Sweat Lodge: A Purification Ceremony

Sweat Lodge
A Purification Ceremony 



A sweatlodge is a purification ceremony - designed using all 5 elements:
Earth, Fire, Air, Water & your own Spirit as the 5th. A sacred fire
representing illumination and wisdom is used to heat stones from the earth
until they are red hot (passing this energy and light into them). These
stones are then taken through a doorway into a womb like structure called a
sweatlodge and placed in the hollowed out center on the earth by a
designated person - the fire-keeper. In this lodge pariticpants sit around
these stones on the earth and in connection to the earth with the intention
to purify. The door is then closed, making it pitch black inside and water
is poured on the stones to create steam and sweat. Prayers are asked
for different aspects of ourselves and our environment, drumming may raise
the energy and songs are sung until the door is opened once more at the end
of a round.

There are 4 rounds of the sweat, each representing a direction and aspect of
ourselves using a Native American psychology of a medicine wheel. The
intention is to not only to physically cleanse through sweating but also
emotionally, mentally and spiritually as we surrender ourselves to the
elements and the process of recognizing the importance of respect for all
creation in our actions.

Through this ceremony you may expect to find a deeper appreciation and
connection to yourself and the nature around you, find a sense of connection
and tribe with the others who participate, enjoy songs, learn something
about native cultures and psychology from where this ceremony originates and
importantly have fun while doing so!

At the end of the ceremony you are invited to lay down on the earth, drink
plenty of water, enjoy a shower and then join us for lunch. Note: please have
only a light breakfast beforehand and bring a towel for after. Participants
can be in swimwear or cover themselves with a sarong in the lodge but heavy
clothes are not worn.
