Yaneli & Oscar Meztli - Tamescal (Sweat Lodge)

Yaneli Meztli is a soulful singer, dancer, and keeper of Mexican traditions. For the past 15 years, she has dedicated herself to learning and leading Native Mexican ceremonies, including Aztec dance, drumming circles, and Temazcal (sweatlodge). Her soothing yet powerful songs create a warm atmosphere at each ceremony, accompanied by the beat of the drum.The fire at these ceremonies is tended by Oscar Tekpatl, who has also been deeply involved in these traditions for many years. Together, Yaneli and Oscar form a duo called Xiuh. They co-create medicine music, featuring both original tracks and traditional Mexica ceremonial music, sharing vibrations of peace and harmony in a powerful and rooted manner.

A Mexican Temazcal sweat lodge is a sacred and ancient tradition that offers a profound and transformative healing experience. In a rustic dome that symbolizes the womb of Mother Earth, participants gather to purify their bodies and souls through a ritualistic combination of intense heat, aromatic and medicinal herbs, drumming, and spiritual chants. The rising steam from the volcanic rocks carries the medicine of the four elements: earth, wind, water, and fire. These will purify our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. The Temazcal represents a spiritual journey, a holistic healing process, and a deeply rooted cultural heritage.
