Sweat Lodge SUNDAY 11AM
Tamare White-Wolf is the Medicine Woman Facilitating the Sweat Lodge .
Why come to the Sweat Lodge? It is an opportunity to be reborn unto your true self, through prayers and letting go of things that no longer serve our highest good, we heal and recharge our souls and align with our authentic spirit! A time to reconnect to Great Spirit and our Ancestors through the Grandfather and Grandmother Stones. An opportunity to find answers in order to release and have closure. A time to rejoice in what makes us who we are, who we are becoming and who we wish to become! A time to pray for family and friends, for health, safety and security. We come to Sweat for individual reasons. Sometimes we need to return to the mothers womb and get a new start, a new beginning, Our Sweat awaits you! Blessings of Healing that you made the choice, see you soon! REGISTER HERE PLEASE Blessings Tamare
