Here you will find all the information about our work and the activities we offer to help you develop your personal and spiritual knowledge.

SWEAT TENT RITUAL

When we close the door, everything positive and negative in our lives is intensified, wonderful thoughts and memories begin to well up in people while memories and symptoms of difficult experiences (traumas) tend to emerge for purification and healing.

We pray and sing together to the four directions (cardinal points), focusing our attention on the Great Mystery of life, as we surrender to the Great Spirit, our God and Creator (Maheo). When the hearts of the participants begin to open healing takes place, and we experience together, the healing power of Fire, Water, Earth and Air. The power and strength of the four elements keeps all human beings and all our relationships alive, and the teachings of the four directions (East, South, West and North) bring us knowledge and wisdom.

The Sweat Tent tradition led by Sauer was passed down by the elders of the Cheyenne Nation/Southern Arapaho to encourage young natives to participate and begin to learn this tradition through this wonderful healing ceremony. Within the tradition, this Sweattent ceremony should not be charged, but there is an agreement between the elders and the chiefs of the majority of the native tribes of North America, that donations in the form of currency are welcome.

Traditionally, tobacco is offered to the leader of the ceremony, or offerings of herbs such as sage, cedar, sweet grass or bear root are also welcome, as are firewood or “Stone People”. If you are interested in offering “Stone People”, or anything of nature, please offer tobacco first because that is the traditional way.

FIRE CEREMONY

In Native Traditions it is believed that fire is the natural element that helps us communicate with spirits and our ancestors, because if you listen close enough, you can hear them talking.

Fire helped in the creation of the universe and our own world, fire was and still is one of the most important elements for our life.

Come connect with this powerful element at our Bonfire Ceremony

HEALING CIRCLE WITH NATIVE CORNER

The Drum is considered a catalyst of energies, it emits natural sounds that relate to a refined energy available in the universe.

This vibration penetrates the matter of our bodies, relaxes the musculature, loosens the bonds between molecules and provides deeper levels of concentration, inviting us to connect our heart with the heartbeat of Mother Earth.

Together with the Drum we can externalize our emotions through the chants, vibrating out of the body, making our prayers with the sacred Native Chants, and creating a powerful vortex of strong energy, of healing energy.

It’s just that we do it in our Healing Wheel with Native Songs, we sing and play with our hearts!

Come and participate in a Roda de Healing where you will have the opportunity to learn native songs, different drum rhythms and experience the power of spiritual Healing attracted by sacred chants.
