Temazcal

The temazcal (sweat lodge) is a profound ancestral ritual of physical and mental purification. It combines the benefits of the steam bath with medicinal plants and a guided meditation in the actions of the four elements in our consciousness, facilitating the understanding and detachment of our problems and blockages.

It begins with a consecration with the smoke of incense, palo santo or copal. Then in a dark, warm, small and humid space, which represents the mother's womb, medicinal vapors, chanting and guided meditation take us through a holistic process of cleansing.

The feverish effects, the aroma of the plants, the flowery water and the ritualistic chants become medicine for the body, mind, heart and spirit.

It lasts just over an hour and is followed by a refreshing and restorative bath of energizing flowers and aromatic plants.
