MAYAN CEREMONY | SUNRISE/SUNSET ISLAND GREETING

Amanacer/Atardecer saludar la Isla - Punta Sur (can also be done @Selina)

Isla Mujeres is an island of great energy and significance. A way to show your respect and gratitude is by greeting the island and thanking Ixchel, the goddess mother of the island. Punta Sur embraces the energy of the Earth Mother Ixchel and the Mayan feminine culture.

The ceremony begins at sunrise or sunset with the lifting of the hearts and receiving the heart of the earth. Guided by a shaman, you will greet the 4 winds and express gratitude. You will greet the heart of Isla Mujeres and receive her blessing. This is a wonderful way to begin your time on the island before commencing your holiday activities, to say thank you for the time that you will spend here.

This experience is guided by sensations of sight, touch, smell, and sound. You will hear the caracol greeting, feel the rhythm of the tambors and traditional silbatos, and smell the cleansing of the copal.
