Hey NAFPS,

Wondering if we could get some research on Heather Principe. She is non native supposedly trained Cree elder Don Cardinal in sweat lodge. She runs sweats at various retreats apparently. Here is a link: https://sivanandayogaranch.org/event/sweat-lodge-oct-2019/ appreciate any insight and help here!

Help heal the earth through awakening your connection with nature and ancient Native American wisdom.

My boldings in the program schedule. I was taught that such stuff came from the middle of the Indian Subcontinent. Now I realize it comes from the middle of Indian Country in North America. Amazing!

Sparks:
A couple of links to show that she does the "Native American Sweat Lodge" on a regular basis:

Five "Native American Sweat Lodge" retreats mentioned, all identical, two of them past events.

Thanks for taking the time to help here, Sparks. I dont understand why a yoga ashram has to do this kind of stuff. The photo really made me cringe..

fairbanks:
I was going through the links you put together Sparks and it looks like on her facebook she has a picture of Don Cardinal. Not sure if she took it or what the deal is... supposedly she was trained by him and given permission to run sweats.
