Winter Solstice Sweatlodge

Come and join us for our Winter Solstice Sweatlodge, where this seasonal gateway holds the energy of starting our journey back to the light after the darkness and the time within. 

The Sweatlodge is an ancient practice of purification of the body and mind, a rebirthing of the true self and a ceremonial way of prayer to connect with higher frequencies and to uplift the spirit.

It is a temple to honour the elements & life itself. The lodge embodies the womb of mother earth as she holds us in the darkness of her belly, the heated stones are her body which supports all life and as water is offered to the stones, the purification begins, allowing for us to return reborn and renewed.

In lodge, we journey downwards & inwards. Each person can offer personal prayers for self, for others, in gratitude or for releasing all that is not in resonance with our highest good.

In the darkness we can see more clearly as our prayers and intentions echo throughout the timeless lands of all that is. Honouring and anchored by the directions & seasonal gateways.

The heat and the healing herbs grant us a different type of spiritual cleanse – purifying the body, forgetting the outside world, feeling into what really matters in the present moment. We emerge lighter in spirit and closer to our own divinity.

This is a community gathering, with music, sharing & honouring. Here, the embers of our beings rise as the healing waters wash away stagnant energy, cleaning us where we need most.

......we welcome you to join us
