Sweat Lodge Ceremony

The sanctuary does not currently have any sweat lodge ceremonies scheduled. If you would like to receive a personal email when this opportunity becomes available again, we welcome you to send an email to essence@inspirationcommunity.org with SWEAT LODGE in the subject line. We look forward to the return of this sacred offering in 2023. 

For email updates please join our mailing list. 

Everyone is welcome and everyone can participate. The beginning of the ceremony is building the fire, covering the lodge and preparing the site. Bring ample water to drink or a water bottle that you can refill here, a light snack, a towel and suitable clothes for the lodge. We happily welcome guests who are new to sweat lodges as well as those who have attended many times before. Bring your intentions, prayers, songs, heart, body, mind & spirit for a morning immersed in nature and magic.

If you are able, donations of cantaloupe-sized rocks like granite, basalt or limestone are always appreciated. We ask donations of $20 for the sweats and if you can give more, the non-profit community will certainly put those funds to great use. Most of the donations collected at our sweats have gone directly back into maintaining and improving these ceremonies and the structure of the lodge itself. Many thanks to all of you who have worked and participated to keep these ceremonies alive and vibrant here for so many years. We honor you and all of our ancestors.
