All of this is the purpose of the lodge: we purify and empty and make room for Spirit and the goodness of life to fill us through offering, sharing, sweating, praying, talking, singing, surrendering and opening up to the experience of the unity of all life. And the beauty is that we get to do this together. As a sort of mini tribe we share all of it; our desires, our struggles, our laughter, our tears, and the ecstacy that comes with the invitation of the sacred, which is the sweat lodge.

My first experience of a Sweat Lodge ceremony was in the late 90's and during the intensive training program that I participated in for 10 years I then step by step developed the ability to hold the ceremony in its completeness.

From the very beginning I studied my own spiritual roots and that of the European people and am now reconnecting ceremonial sweat bath practice to the rituals and ceremonies of my ancestors, giving birth to what I've named the spirit lodge ceremony: a native European sweat lodge ceremony in harmony with our western spiritual heritage and connected to the roots of our lands.
