Please remember that ceremony is a time to find harmony in the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of life. The time leading up to ceremony and after is an important time to reflect and prepare your bodymind. Please take your time before ceremony to reflect on your intentions and connect with your body, mind, and spirit. It is encouraged to abstain from alcohol and drug use for 2 weeks prior, and encouraged for participants to eat mindfully as the sweat is a purification process.
I am looking forward to sharing sacred space with all of you. Ending this message with a reflection we are connected to the earth, and when we gather in ceremony to listen, she teaches us the Way to live in harmony.
