Re: James earl ray - sweat lodge - gone wrong :( prayers please
[QUOTE=lindabaker;176515]I have always heard that charging for a sweat ceremony is against Native tradition.
Yes, I have heard the same thing. In fact, I did a sweat headed by a Native American in Japan....he taught the same thing. Donations are cool and welcome (not necessarily cash either), but charging is not.
IMO exploiting ritual is just plane wrong, and I would never participate if I was required to pay, because it is done with the wrong spirit and intention in mind.
