Maria, my wife, has been constructing and planning for a sweat lodge on some nearby forest service land.  She was going to do one sweat alone, for her own cleansing and spiritual growth and one with several other people.  There have been several “road blocks” or problems, particularly regarding the individual lodge, the last problem being today with leaking, newly purchased water jugs.  Paying attention to the series of problems regarding the individual lodge, we finally realized today that the lodge is meant to be of service to the community, not purely for individual use.  That realization feels right to each of us.
