Welcome - Pit fire. There is no end to the ‘inner journey’ while we are here, embodied, and on the physical plane. Sometimes we would like it to end, but if you're here, it's going on. Welcome to Pit Fired Pottery. Inner journeys produce inner material. As we grow, we uncover, excite and activate our own inner material from every relationship we have. As the ‘activated material’ rises to the surface, we experience many emotions. They leave their marks. We discover our boundaries. We write our Story.
