Temazcal Semilla is held as a space where the sweat lodge becomes a somatic tool for purification and emotional release. Each door, each element, is approached as a stage in an emotional process: grounding, giving thanks, forgiving, and letting go. These are not abstract ideas but experiences that unfold through heat, breath, and presence.

The elements act as forces that guide this process. Earth grounds and stabilizes. Water opens the emotional field. Fire intensifies and brings release. Wind expands and integrates. Together, they move participants through a cycle of release and rebalancing.

Honoring Life in All Its Sacred Forms

This Temazcal is a collective prayer for the dignity and sacredness of the human family in all its diversity, across gender, race, identity, and every expression of life.

Inside the lodge, we sing, pray, and sweat, honoring the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth while remembering Aho Mitakuye Oyasin, we are all related.

Together, we offer this ceremony as a prayer for unity, healing, and belonging for all our relations.

A ceremony is not just tradition — it is direct experience, catharsis, and real connection. A space where ritual meets the human, where vulnerability is welcomed and transformation is inevitable.

A safe yet intense container is created, where music, voice, silence, and collective intention build a powerful field. This is not just about entering the sweat lodge, but about moving through a process: releasing, remembering, and reconfiguring.

Designed for those seeking more than relaxation, this experience is for those ready to feel, to face, to open, and to be reborn.

A Temazcal is an ancient purification ceremony and key part of Mexican traditional medicine, representing the ‘Womb of the Earth,’ offering nurturing energy that connects us to ourselves and Mother Earth.

This ceremony is conducted using herbal steam, drumming, song, guided breath and deep introspection, with respect for native roots whilst bridging them to heal the modern heart and mind. Root of the Gods is a community project integrating ancestral earth wisdom into everyday life through ceremonies, retreats, courses, and a natural pharmacy. Together, we create places where we can ALL come together and remember.

The sweatlodge as a womb space, and an exploration of the Mother archetype beyond motherhood.

For all women - those who have given birth recently and those who did so long ago; those who have birthed babies and those who have brought other creations into the world; the mothers of mothers, those who support and accompany women throughout their lives  - to all women, to all beings who identify with this archetype and wish to be present.

A space to receive, rest, release, to bring the warmth back to the bones and to the soul, and to reconnect with the thread of care and continuity that lives within us all.

In these days of collective upheaval, we enter the sweatlodge to resignify the Mother archetype, stepping into it as a way of tending to our communities with presence and care.

From an early age, Kusiy Volt has accompanied her mother, renowned Chilean medicine woman María Valdivia, on the medicine path.

Thirty years ago, they entered the tradition of the Fuego Sagrado de Itzachilatlan together, with Kusiy accompanying her mother everywhere, including her first ceremonies. Despite her young age, she was deeply touched by the ancestral altars and sacred medicines.

She undertook her Vision Quests while still a minor, receiving the Sacred Pipe, and soon after began participating in the Sun and Star Dances.

In her youth, she traveled across Latin America, attending gatherings and deepening her path, including within the Santo Daime doctrine, to which she remains committed.

In 2013, she received the blessing to lead sweat lodges, and last year, Aurelio Tekpankalli, Chief of Chiefs within the lineage of Fuego Sagrado de Itzachilatlan, ordained her as a Spiritual Leader and Consecrated Woman.

Today, her life moves between Ibiza, where she supports her mother in her gatherings, and Costa Rica, where she has built her own altar and shares temazcal and ceremonies.
