Taking part in a sweat ceremony, whether you enter the sweat lodge or not, is a very powerful experience. It can offer people a time to reconnect to one another, do some personal healing, recharge, and learn some of the teachings the Elder that is running the sweat ceremony shares. If you would like to participate in the Sweat Ceremony you can get more details from your worker.
