This Sweat lodge ceremony is poured following Lakota traditions. All are welcome as long as come with open/positive mind and respectful heart.
Please show up in work clothes to help build the fire and clean up grounds. Please bring a rake if you have one. As our elders taught us, “work is worship”. Thus, the building of the lodge and making relations with our grounds is part of the ceremony.
To go into the lodge, please bring 1 or two towels and appropriate clothes to wear into lodge. Men should wear shorts and women should have long skirt and shirt covering shoulders. Traditionally, you bring a tobacco offering for the fire, the intercessor and the firekeeper.
There is no charge for this ceremony, but each person should bring something to contribute to our feast afterwards. Here are other things our center would appreciate:

Firewood (aged)
Rocks (suitable for heating in lodge)
Sage, Sweet grass, Flat cedar
Personal Blankets
paperware (plates, cups, napkins, utensils, paper towels, toilet paper)

We will begin prepping for ceremony around 12pm but you are welcome to come as early as 10am if you’d like to help around our facility. We will also be practicing songs and learning how to make prayer ties. We will likely go into the lodge around 330 so the ceremony will not conclude to around 6pm (after the meal). We have electricity in case you want to bring a crockpot.
Please understand that if this is your first time, part of the teachings of this way of life our respect, patience and generosity. So, there may be several reasons you are asked to offer support and pray outside the lodge. If it is crowded and we have enough supplies, we may pour back to back lodges. We will practice safe social distancing and encourage the wearing of a mask when possible. Please do not come if you have any flu-like symptoms.

Spiritual Perspectives and Agni Hotra Ceremony (by Siniti)
2020-10-17 16:00 - 19:00
This will be a fireside lecture with guided practices and will conclude with a sunset demonstration of an Agnihotra fire ceremony.
If anyone new to Agni Hotra would like to actively participate in the Agni Hotra ceremony, they will have kits available for sale.
This will include the exploration and skillful use of meditation methods, yogic techniques, sacred rituals, concepts, and insights for unfoldment of one’s real self. To understand one’s place and purpose in the greater whole, it is necessary to become a participant or agent for harmony and love in our troubled times. A true dawning of spiritual wisdom comes from the unification of experience and insight. Therefore, emphasis in this course is the importance of tying sacred concepts to experience.
Over 40 years ago, Siniti Oneda had the fortune of being thrust into the Sacred Journey and was blessed to be under tutelage of several spiritual beings on the way. He brings experiential insight having taught over 20 years of yoga and meditation from the Eastern Tradition, and over 35 years as a Sundancer from the Native American Medicine tradition. Today, Siniti feels the greatest joy being with his family.
While the talk will begin at 4pm, anyone is allowed to attend as long as you make it here by 5pm. This is when the intro to Agni Hotra will begin.
Cost: $20
