All Nations Sweat Lodge Ceremony
The All Nations Lodge is inspired by Native Americans of the Great Plains. It is a spiritual form developed for non-natives who have the respect and sincerity needed to benefit from this purification ritual.
We heat stones in a sacred fire and bring them into the lodge where they are blessed with herbs and prayers. In this dome-like structure, we sing and pray to affirm our connection with all of creation.
Water is poured on the stones to create a healing steam which helps us to release toxins and open our energy centers. We offer this ceremony with respect and gratitude for the Creator, for the Earth and all her creatures, and for our native brothers and sisters who have kept this sacred ritual alive despite centuries of persecution and misunderstanding.
The Lodge is open to all seeking health and healing and a deeper relationship to the Earth.
