Nemenhah Itsipi Building and Ceremony (please read the description).

You and your friends are invited to the Itsipi ceremony. This is a mixed Sweat. We will construct a new lodge using the nemenhah tradition and sweat. Every participant should bring firewood. Love offering and fruits, nuts, and veggies to share afterward. Please bring a gallon of water for yourself, a blanket for sitting, towels, and a change of clothing.

Bring all your emotional hurts that you are ready to release. This is a time for prayer, healing, and learning!

Wood, stones, and blanket offerings help keep the Lodge running and are freely given. Many participants like to meditate, pray, and/or eat fruits and vegetables the day of or the day before a sweat. We highly recommend drinking lots of water and avoiding alcohol the day before!
