What we’re about
Welcome to the Chandler (non-traditional) Sweat Lodge meetup.com page! The Chandler Sweat Lodge welcomes people of all paths and traditions. We are a like-minded group of people who care about the healing of peoples mind, body and spirt.
What is Sweat Lodge?
Sweat lodge is older than written history. Many cultures around the world have used sweating for purification and healing. The Finns, Celtic tribes, ancient Greeks and Romans, and Eastern European peoples all used some sort of sweat bath for healing and purification. We are a non-traditional lodge, as our collective paths are many.
Sweating Safely - You may leave the lodge at any time. Honor yourself. If you feel too hot, you may leave, no one is forced to stay inside the lodge…. We offer a plunge tank if you so desire to take a plunge after the sweat.
Preparing for Lodge:
Sweat lodge is a sacred ceremony. Come with sacred intent. (an issue to pray, meditate or ask the universe for help with) We sweat for purification and rebirth, to pray, heal and have fun in the process. Smiles and laughter are always okay and welcome!
Eat light before lodge and drink water the day of to be hydrated. We suggest you abstain from alcohol or recreational drugs at least 1 day before the lodge and the day of lodge. You are seeking healing and purification, and it will be easier if you are more toxin free to begin with. Bring two towels, one for in lodge and one to dry with after lodge and loose fitting clothing to wear in sweat lodge (shorts & t-shirt or tank top are good. Bring plenty of bottled water to drink in lodge.
IF YOU HAVE ANY MEDICAL CONDITIONS--ESPECIALLY HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OR HEART CONDITIONS--YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN SWEAT LODGES.
