Overnight Sweat Lodge Ceremony
A ritual into the silence and darkness
with the five elements.
The Olmecs say: “That silence doesn't distract you”. Silence is an essential part of establishing a relation/communication with the elements and nature.To quiet our mind so we can be one with nature and the universe. Silence is often the origin of great ideas; it is an encounter with our truth selfs.
The Overnight Sweat Lodge is a ceremony that allows a deeper and more profound work with the unconscious and release/transmutation of energies or traumas. It is a powerful physical and energetic detox. It is a ceremony that brings together the 5 elements in harmony and intention.
The night invites darkness, the complete absence of light… The beginning of everything, the opportunity to go back to the “womb” and seek an opportunity to be born again. The elements of darkness and silence are complemented by the Sweat Lodge that is often referred to as the womb of Mother earth. The combination of the above plus the water, fire, the songs and prayers creates a healing and transmutation space that allows participants to experience a feeling of rebirth and clarity as they come out of the Sweat Lodge into the daylight.
As the light progressively makes its way back into nature and the seeds are ready to sprout, we should prepare ourselves to do the same. Our elders always talk about the importance of aligning with nature and its cycles.
“We are children of the Earth and the Sun and as we walk this earth we should do in harmony and respect nature and all forms of life.”
This Overnight Ceremony is also intended to help participants to prepare the “their Seeds” for the new year and set their clear intentions. Thus we step into the cosmic dance of the universe and into the concept of “Constant movement”. By aligning to nature we are bringing ourselves into nature's frequency and energy. Thus All our intentions/seeds will sprout beautifully and we will collect our harvest when it is ready.
“It is all about learning to work with nature and not against it.”
After the sweat Lodge we will gather around the fire for food and to bring “Integration” into what we experienced. It is important to work as a group to support each other
“ If you heal.. I heal. “
