Spirit of the Earth Medicine Society (SOTEMS) - Sweat Lodge

A sweat lodge is an ancient cleansing and healing ritual practiced by many cultures throughout the world. Similar but more intense than a sauna, heated rocks are placed in an enclosed tent and water is then poured over the rocks to produce intense waves of heat. Sometimes herbs are used to produce a healing and soothing fragrance. The intention of the ritual is on cleansing of the body, stilling of mind and connection to ones own spirit.

Mixed Sweats - Each Sunday at 6pm from February through to December
Women Only Sweats - First Thursday of each month 7pm from February through to December
Men only Sweats - First Monday of each month 7pm from February through to December

SOTEMS have been running sweat lodges weekly at CERES since 1997 and continue to offer sweats at a minimum of once per week for $20 per session
