Muskoday

Elder Suzy Bear

Water, chair, towel, change of clothes for after, feast dish and cutlery.

This is an invitation to participate in a sweat lodge ceremony held by Elder Suzy Bear. For those of you who have never been in a sweat before, there are four rounds, meaning more heated rocks are added before each round. Suzy is very gentle and will open the door after the round is done.  There’s no judgment. It’s a personal journey between you and the Creator and the sweat lodge is the tool for connection. Suzy is very relaxed, she will provide teachings during each round, but you can ask questions before and between rounds.  You can as individuals bring tobacco and cloth if you would like to ask for something.  Some of the things people ask for when they attend are healing for themselves or loved ones, guidance, clarity, etc.

Elder Suzy Bear’s – Muskoday First Nation. Take highway #3 south-east (towards Birch Hills/Melfort)  When you see the old Muskoday convenience store on the North side of the highway, there is a right hand turning land, take that and turn right (opposite side from the store).  Drive about 4km on the grid road until you see a sign that says MJ Bear, turn right there and as soon as you turn right, turn left.  When you come around the corner, you will see Suzy’s house.  It is yellow and bi-level.  If you get lost, you can text Theresa at 306-960-2006.
