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 3 to 3.5 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!
Wopila!

The Kiva Prayer Lodge is an evening ceremony in a circular underground earth kiva. In the center is a sacred fire. The structure of the ceremony is designed to provide participants a structure to perform their individual practices. It is open to all forms of communion with the divine realm provided it can be done within the kiva.

All faiths and practices of divine communion are welcome. We gather for the lodge at 7:30 pm arriving a little early will allow us to start and end on time. The time of completion ranges from 11pm to midnight. We request all who participate to remain until completion.

After the ceremony, a shared feast is done to complete the ceremony. Brings something that will not require additional cooking. We can keep things cool though and an insulated container could keep other things hot.

A monetary love offering will help with the upgrade and upkeep of the Kiva but not mandatory, we are old school, no pay for pray here.
