Dates and intentions for upcoming Sweat Lodges
2012 dates are still being worked out so as to not conflict with other retreats and projects that we involved with.
May - TBA - Men's only Sweat Lodge
This sweat is
a men's only sweat lodge. By request of a local men's group "Men with Spirit". This Sweat is
also open to any other men that would like to experience a fully
masculine Sweat Lodge. The main theme for this Sweat is "Venture into
the Universe Within". A personal journey experiencing the inner Selves
that make up who you are. Possibly healing wounds that have been with
you for a very long time. At the end of the Sweat you will have a far
greater understanding of who you are in the inside. A Man living with
SPIRIT.

Men with Spirit June - TBA - Summer Solstice
On the
longest day of the year, with the Sun at its highest point in the sky,
the people of the land rejoice in the Sun's life-giving warmth and
ability to make things grow. The intent for this Sweat will be to focus
on how you are growing with the Sun’s life-giving warmth in your life.
There will be a short session before this Sweat to ensure all entering
the Lodge are prepared for this journey with what they need to bring in
for healing or as support to others in their need.

Once again
the days and nights are of equal length and many traditions acknowledge

from the ease of summer to the colder tasks of winter. There will be a
short session before this Sweat to ensure all entering the Lodge are
prepared for this journey with what they need to bring in for healing or
as support to others in their need.

Oct - TBA - Samhine
This is the time of year the light noticeably fades. Pagans
reflect on and review the past year and welcome the Celtic New Year. In
this season, Pagans also honor death as a part of the sacred circle of
life and remember those who have died. There will be a short session
before this sweat to ensure all entering the lodge are prepared for this
very special journey.
This will also be a "SKYCLAD" sweat. Once in the lodge and the gate is closed, any clothing must be removed. As we came into this world and as we will leave this place with nothing. That is how this sweat will be. No masks to hide behind. This journey is to visit those who have gone before us and a time for healing and making right with them.

This sweat is also very dependent on the weather. To cold with wind will cancel this sweat as we have Fire Keeps standing by at all times and to have them out in the cold for to long will not do at all.
