Activities
Every month Sharon organises the ceremony of Inipi at the Center
(Sweat lodge)
The inipi is an ancient Lakota purification ceremony. One enters the womb of Mother Earth in order to be reborn. This ceremony is a means of direct communication with the Spirits. Sharon Evans has been following the Red Road (the Lakota spiritual path) for 13 years.
Sharon returns to the United States every year to participate in the Sun Dance and continue her apprenticeship on this Path.
Times: 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. approx.
40€ for the day - 70€ for couples
Half of the money collected for each lodge is sent to the Sundance Chiefs of Cassadaga, New York in order to allow them to continue their spiritual activities.
Reservations required: 06 81 13 77 11 / gite.vent.autan.najac@gmail.com
