Ceremonies
At the House of Mica we hold regular ceremonies in addition to periodic special events. These include timeless traditions of purifying sweat lodges, peace generating fire ceremonies, and sacred dance. Each ceremony offers the individual a chance for reflection and growth, as well a harmonious connection with nature, fellow beings, and Spirit.
Sweat Lodges
Sweat Lodge Ceremonies conducted monthly. In the Sweat Lodge Ceremony we enter a small lodge made of saplings. Stones, which have been heated in a fire, are passed into a central pit in the lodge. Water and herbs are placed on the stones and a fragrant steam rises. Prayers are offered to the spirit of the four directions and each person has an opportunity to pray for healing for themselves, their family and the world. We emerge from the Sweat Lodge spiritually renewed.
SWEAT LODGE LOGISTICS: Please review
Arriving at the time we light the fire is appreciated and deepens your experience of the ceremony. Everyone should arrive no later than one hour after the scheduled time to light the fire. Please bring a modest bathing suit, two towels and something for a potluck meal after the ceremony. The day usually wraps up around 5-6 hours after the listed start time. It is important to give yourself time so you do not have to rush off. Donations of $15 to $25 are appreciated. More if you can, less if you can't. Ceremony is always open to all.

Fire Ceremony
On the 7th of each month at 7:00 pm a fire ceremony is conducted at the House of Mica Peace Chamber. In this ceremony a sacred fire is made by stacking ten pairs of small logs. Prayers for personal healing, healing of our families and world peace are offered before the fire is lit. As participants watch the fire burn, it becomes a teacher, revealing images, and generating the energy of purification. Participants “read” the messages of the fire and the embers and share the teachings with each other.
Sacred Dance
We hold several different sacred dances including an annual Sun-Moon Dance at mid-summer and a Long Dance is sometimes held in the Fall. In 2020, we are introducing a new dance called the Dance of the Cosmic Dreamer.
