Welcome to the new dawn.

It is an honor beyond words to extend this heartfelt invitation to a truly extraordinary event.

Join us for an Overnight Sweat Lodge Ceremony, a rare and transformative experience guided by our Temazcalero, Rafasemilla. Rafasemilla is deeply in tune with overnight rituals and spiritual work at night, offering profound support for those seeking to integrate their shadow, transmute from darkness to light, and embrace a new level of consciousness.

This sacred ceremony provides a unique journey of purification for both body and spirit, allowing us to connect with the energies of night and day in a truly transformative way. Guided by ancient traditions, we will immerse ourselves in the elements, surrendering to the rhythms of the earth and the wisdom of the directions.

The overnight ceremony is a special opportunity to embrace our darkness, work through it, and step into the light—literally. The ritual concludes with the first rays of the sun and the gentle sounds of birdsong, symbolizing a profound rebirthing and the opening of our souls to a new dawn.

As we embark on this ritual of rebirth and vision, we invite you to purify yourself and receive the first rays of sunlight, experiencing the vastness of the sun's energy spreading across the earth. In the silent embrace of darkness, we will open our hearts to welcome the light of a new day, aligning ourselves with the natural world and its profound cycles.

Come and join us in this extraordinary ceremony, allowing nature to guide us on our path and help us find deeper alignment and transformation.

Your presence at this sacred gathering would be a true blessing as we come together to honor this rare opportunity and deepen our connection to the essence of life itself.

With utmost respect and anticipation,
