Sweat Lodge Ceremony: Sat 11th November. 11am-4pm
The Sweat Lodge Ceremony offers a sacred place for introspection and connection, just a few miles outside of the City. Re-connect with nature and your essential wildness on Berkeley farm.
Our purpose is to gather and offer our prayers, in union with nature. It's from this place we can free our mind of distractions, and connect to our no egoic sense of self.
The process is a highly sacred, ancient rite of purification, long revered for its connection to the elements. The Sweat Lodge Ceremony consists of four rounds; earth, air, water, fire. This is to re-balance all 4 layers of our bodies; physical, emotional, mental & spiritual.
The physical benefits of the Sweat are: Cleanses the lungs, tones the nervous system, stimulates the immune system promotes free flowing of energy in the body. A key emotional benefit of the Sweat is the symbolism of returning to the womb space, there is great opportunity to connect with the inner child, and heal in this safe ceremonial space.
At Aho, we believe that nature is the ultimate medicine. And being in contact with her highly healing. During the Sweat you will be encouraged to make contact with the lower earth, grounding and rooting the lower chakras. Making contact with the Ancestral realm, the natural world and all our relations.
The Sweat Lodge will be held by Omar, who has a commitment with Great Spirit and Mother Earth, and his path is to help the people to heal themselves, by sharing the teachings he has learnt walking this path for 9 years now with the sacred mountain of the vision quest and now he is part of the Sundance family.
