"What is the name of desire?" She asks the sage. After a long search, he answers her: "The desire is what you call it. You can only name it yourself. Sometimes there is suddenly a spark that stops you wondering and at the same time makes you go on your way. One thing I can tell you; the name of desire means coming home.
The sweat lodge ceremony is an ancient tradition. A ritual of all races and times. We will sit down and sweat in a round hut representing the womb of the earth (the receptive, caring force). In the fire pit, the representation of the sun (the dynamic and creative power), the stones are made red-hot. The stones are then, as if it were 'sperm cells', brought into the 'womb' to fertilize the lives and consciousness of the participants. Enabling the possibility of rebirth.
Our approach is inspired by the traditions of the East, West, South and North. The sweat lodge ceremony includes 4 doors (or rounds), each of which is devoted to a wind direction and the corresponding aspects of the body. We work with the power of songs, sound, intentions, focus of attention, prayer (in a non-religious context), the word and the silence.
Entering this 'womb' is a powerful experience that stimulates all of our senses and organs. The body cleanses of toxins, stress and unnecessary energetic ballast that we carry unconsciously. The ceremony allows us to transform our lives and see the way we experience the world around us from a new perspective. To deepen our understanding of what life really means and to be open to innovation and well-being.
