We don’t follow any particular doctrine in the Sweat Lodge. However, The Jazzfarm Sweat Lodge is a sacred place… the people in the circle make it that way. As such, it is a serious affair, and the space is respected. All beliefs from all over are welcome within our Lodge.
By the time we pack 25-30 passengers inside, the heat to some becomes a secondary issue. The issue of sitting on a grass mat with little space is a whole discipline in itself. We usually cap the lodge at 25 passengers. Full enough to be a bit cramped, but packed with energy and spirit. The darkness of a Lodge is a great place to make a noise.
Maybe it’s just for the detox, perhaps you’re in it for the mind clarification, or you may be getting over something or someone. There have been stag nights and a funeral ceremony. Whatever your reasons, we invite you to take yourself beyond your perceived limits. Get lost in the power of the ceremony, sing as loud as you want in the anonymity of the pitch black, or simply remain silent and meditate the heat away.
