It was a massive day for us all yesterday - the pinnacle of the event, which is Sacred Sweat Lodge Day, using the First Nations Approach. After all the processing of the previous days, you could call it a rebirthing day - letting go of the old version of oneself, and being reborn anew.

It began with a wonderful ceremony - the Tibetan Agni Hotra, which is signaling ones heartfelt commitment to shed the fragmented layers of the ego.

Taken from above, from the studio's new central structure, which lent itself well...

Everyone has made "Icons" to represent the pain body they want to burn away. This was a marvellous one by Ella, a "cage" representing the inner pain body to burn away...

The sunny weather finally gave way to rain, which is perfect for the Sweat Lodge day, as it feels deeply cleansing. However, building the fire in the rain can be somewhat tricky!

Neverthless, we got a great fire going...

The pain body takes to the flames!

The rain did nothing to dampen spirits whatsoever - we celebrated the fire as we prepared for the Lodge...

Joy's Haka had to be experienced to be believed!

The warriors are ready!

It was a stunning lodge for sure - I'll share more later. For now, I trust it inspires a deepend sense of commitment to the path!

Bright blessings
