Empowerment through Ritual & Ceremony Classes
Required for those who wish to take up roles as Firekeeper and Water Pourer. Hua's teachings about sacred plants, the medicine wheel, feathers, shamanic journeying, shielding, opening the throat chakra and many more juicy and powerful lessons have been universally called extraordinary by those fortunate enough to attend. Advanced level classes are sometimes offered to those who have first taken this set of classes. Offered at a reduced price for Long Dancers. All others get the bargain rate of $125 for two full days of material, plus goodies. Both days are required. A non-refundable deposit of $50 is also required to hold your place. Out of towners are welcome to stay on Church grounds. Contact Hua for more details.

This is a women's prayer ceremony. This is a great first time ceremony for anyone wanting to explore our Medicine Way here at the Church. Wear a skirt and layers (for that little nip at night), bring a box of tea, a potluck something to nosh on, water. It will be very good to see and be with all the sisters. Please remember that we always need good drinking water here on the grounds for ceremony.
Hua has been pouring water for nearly 30 years. She is fully qualified to lead a safe, beautiful sweat and she creates a dynamic space of sacred prayer and transformation with her seasoned, experienced insight into the mysteries and wonders of the Sweat Lodge ceremony.
Men and women are welcome to join us and keep in mind to dress modestly - women dress in a sweat dress or skirt; men wear shorts and a tee shirt. You are welcome to come in an hour early to help with set up. In the event of rain, an indoor ceremony will be offered, with all other details remaining the same.
Wood donations are gleefully appreciated, as are monetary donations towards wood purchases.
There is a Potluck after Sweat Lodge, so bring your favorite dish to share and a gallon of good drinking water to donate!
Giveaway:
For the attendees, it is always proper etiquette to bring giveaway offerings for the 4 to 6 officers of the sweat to acknowledge their efforts on all our behalf. (Giveaway is a gift of your choice and/or tobacco offering showing your appreciation for officers providing services at Ceremonies).
Water:
When having ceremonies here at the church facilities, we require good drinking water for all to drink and for the sweat lodge ceremonies themselves. We are on a well here whose water is not good for drinking. So PLEASE do bring a gallon of good water to share.
