Itsipi

The “Itsipi” (Sweat Ceremony) is a structure built with bendable tree branches of (willow or bamboo), following specific sacred geometry rules, and covered with blankets or cloth tarps. The lodge represents the “womb of Mother Earth” by which we come to be reborn through the spirit of the four elements.  In the lodge, we come to pray and to purify ourselves.  During this ceremony, many things can happen healing, reconciliation’s, forgiveness, realizations, insights, . . . etc. It is a return to the primal beginning.  At the source of all life.
