** NOTE ON WHAT TO BRING AND WEAR
In keeping with tradition, it's customary to bring a small gift or donation as a gesture of respect and gratitude for the sweat lodge ceremony. You might consider bringing an offering such as tobacco, sage, or a small monetary donation.
To ensure we honor the traditions and everyone remains comfortable, we kindly ask the following:
Participants should dress modestly.
For men: Please bring swim trunks and a towel.
For women: Please wear a long (maxi length) skirt or dress and bring a towel.
These guidelines help us maintain the integrity and respect of the ceremony.
Please feel free to contact James @ 306-529-6293 or Julius @ 306-552-3801 on how to attend.
As a commitment to Indigenous mental health equity: CMHA Saskatchewan Division commits to working with Indigenous people to advocate for equitable access to services.
Part of our ongoing efforts are to address the mental health needs of Indigenous Veterans and Frontline Protectors in our community and across the province, and so we are hosting land-based healing sessions. These sessions are conducted by Indigenous Knowledge-Keepers who keep the traditions alive and maintain the authenticity. The primary aim of these sessions is to offer a safe and supportive environment where Indigenous Veterans and Frontline Protectors can explore holistic healing modalities that integrate physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
While the sessions are open to all Indigenous Veterans and Frontline Protectors, we recognize the historical and intergenerational trauma experienced by many First Nations individuals within this profession. Therefore, we are committed to ensuring priority access for those of First Nations heritage, acknowledging the importance of culturally sensitive approaches to mental health support. Sweat lodge ceremonies have been recognized for their therapeutic benefits, offering participants an opportunity for introspection, purification, and renewal. By incorporating these ceremonies into our programming, we aim to provide a unique and impactful experience that complements more conventional forms of mental health support.
The shared experience of participating in cultural teachings and ceremonies serve as a powerful tool for building connections and resilience within our communities.
