Standing Bear Community presents...
November Inipi (WV)
When: Nov. 21st. 2009
Where: Charles Town, West Virginia
Monthly Sweat Lodge Ceremony
Event Details: Sweatlodge is a ceremony performed for the purpose of prayer for help, health and healing. This ceremony is performed in a small lodge with heated stones and will be run with four doors. This means that the door of the lodge will be opened a total of four times during the ceremony, this honors the four directions. During each round, when the door is down, there are sacred songs, prayers are spoken and sometimes teachings are given. The Water Pourer will call for silence when the stone people are being brought in at the beginning of each round, out of respect for the stone people being honored to help with the ceremony.
We suggest bringing towels for your use during and after the lodge (two typical bath towels is sufficient) , a sarong or other attire to wear during the sweat, and a gallon or two of water to help contribute to the ceremony.
Following the ceremony, we have a shared meal that is brought by those who attend and help with the ceremony. The communal meal is an important part of ceremonies. Please, do not leave the ceremony without thanking the Water Pourer, Singer and Fire-tender.
We respect that you come to Ceremony with an understanding of your spiritual path and traditions, our Ceremonies are not restricted to any specific religion, tradition or path. Ceremony is a way of life and a time for prayer. Pets, alcohol, and illegal substances are not allowed.
Standing Bear Community does not charge for Ceremonies. However, due to the obligations under which we work it is very helpful when people choose to make a donation. Money is always appreciated, it helps to pay for tarps, wood, gas for lawnmowers etc., but donations come in many different fashions; tobacco, sage, sweetgrass, tarps or blankets and helping out.
