One Day Retreats - Sweat Lodges

The sweat lodge is a powerful purifier and brings to the surface deeply buried psycho-emotional material. In order that we can process this in a safe and empowered way it is important we are prepared to embark upon such a journey and we have some idea of how to work with this material when is arises.  During the consultation we will look at your current state of being and gain a better understanding of what unconscious forces may be underlying your emotional patterns and state of mind so that when you are in the sweat lodge you feel relaxed and confident to work through these challenges and unprocessed material in a safe and grounded way.

Please note, there are no exceptions, regardless of whether you have attended sweat lodges elsewhere before.

Yes, a light breakfast.

Everyone has a different reaction depending on what one is processing.  It’s important to have a restful night after the lodge and a good sleep.  Keep hydrated and relaxed.

Just as with any therapeutic practice it is of limited benefit to come to one lodge and expect a huge shift.  Just as we would not expect to feel a significant difference after one yoga class or meditation session, nor should we after a single sweat lodge. The sweat lodge should be viewed as an auxiliary practice to a long term healing process with regular one to one sessions to help one open and liberate deeply held emotional and energetic patterns.  Optimum health and wellbeing can be achieved but this takes time and dedicated practice, so as with any practice, only through consistency can we hope to make progress.

No foreign elements are introduced.  We are encouraged to work only with what is already here: our current state of mind, state of body and emotional material.  This is an earthy practice: how to make friends with ourselves and the world we create.
