Courses
The lodge runs year long programmes following an ancient structure of teachings and ceremonies taking you through a series of initiations bringing self knowledge, healing and expansion into our greatest potential as human beings.
Flowering Tree Ceremony
Using the ancient knowledge of the Twisted Hairs, we give you the tools, techniques and understanding to help you journey into your unknown self. Applying the alchemy of ceremony brings direct experience of this knowledge into your body and life.
This is an invitation to embark on the Great Work, the inner journey to heal yourself and find the warrior within yourself.
Shamanic Training
When people become excited and passionate about knowledge, their hearts are touched and they hunger for more. Pleasure and knowledge spur them on the journey of life and the challenge it offers. When a person chooses to apprentice to a spiritual path that “sings in the heart”, he or she chooses a path that offers greater access to teachings that inspire self-growth and development.
The Sweet Medicine SunDance Path is one such path. When the SMSD path becomes your path with heart and you decide to apprentice, you enter into an agreement first with yourself and Great Spirit; secondly, with the Path and its lineage; and finally, with someone who has walked this path before you, a guide. Through spiritual discipline, study and ceremonial alchemy, the apprentice commits to self-growth and excellence.
