Seasonal ceremonies at Sandy-Saulteaux Spiritual Centre are a time to be on the land, to honour and give thanks for all of creation, to have some quiet reflective time around the fire and to renew and refresh our mind, body and spirit in the sweat lodge.
The ceremonies include a sweat lodge, followed by a potluck feast. Read more about what to expect at our seasonal ceremonies.
