Temazcal, viaje introspectivo en la histórica selva nayarita
La casa de vapor, temazcal, es un espacio diseñado para que vivas diferentes niveles de una experiencia sanadora interior. Al mismo tiempo que realizas un viaje espiritual, recibes un baño de vapor medicinal con piedras volcánicas y thés suaves (manzanilla, lemongrass, hierbabuena, entre otros). Mientras se expulsan las toxinas, sientes las emociones del enraizamiento a la tierra y la vuelta a ti mismo.
Acordamos un punto de encuentro, ya sea en Sayulita o San Francisco para trasladarnos a la selva (5 ó 10 minutos aproximadamente). A tu llegada, disfrutarás de un thé mientras recibes la explicación detallada de lo que haremos, de los símbolos y ritos ancestrales y de su reinterpretación en el presente, para saber cómo hace sentido a tu propia vida. Participarás en un círculo de ofrendas y canto al fuego, donde se calientan las piedras volcánicas, para calmar la mente y abrir el corazón, usando copal y otras resinas naturales.
Luego de entrar al temazcal vivirás un viaje a través del vapor medicinal, el canto y la palabra en cuatro momentos; cada uno dedicado a los elementos: tierra, agua, viento y fuego. Al salir compartiremos fruta y aguas frescas para rehidratar el cuerpo. Dependiendo de los participantes, su emoción y su intención, el evento puede durar entre dos y tres horas.
