Before proceeding to enter the symbolic womb of mother earth, the Shamán will pass a ritual of burning Copal around your body. Once all are inside, the Hombre de Fuego (fire keeper) will place the volcanic stones in the centre of the Temazcal, while the Shamán sprinkles the stones with lovely aromatic herbs. After that the Shamán will be waiting to guide the group to align each guest with the 4 elements, earth, wind, fire and water, the ceremony proceeds to guide you to a spiritual rebirth through prayer, music and ancient chants.
