The Temazcal, also known as Inipi, is a sacred sweat lodge ceremony rooted in ancestral traditions. Inside this round, earth-built structure, volcanic stones heated in a sacred fire are placed at the center and infused with water and medicinal herbs, creating purifying steam that envelops the body.

Symbolizing both our mother’s womb and the universe, the Temazcal is a powerful ritual of cleansing, rebirth, and transformation. Through heat, intention, and guided prayers, participants are invited to release what no longer serves them, heal the body, clear the mind, and reconnect with the spirit.

Cacao has been revered since pre-Hispanic times by the Maya and other Mesoamerican cultures as a sacred plant.

This plant spirit supports the body and mind with its detoxifying, antioxidant-rich, and mood-enhancing properties, gently uplifting the nervous system while opening the heart. In a guided and respectful setting, cacao invites participants into a deeper state of presence, enhancing voice activation, inner clarity, and connection to self and community.

Our cacao experiences are infused with intention, music, stillness, and movement, held in the peaceful surroundings of the Mayan jungle, making it a deeply nourishing part of any retreat or personal journey.

For thousands of years, indigenous cultures around the world have worked with master plants to support healing, purification, and expanded awareness. At Casa Arkaana, we honor these ancient traditions with deep reverence, having been blessed to learn directly from elders and wisdom keepers along our path.

We are committed to cultivating a safe, respectful, and integral space for those who feel the call to explore their own consciousness through these plant allies. Our role is to protect the integrity of the experience, offer support before and after, and uphold the values of humility, care, and sacred reciprocity.

Our Mayan Clay Ritual is a deeply grounding and skin-purifying experience rooted in the wisdom of the Earth. Sourced from the mineral-rich soils of the region, Mayan clay carries powerful detoxifying and healing properties. Applied directly to the skin, it draws out impurities and invites participants to reconnect with the Earth element through stillness and presence.

This ritual is both a physical and energetic cleanse, encouraging release, reflection, and regeneration through the body’s largest organ—the skin.

The Sacred Fire Circle at Casa Arkaana is a space of remembrance, reflection, and release. Gathering around the fire is one of the most ancient ways to pray, connect, and transmute. It invites us to sit in stillness, listen deeply, and awaken ancestral memory through the presence of flame and silence.

This experience supports personal and collective transformation by offering a moment to release what no longer serves, set new intentions, and reconnect with inner wisdom. Whether in silence, song, or shared prayer, the fire becomes a teacher, reminding us of the light within and the cycles we carry.
