| Thirteen people (plus three more who attended for a short
while) met at Joe Johnston's place near Brantford to build and then
participate in a sweatlodge.
The group met for lunch, provided by our hosts, Joe and Sherry. After a short meeting to discuss the sweatlodge structure and ceremony, people headed out onto the property to gather materials. The lodge was finished by sunset. The fire was then lit, rocks heated, and the lodge commenced. Afterwards we all met for a potluck dinner. Most people then went off to their homes. |
