What should I bring?
​
Please bring a towel and water bottle.
Water is not permitted inside the lodge but encouraged to drink before starting.
​Dress code for Men:
Men should wear shorts.
​Dress code for Women:
Dress code for women is covered shoulders and preferably a long skirt.
(A good old t-shirt and maxi skirt works great.)
​​
​Women on their “Moon Time” will not be permitted inside the lodge as this is a most sacred time and the body is already naturally purifying. There is a designated space available for prayer and song while lodge is taking place.
If you have questions and are not sure what is appropriate for you, or your condition at the time, be sure to ask the Ceremonial Leader or a knowledgeable staff person before entering any ceremony.
Individuals who have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol within 24 hours preceding the Ceremony are not allowed to enter the Ceremonial area or the Sweat Lodge.
The Offering:
​
By tradition, an offering is always given by each participant before entering into ceremony.
Traditionally and historically, the offering is one considered valuable and of support to the ceremony and to the support of the Ceremonial Leader.
​
The participant determines the offering based upon his or her spiritual guidance and intentions.
​
All Ceremonies are free of cost.
​
We suggest a $40 cash offering that goes directly to the Spiritual Leader, who has incurred the many costs that allow this ceremony to take place. These costs include automobile travel, wood, lodging, tarps, gathering stones and medicine, fuel for chainsaws, etc.
​
For Healings, a cash donation is also greatly appreciated, needed and appropriate. ​
For safety precautions, please get tested for Covid 19 within 24-72 hours before coming to the Sweat Loge.
​
A negative test result helps us know that we are keeping each other safe as we gather together.
Thank you!!​
Out of respect and by natural law, we always give an offering before we take anything for our needs.
We always leave our ceremonial areas clean and natural.
We ask that you refrain from any activities that disturb or damage the natural habitat.
