The Heat & The Experience

Inside the lodge, the heat builds with each round as water is poured over the glowing stones, releasing waves of steam and it becomes hot. The intensity is part of the medicine, inviting surrender, breath, resilience, and trust.

You will sweat. You may feel challenged. You may feel emotional, expansive, deeply still, or profoundly connected. The heat works on the physical body, encouraging detoxification and release, while the prayers and darkness work on the spiritual and emotional layers.

You are always encouraged to listen to your body. Participation is invitational, and there is space for choice within the lodge.

The ceremony usually lasts around 2–3 hours. 

​

The Day & What to Expect​​

​From arrival, the day itself is held in community as everyone grounds and shares the journey of blessing the rocks, carrying the firewood, dressing the lodge ready for ceremony and spend our time with music, intention setting, conversation, personal reflection or whatever feels right for you in the moment whilst we wait for the rocks to be hot enough to enter.

Before we enter the lodge, there will be a talk to go through any considerations, expectations and what happens within the ceremony.

After the ceremony, we will enjoy food together. There will be a locally sourced vegan/vegetarian dish provided whilst we dine under the trees or within the earth lodge.​​​​​

​

You are also warmly encouraged to return the following morning to undress the lodge. This is considered an integral part of closing the ceremony with gratitude, and respect for the space, the land, and the spirits who were present. Ending together in this way helps integrate the experience and brings the ceremony into wholeness.​​​​​ This begins at 10am and lasts between 1-2 hours.​
