From the Lakota Sioux Sweat Lodge

Endurance, cleanliness,
strength, purity
Will keep our lives straight
Our actions only for a good
purpose.
Our words will be truth.
Only honesty shall come from our interaction
With all things.


(From the Lakota Sioux Sweat Lodge ceremony entry in Prayers for Healing: 365 Blessings, Poems, & Meditations)

    Raquel,

    I'm sorry...I don't know of any. I've never even been to a Sweat Lodge, but I'm sure I'd love the experience. Good luck!

    Hi Raquel,

    No, I'm not Lakota.
    Good luck with learning the language. Let me know what kind of progress you make, OK?
