Copal
An Offering to the Gods

The original name for Copal is derived from the Aztec word "copalli", meaning incense. Copal is made from the resin extracted from the Bursera Bipinnata tree, and in the past, it was used by ancient Mexican Shamans to induce spiritual trances and establish communication with the divine world.
It is said that the scent-filled smoke which emanates from this resin, was used as a remedy to alleviate headaches and illnesses caused by cold or damp environments.

The Offering of Copal

The Aztecs buried Copal as a symbolic gift to Tláloc, the god of rain and fertility, while the burning of this resin was essential to the rituals of worshiping their deities. It was through the use of Copal that the ancient people of Mexico ensured a connection between themselves and their gods, strengthening the link of communication and purification.

TEMASCAL

The word Temascal originates from the Aztec, “calli”, meaning house, and “temas”, meaning vapor or steam. The structure, made from mortar and stone is symbolic of Mother Nature´s womb. Through the use of steam and healing herbs, the temascal ceremony aids in the purification of both the body and the spirit. The stones, from which the Temascal is built, represent generations of grandmothers who embody the knowledge of the earth. They invite us to reflect on the past, as experiencing the Temascal ritual is an opportunity to free ourselves from that which we no longer need in our lives and allows us to live wholly in the present.

The natural elements brought together in the temascal are:
* Water- symbolizing blood, fluids, and emotions
* Earth- the body and physical matter represented by the Temascal itself
* Aromatic steam as our life´s energy and breath
* Fire- the embodiment of the spirit through hot volcanic stone

We invite you to participate in this therapeutic, relaxing and mystical journey.

We recommend that you:
* wear a sarong or bathing suit free of zippers, metal clasps or buttons
