The Temazcal ritual holds significant importance in Mexico's pre-Hispanic culture. Embark on this profound transformative journey. Throughout history, diverse ancient mexican cultures have used the temazcal as a sacred setting for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Inside this space, ceremonies take place, honoring warriors pre and post-battle, supporting women during childbirth, and harmonizing individuals with the four natural elements.
While each culture performs the ritual uniquely, all temazcales symbolize Mother Earth's womb. Stepping into a temazcal mirrors returning to mother earth womb, and exiting, signifies a rebirth.
In the heart of Mexico City, Huitzi, original from the Sierra de Oaxaca, heeded the call to share this cherished ritual from his upbringing. Raised in the jungle, he learned the Zapoteca tradition in his youth and mastered it . His purpose is to bring the Zapoteca culture to everyone in need of healing. he realized that his gifts and culture neede to be shared with the workd and in order for him to do that he neede to leave his beloved home in the jungle of Oaxaca.
After an extensive quest, he discovered the ideal site for his temazcal at the Ectágono, right in the heart of CDMX, where he cultivated a medicinal garden to complement his ceremonies. Huitzi mentored María, she as born and raised in Mexico City, who bridges ancient traditions with contemporary healing methods. María assists in blending temazcal with modern practices.
Together, Huitzi and María lead this extraordinary experience, offering a sanctuary for those seeking healing to reconnect with their heritage and restore equilibrium. Moreover, they translate the ritual from Spanish to English, spreading Zapoteca wisdom to a wider audience. Embrace this opportunity to transform your life through the profound essence of the temazcal!
