Inipi: Purification Ceremony

The Inipi, known as the sweat lodge, is a sacred space where a profoundly meaningful purification ceremony takes place. This ancient practice, originating from Native American cultures, focuses on cleansing the body, mind, and spirit through heat and steam.

Characteristics of the Inipi

• Construction: The Inipi is made of natural materials such as wood and stone, creating a cozy and protected environment.

• Heat and Steam: Hot stones are used, placed in the center of the structure, to generate steam and heat, symbolizing purification and renewal.

• Ritual: During the ceremony, prayers, chants, and meditations are performed, guided by an experienced facilitator, to connect with spirituality and nature.
