The Temazcal Healing Sweat Lodge is a traditional “Four Door” ceremony. This is a purification ceremony with 4 rounds, followed with a community gathering. The Temazcal takes us back into the womb of our Mother for cleansing and purification, this is a death and rebirth process. Our goal is to hold space where our community can join together to empower each other’s healing. The lodge will last as long or short as we need, but typically 1.5 to 2 hours.
The responsibility for your health considerations is your own, so please ask whatever questions you need to ensure your safety. It is expected that you are forthcoming and open about any health considerations you may have. Please consider that you will be in darkness, intense heat, and around smoke/fire, to create an environment which challenges you to grow. This is a no pay to pray ceremony, however monetary love offerings are greatly appreciated.
A few items we recommend bringing:
Plenty of water
1-3 Towels
Blanket (optional)
Bathing suit or something comfortable to sweat and get dirty in
Change of clothes
Drum/ rattles (optional)
Items you’d like for ceremony, totems/fetishes…etc (optional)
Healthy Food item/snack to share
**Please note the end time is set for 4 pm, however, this ceremony can go longer or shorter than noted. Depending on how many attendees and how long each attendee prays for for each round will determine how long this ceremony runs for. Please plan accordingly and make this day a day for just ceremony.**
Please be aware that it may be chilly out during our ceremony so the blankets and towels will be helpful.
Thank you all for walking this journey.
A’ho Mitakuye Oasin!
