Most circles held will have instructions on what to bring with you (if anything is necessary) but it is also recommended to bring an offering of tobacco for the circle facilitator and fire keepers. Most importantly, come with a sober mind and open heart. Please abstain from any substance usage before attending.

All Nations means that regardless of your cultural background, whether you are Indigenous or non-Indigenous, you are welcome to attend CSL events and programming. The healing we offer will always be accessible to community members.

A bundle is a collection of sacred items that an Indigenous person may carry. Bundles are sacred and each item within them carries significant meaning to an individual. Because bundles are sacred, do not touch or photograph a bundle without permission.

A feast bundle is made up of a plate or bowl, cutlery, a cup, and often a bag to carry these items in. Generally, these are brought when you are attending meals, after a sweat ceremony or joining into community events that involve food.

For all information around sweat lodge ceremony and what to bring, feel free to download our PDF detailing the event.

Some wheelchairs may be able to navigate the land site's terrain but due to the uneven ground at the sites, not all chairs will be able to. Should you wish to inquire about an accessible ceremony or meeting with one of our staff, feel free to reach out via email and we would be happy to work on accommodating your needs.
