracho, and finally Ipé. If you've tried Ipé, then you know it's difficult even on the toggle drill, but with dozens of students getting their Ipé coals under my belt as a teacher and with my own personal Ipé coals I've learned a thing or two about the right technique to use in approaching this resinous beast; with that kind of experience and dirt time, the "impossible" becomes possible. What else can we achieve together Phyre Dojo?!? What else is possible if we set our minds free from the limiting beliefs we currently hold? Let's fuck around and find out! Let's get after it!!!
