This pre-Hispanic Shaman ritual was hands-down one of the most profound experiences of my life. Not only was Maria, our host, incredibly communicative, engaging and accommodating, but her talent for translating Huitzi's words truly made a difference in the experience.
As for Huitzi, his powerful facilitation of the ritual was just so... poetic. I cried multiple times inside the sweat lodge just because the insights I received hit me so hard. Maria, Huitzi, and their understudies, Julio and Sasha, made us feel very safe, and they emphasized that we were free to do this at our own pace and comfort level, and to leave anytime we needed to.
And of course, I made some wonderful friends at the ritual itself. We all shared our stories afterwards and grabbed lunch together. This doesn't always happen in my Airbnb experiences, but something about the Temazcal just makes it so natural. If you love spiritual experiences, this is DEFINITELY the activity for you. Book it now!
