During the ritual, the shaman directs, using sounds and vibrations from pre-Hispanic musical instruments to awaken consciousness and connect individuals with their inner being, while fresh bundles of plants, some sourced from our sensory garden, are utilized. The temazcal is not merely a steam bath but also a space for healing and transformation, unfolding as the shaman channels energy towards the participants. The aim is to assist in releasing tensions and restoring physical as well as emotional well-being.

This traditional Mayan healing practice reignites a bond with nature and guides you through a journey into the "womb" of the earth. It all begins in the Sensory Garden where healing plants are selected for the ritual. Next, inside an indigenous stone structure, a steam bath is produced by a fusion of herbal infused water and volcanic rocks, the detoxifying process is enriched with the application of an indigenous scrub to the skin.

The journey continues with a traditional water rinse to balance the body´s temperature and culminates with a restoring massage provided with warm herbal poultices.

An herbal balm is then applied in focused areas for a full restorative and grounding experience.

Named after the Mayan word for life “Kuxtal”, this unique experience pays homage to the ancient beliefs of the Mayan Shamans who recognized their direct connection with all living forms. The journey begins with a sensorial awakening ritual where a fusion of aromas, sounds & taste blend with the beauty of nature to awake each one of the five senses.

Inside the garden guests are encouraged to embrace the cycle of life and discover their spontaneous connection with one of the plants to use its healing significance to design a customized journey centered on the four levels of wellness: physical, emotional, spiritual or mindfulness. Reliant on the guest intuitive choice, the journey may be focused on physical healing work, meditation experiences or energetic balance sessions.
