Sweat Lodge Ceremonies at Merkaba Retreats
|
At Merkaba Retreats, we honor the sacred tradition of sweat lodge ceremonies, a time-honored ritual for purification, healing, and spiritual renewal. These transformative ceremonies, guided by experienced facilitators, provide a profound opportunity to connect with yourself, the elements, and the wisdom of ancient practices.
What is a Sweat Lodge Ceremony? A sweat lodge is a sacred space—a domed, enclosed structure heated with hot stones—used for prayer, reflection, and physical purification. This ceremony invites participants to release physical and emotional toxins, offering renewal for the body, mind, and spirit. |
