What Is a Temazcal Sweatlodge?
A type of sweatlodge, a Temazcal is an ancient purification ceremony; for relieving stress, cleansing toxins from the body, releasing negativity and revitalising life force. It is especially beneficial for your immune system, balancing mind, body and spirit. of the natural elements help us to open and cleanse. As a key part of indigenous medicine, it has been used widely for thousands of years for the treatment & prevention of disease, stress, weight loss, depression, skin conditions, fibromyalgia & much more..
What Can You Expect?
Built directly on the earth, the sweat lodge is a covered dome structure that represents the ‘Womb of the Earth’ as its energy is distinctly nurturing, bringing us closer to our Panchamama. Large volcanic rocks are heated on an open fire outside and are then brought into the sweatlodge, placed inside a natural bowl in the centre & doused with water and herbs – creating hot, wet steam. The medicinal steam and the power of the natural elements help us to open and cleanse.
How Does A Family Sweatlodge Differ?
Sweatlodges have long been part of our community traditions around the world, preserved most in the form of Temazcal in Mexico. A community is not complete without all ages of beings, and so we welcome you to come with your families and especially young or older family members to this very special lodge. We will guide this ceremony suited to children and elders, where it will be more soft, spontaneous and playful – whilst still receiving all of the powerful benefits of a traditional sweatlodge.
