Sweat Lodges
The Sweat Lodge is a sacred ceremony for cleansing, healing and creating anew on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. It is a powerful tool for transformation. It has been used in Native American traditions for centuries.
The Sweat Lodge connects us with the 4 elements air, fire, water and earth and the seven sacred directions east, north, west, south, above, below and within. Through the process we connect on a very deep level with our own sacred space and the divine within.
I am a trained Shamanic Ceremonial Practitioner, trained by Michelle Reid from "The Beauty Way".
Since 2019 I am offering Sweat Lodges on a regular base.

It is a "admin only" group.
For this particular Sweat Lodge Ceremony, I received the message to bring in the spirit of butterfly. The butterfly exemplifies the power of transformation. The spiritual medicine of the butterfly encourages us to embrace change in our lives, to let go of what no longer serves us, and to welcome new beginnings with an open heart.
