Equinox Sweatlodge

The sweatlodge (NL Zweethut) is a tradition that comes to us from North America where it has a central place in rites of passage and annual celebrations. Evidence of similar practice is also found throughout Europe. The lodge is made of blankets stretched over branches. Fire-heated stones are brought inside and water poured on. We take it in turns to speak words that are important to us in that moment. Heat, steam, darkness and smell of Earth come together to amplify intentions, release emotions and conjure insight.

You’ll be asked to arrive in the morning, making sure you’ve had a light breakfast. Bring light clothes (Shorts or sarong) to change into and a blanket to sit on. Bring plenty of water, high energy snacks such as raisins and nuts. We’ll build the sweat lodge together in quiet companionship, our purpose for the day swimming into focus. Then the fire is lit, the ceremony guided and entry into the sweat lodge shortly after.

Nityananda is a gifted ceremony holder, honouring the tradition of sweat lodge with ease and intensity.

This is a beautiful day, where honesty and surrender is tested. Connections with storytelling, myth and nature connection are easy to draw.

Those attending November’s Return to Belonging are highly encouraged to come as part of their preparations.
