TULUM, Mexico (May 25, 2006) - Spiritual healers yearning to deepen their understanding of the universe and participate in the rituals of ancient indigenous cultures need look no further than the sky above Tulum during EcoTulum's week-long celebration of the moon, featuring tribal dancing, jam sessions, ritual ceremonies and a variety of holistic demonstrations and classes.
From Sept. 30 to Oct. 8, 2006 soul seekers and those interested in the power of healing are invited to extol the magic and beauty of the moon through a program of daily activities, which begins with an opening cosmic ceremony led by shaman Maria Galindo, and closes with a spectacular beachside fete replete with bongo music, fire dancing, and performance art. Attendees will also have the chance to learn from special guests, the Huichol Indians, indigenous healers and eco-philosophers who have long relied on the wonders of nature to sustain their fascinating culture.
"This is a total-immersion opportunity for healers to experience and learn holistic therapies while honoring the moon, a central force in ancient spiritual teachings," says program organizer and spa manager Lucrecia Bloomquist, "Our daily programs are designed to connect the participant with the universe and feed the soul the same purity and knowledge found in indigenous cultural traditions."
A typical day begins with morning yoga and meditation sessions, followed by a dazzling and healthy breakfast buffet of ripe tropical fruits, crunchy homemade granola, organic eggs with chaya, corn tortillas, fresh fruit juices and robust coffee or tea. After a short digestive break, guests will opt for a therapeutic massage or take part in a roundtable discussion with a local shaman, covering topics as diverse as auras, crystal therapies, herbology, Mayan astrology and energy cleansing. There is no cost for attending seminars but individual healing sessions will carry additional prices depending on the therapy.
At dusk, Aztec dancing and a ceremonial farewell to the sun set the stage for a two-hour ritualistic journey into the Temazcal, an ancient Mayan steam bath that purifies the body and mind with the use of hot steam generated by herb-infused water poured over fire-heated lava rocks. Newly cleansed when they reemerge, guests are led down to the beach at dusk where the celebration continues with a final toast and colorful extravaganza in honor of the full moon.
