The Sweat Lodge ceremony is a sacred place of healing – where the community comes together to purify body, mind and spirit. It is a common understanding that the sweat lodge is a ceremony of our rebirth, of honouring the old way, of embracing the new. 

 

Inside the darkness of the hut, as the beads of sweat form and the detoxification begins,  one can hear the beat of the drum as song fills the space. A skilled facilitator guides participants through the rounds of sweating, calling for new stones at the end of each round. It’s a place of prayer for ourselves and all of humanity, for the Earth and all our relations.
