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!
