Mayan Medicine Course (1st Level)

A journey from Rituals to Plants into the ancient practices of the Mayans and their rich Cosmology

Mayan Medicine is indeed a millenia-old traditional healing system which is not well known by the public and intentionally kept out of reflectors. It is still practiced in remote areas of Guatemala, Mexico and Belize by a few elders who struggle for transmitting such a great knowledge.

The unicity of this healing art is its profound Cosmology, unifying all aspects of the Universe and Humanity in a wholistic perspective.

Official Certifications are issued by the Centre and accredited with IXIIM International Mayan Medicine Institute.
