    This way saved my life. I was struggling with addiction, feeling lost and broken. The sweat lodge helped straighten out my life and my relationships by providing a place of healing, reflection, and renewal. The intense heat and sacred rituals taught me to face my pain head-on, cleanse my mind and spirit, and find inner strength. Since that experience, I’ve been sober for 14 years. The journey wasn’t easy, but the sweat lodge gave me the foundation to rebuild and stay connected to my true self and those I love.

    My first sweat lodge was basically my last resort. My life was a mess due to my alcohol addiction. My relationship was compromised, my job, my home, a lot was in disarray. When I found the sweat lodge, I discovered a new way of life that made me see & understand the beauty and simplicity in all the gifts of nature and what life truly had to offer.

    Testimony

    The inipi sweat lodge and community surrounding has greatly helped me face and heal many traumas I had from a boy through my teen years. It all helped shape me into a better, more compassionate and virtuous man, and know a sense of belonging in community. Also to find a sense of purpose and passion for life when for so long I felt lost and misguided. I have seen so many others heal and I believe it can help anyone.
