2012 Sweat Lodge Ceremonies (in Beaconsfield)
The
ceremonies are done in harmony and respect for
the Native
American tradition of going into a sweat lodge to purify ones mind,
body and connection to their soul. The way through the gates
into
the higher realms are believed to only be achievable by
releasing
the heavy and dead things inside of us; the toxins. In their
tradition the toxins are believed to be held in the mind
through
our negative thought forms, in the body and in the organs from the
poisons in our food, air and water. It is understood that the
toxicity is what creates the barrier between
the person and their soul and their higher calling.
We have become sleep walkers. Not fully alive and not fully dead.
Somewhere caught in the middle. The sweat lodge holds the key
to
unlocking and freeing all that you are. It allows a person to purify
and purge the toxins from their life by releasing them from the mind
and body. Once freed the person will be able
to connect
to their soul, their calling and to the powers within.
What goes on in
a Sweat Lodge?
Inside the igloo shaped hut, red hot rocks are placed in the middle of
the circle. Water and medicinal herbals are sprinkled on the
rocks. The steam released cleanses the body as it sweats out the
toxins. Drumming, rattling and chanting holds the beat that
soothes and calms the mind. Guided imagery takes you on your
healing journey into yourself.
The igloo shape is symbolic of a mothers
womb. It is
pitch dark inside. You are going into the womb of
Mother
Earth to re-create and re-birth yourself in your image. Another way of
looking at it is like a cocoon. You are going into the dark, into the
cocoon to re-create and then emerge as the butterfly.
The experience is empowering, transformative, life-altering and
definitely memorable.
This is the only sweat Lodge in Montreal. The ceremonies will be held
in Beaconsfield. Don't miss your chance to participate.
You must register ahead as
no more than 14 people will be allowed per sweat.
No-one under 12 is allowed. It is customary to have a few people
outside the sweat lodge holding prayers for those inside going through
the metamorphosis. If you wish to be one of the prayer holders, please
register as a prayer holder.

Intensive 3 Day Shamanistic Workshop™ in the Country
This course comprises 3 full days and 2 evenings of intensive soul communication. Each day begins with breakfast and then yoga. You will be led through many walks through the woods in meditation, learning to deeply and profoundly connect with the earth. You will learn earth rituals and methods to bring in the earth’s powers of healing and rejuvenation. Guided to a stream and/or lake, you will then do tree, rock, and/or bird merging meditations or what's called shapeshifitng. Come and experience one of the most powerfully altering self healings through the guided sweat lodge meditations (Native American tradition). These sweatlodge meditations (there are two) consist of a 3-4 hour intensive releasing created to move out all density, drama, trauma, fears, horror, programming, and all lived limitations… from your body all the way down to your DNA.
Together we will celebrate life with fires, drums, bells, chanting and ritual type meditations. Also invoked is cleansing, releasing and freeing self which will activate your mystical centers and powers during your ventures with the medicine wheel. You will be taught how to find your place and space upon it, how to use it for meditation, invocation, and what your location on the wheel has to do with who you are today. You will explore how it is a link to your past self and how you can heal all layers of your being – from both your physical and non-physical lives.
You will also learn techniques to begin to see auras. Beginning with trees and then moving the sight to the human body, you will learn to see each layer. You will learn how to interpret what you are seeing, feeling or perceiving. This is an intensive workshop designed to bring out your greatest gifts, especially your internal sight.
