In the parent/child sweat lodge ceremony, we want to honor the relationship (connection) between parents, children and all living beings. In ancient traditions it is very normal for children and even babies to enter the sweat lodge with their parents. Rituals are a part of the education of these children. There is no such thing here in Europe.
The sweat lodge?
We nestle ourselves in the womb of the earth and surround ourselves with the warmth of the stones.
We connect the elements of earth, water, air and fire with our bodies physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually through song, songs, sound, intentions and prayer.
The sweat lodge is brought to children's size, in terms of heat, duration and light / dark
