SWEATLODGE CEREMONY

It has been known for centuries that the use of heat and steam to cleanse the body is very beneficial.  Many cultures around the world also know that to combine this process with the healing energies of our Earth Mother not only cleanses the body but can also cleanse, release, and heal the Spirit.

A sweatlodge is generally constructed of tree branches bent to make a dome.  It is covered with blankets to create a dark womb-like space.  There is a pit in the center into which hot rocks are placed and water is poured on them to create steam.

The ceremony varies and can include release rituals, drumming, songs, prayers, and silence.  Often the purpose is to let go of that which no longer serves and to be reborn into the world to begin again.  A sweatlodge ceremony (a sweat) is also used for journeying and Vision Quest preparation.

Sweats can be tailored to the needs of specific groups or individuals. "Community sweats" are ceremonies that have a specific intention and are geared toward group participation.  Community sweats are offered on a regular basis.  Click here for a schedule of upcoming sweats.

Therapeutic Sweatlodge for Individual and Couples

Sweatlodge is a highly effective tool for cleansing the Body Mind and Spirit. It is also highly effective for moving stuck energies, recieving a vision or transmission from spirit and letting go, possibly for the last time, of those issues that seem to hang on and on. In the sweatlodge a person can let go of what no longer serves them, discover a new way of seeing and feeling and step into the world a new person.

For couples the sweatlodge is a very useful and safe place to gain a new perspective, recieve guidance from Spirit, let go of and move past hurtful events and feelings and change the nature of the relationship for the better. It is a great way to prepare for a marriage or engagement and a wonderful process for healing in times of difficulty or divorce.

I work with the indiviual or couple in 1 or 2 sessions prior to the lodge and in 1 or 2 sessions afterward. The sessions are designed to prepare the individual or couple to come to the lodge ready to do what needs to be done and to process the work that has been done.

The fee for this service is $200 for individual and $300 for couples

(This  is based upon 3 sessions and time preparation for the lodge, there is no fee for the lodge itself. The cost will vary depending upon the number of sessions required and will be agreed upon by all parties prior to beginning the process in a free consultation.)

Breathing with the Goddess

We women have lost our connection to our own divine self because we have forgotten that we are created in the image and likeness of Spirit that is woman in the form of the Goddess. This is a series of sweatlodges specifically designed to help women rediscover the Divine Feminine within by connecting to and creating a relationship with the Goddess in her many forms.  Through ceremony and ritual we will learn to be the goddess in the physical plane world. The next lodge will be on Sunday April 17th. We will begin at 11:00 am.

There is room in the lodge for 11 women so sign up soon to secure your place!
