On April 24th, 2021 Big Sister Tiffany and I were on a sister trip to Taos for a yoga retreat at The Blue Sky Retreat. I’m not one to believe in Native American Mysticism, but damn it’s real and powerful—and actually terrifyingAF. We were there to do yoga which is awesome. I’ve been a yogi since being, being home birthed in LA County in 1976. I’m a real live valley girl. Nevertheless, we jumped at this experience to sit in on a Lakota Sioux Sweat Lodge Ceremony. It’s a life and death cycle that took place over a three hour period of intense heat. Profound and holy, and hot as I imagine hell to be.
