I attended a sweat lodge ceremony yesterday at kihcihkaw aski (Sacred Land) here in Edmonton near Fort Edmonton Park. One thought that continues to surface for me is what I call “A different way to pray.” Instead of asking for answers, I think prayer can be understood as entering the ceremony, stepping intentionally into a process of reflection before making important life decisions. Ceremony creates the space to listen, to become present, and to align our actions with our deepest values.
