STONE PEOPLES LODGE  w/ Jorge Arenivar (sponsored by the Living Free Foundation)

The sweat lodge ceremony is common to indigenous peoples all over the earth and is part of the ancestry of most of us if we trace our roots far enough back.  It is an opportunity to turn off the outside world, experience our connection with the land, and journey deeply into ourselves.  Arrival time around 8 AM is suggested; the estimated entry time is 10 AM.  As always, please bring modest sweatlodge attire, a few towels, and a healthy dish to pass.  For more information email: lodgecouncil at gmail.com or contact Karen at 248.670.2560.  Note:  It is not necessary to pre-register for this event.
