Mountain Reconnection

Learn about medicine plants, enjoy beautiful nature, visit an ancient sacred site and experience a “Temazcal”, an indigenous steam bath.

This is a wonderful opportunity to disconnect from our busy life and reconnect with our true self.

It’s an exciting introduction into the world of traditional healing.
