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.
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
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.
Practical and theoretical course aimed at those who work or want to work with healing techniques or for those who would like to know more about. One year of training and with each module you acquire the certificate, tools and supervision to start working with you and your clients. At the end of the entire course you will be able to be part of our social clinic.
