A Purification Lodge, or Asi of the Cherokee Nation is a ceremonial sweat bath for prayer and healing which purifies the body and mind of toxins and creates spiritual harmony and balance within yourself, your community, and the environment. It may also stimulate visions and insights from the universe, your guides, or elders for your spiritual journey.

The ceremony will be guided by Joseph White Owl of the Cherokee Nation. He will provide a safe, supportive, and loving environment for participants to process what may arise inside the Asi. The ceremony will include prayer, mantras, song, and music, releasing what no longer serves you while giving gratitude and thanks. You will exit the Asi feeling energised, reborn, and pure.

The Asi will be followed by a grounding vegan lunch.

Finally, we will finish the day with a private Ancient Sound Healing session to further your mystical and ethereal experience. Joseph White Owl will use only ancient instruments such as the gongs, 

drums, Native American Flute, Tibetan singing bowls, chimes, rain makers, the human voice and more guiding you into an effortless state of relaxation.
