NEW POLICY: With inflation everywhere, we are lowering our price from $50 to $40 for the next few months. When you RSVP, please send your financial contribution of $40 so we can have an accurate count of who is coming. See RESERVATION POLICY below for payment methods. For questions, contact Corina at 805-469-9849 or ccorinaharbula@gmail.com.

SACREDNESS: The sweat lodge is a sacred ceremony, so please come with a sacred intention, and maintain the focus of that intention throughout your time here with us. We come together to re-enter the womb of Mother Earth to be purified and reborn and have fun in the process.

RESERVATION POLICY: You can reserve through the meetup, but to guarantee your spot, you must offer your $40 financial appreciation in advance through venmo.com @Corina-Villeda-1 (preferred) or Zelle 805-469-9849. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU INDICATE WHO THE RESERVATION IS FOR IN YOUR VENMO OR PAYPAL TRANSACTION AND FOR WHICH MONTH YOU ARE RESERVING. Once you make your payment, your reservation will be marked paid on the meetup group event.

CANCELLATIONS: To receive a refund if your plans change, you must cancel within 24 hours.

TIMING: Please arrive by 4:45 pm. We will all be checked in and start the sharing promptly at 5 p.m., and an important part of the ceremony is the interaction and synergy that takes place through all of us sharing and supporting each other's intentions for the lodge. There is about an hour of preparation before going in the lodge, and once in the lodge, the ceremony lasts around 3 hours, sometimes less, sometimes more. Then we share our experiences for a bit after. Please plan on staying for the entire ceremony even if you do not stay in the lodge until the completion. This request is to honor all those in attendance and the ancestors who have come to join with us as well.

PARKING: If you get here on the early side and want to park in our driveway (if there is space), feel free.
Please park down the street a bit from our place (or really the farther away the better). And please not in front of the place to our left (facing our house that is). Our neighbors are not happy when there are a lot of cars parked in the cul-de-sac, and we want to keep the peace.

PREPARATION: Eat light before the lodge (not fasting, just don't eat a big lunch) and hydrate yourself well all day (but not too much just before going in for the sake of bladder comfort). We strongly recommend that you avoid heavy alcohol use at least 3 days before (and especially the day before) the lodge (and definitely not any alcohol the same day as it will dehydrate you, and you are going to need your hydration). You will be purifying, and it will be easier and more enjoyable the more toxin free you are to begin with. Bring two towels and loose-fitting cotton clothing (shorts & t-shirt are ideal or some people prefer bathing suits or trunks) to change into for the sweat lodge or wear your lodge clothes and bring clothing to change into afterward as you will be soaked. Sandals are helpful as well. Bring plenty of water to drink in between rounds of the ceremony. ½ gallon is recommend. IF YOU HAVE ANY MEDICAL CONDITIONS--ESPECIALLY HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OR HEART CONDITIONS--YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN SWEAT LODGES.

POSSIBILITY OF RAIN: In holding lodges here since October of 2008, we have never had rain that stopped us from getting the fire lit and heating the rocks, so we do hold them rain or shine of the moon.

MOON CYCLE: As a non-traditional lodge, we do not subscribe to the practice of prohibiting women from participating when on their moon cycle. So you are fine to join the lodge if you are on your cycle.

MEDICINE GIFT: The medicine gift is optional and always appreciated especially if it is your first time to the lodge. Substances relating to fire are always the best medicine gifts, such as bundled sage (which we are low on), sweet grass (which we have plenty of), and tobacco (which we have plenty of).

ADDRESS: 2593 Young Avenue Thousand Oaks, CA 91360.
