Attire:
Modest, non-revealing clothing is required:
Men: Baggy swimsuit or shorts.
Women: Long cotton dress or a T-shirt with shorts.
Please bring a towel. (And don't panic!)
Heat Sensitivity:
If the lodge becomes too intense, you are welcome to step out and continue your prayers by the fire or in the Kiva. Re-entry is always welcome.
Potluck Meal:
After the ceremony, we’ll share a community meal. Please bring a dish to share (meat is okay).
Looking Ahead:
We will discuss the possibility of hosting a Zoom meeting for continued sharing and connection. Wednesdays at 7:30 PM (following the 4–6 PM meditation group and meal) currently work well for Kris and me. This time and date will be finalized during the event.

Please email [email protected] to confirm attendance.
Looking forward to connecting in ceremony and spirit,
Jeffrey Many Hats
