Sweat Lodge Ceremony

The Sweat Lodge Ceremony is a spiritual ritual practiced by various Indigenous cultures, involving a heated, enclosed space symbolizing purification and renewal. Participants enter a dome-shaped lodge made of natural materials, where heated stones are used to generate steam through water poured over them. The ceremony often includes prayers, songs, and meditative reflection, aiming to cleanse physical, emotional, and spiritual impurities, foster community, and seek guidance or healing. It is conducted with respect and intention, emphasizing connection to nature, personal growth, and cultural traditions.
