• Ectagono- Ectarea - The temazcal, a traditional sweat lodge utilized by various ancient cultures in Mexico like the Mexicas, Mayas, Zapotecas, Mixtecas and other indigenous groups, is typically constructed as a hut or dome made from mud, stone, wood, or branches covered with fabrics, depending on the region. Inside this structure, hot rocks are placed at the center to generate heat, and water infused with medicinal plants is poured over them to create steam that has therapeutic properties and is used for both physical and spiritual well-being. The temazcal serves as a space for purification of the body and mind, connection with nature, and honoring ancestral traditions. Revered as sacred by many indigenous communities, this practice is still use in various parts of Mexico as part of healing rituals. Huitzi, is our main shaman, originally from a small town in Oaxaca. Since moving to Mexico City a few years back, he founded Aldea Tonatzin, a place dedicated to preserving the authentic traditions of the Zapoteca culture. Presently, along with María, his friend and apprentice, they run the traditional Zapoteca temazcal with the goal of sharing the Zapoteca heritage worldwide.
