SIGN ME UP !!

Nothing like a sweaty group groupe session to cleanse the spirit.

[Doglover-7]

Why didn't they know to drink water and walk in and out every ten minutes?

....and having a 'permit' would have somehow made it safer?
Same thing woulda happened.

[Sweat lodges]

Used by North American Indian tribes & Whites etc

to cleanse the body and prepare for hunts, ceremonies and other events —

are a common practice.

Most are held in forests on private property and hold no more than a dozen people

white people sure know how to mess things up!! a sweat lodge is sacred to native americans and no one other then natives should be practicing this ceremony

BULLSEYE!! A "permit" is a "Permission" slip. which is paid to the local king, to do something on the Kings property. Because we own nothing in America. Nothing.

Saunas are safe and used in EVERY culture. Most people have enough sense to get out if they start feeling bad.

According to who?
I suppose eating tacos should only be done by Mexicans.

Why would "Deadly Sweat Lodge Permits" even be available?

Seems to me giving out that kind of permit would just be asking for trouble.

Sacred to some. Recreational therapy to others.
Both serve a purpose.

Not to even mention the fact that a heck of a lot of cultures from all around the globe have traditionally done variations of this.

I go to Korean saunas all the time. Some of those saunas are extremely hot. But I know to get up and stay hydrated. If you have certain conditions, you are supposed to know not to go in.

Well that is a completely differnt story. There are saunas in that area, too. I would suspect if they were simply doing a sauna thing, they might have used common sense and got water when they felt the need.

The article specifically said "sweat lodge". Similar to a sauna, but NOT a sauna. That means they were on some kind of religion kick. Probably were doing anything and everything that new age hippie leader was telling them, even if it was against their better judgment.

That was the big issue here. The one running it wasn't even a qualified Shaman or Medicine Man to have such a thing. It was a capitalist business preying upon the purile wanting a theme party. The theme was NA things that make them feel better.

If you ever get a chance to - try a Russian (or Ukranian) banya.

The real Russians tend to keep their hot rooms pretty dry, but they crank the heat up way beyond anyone else.

Really? Since I'm a hybrid and I don't believe people should be used. Especially as theme party material.

Oh wait you're the one on the soldiers threads cheering when a US soldier is killed and I balked at that. I get it now. That's why you're stalking me on these threads.
