Instructor: Ricardo Yohualoceloth & Cesar Mata Course Fee: $800 MXN Course Dates: Aug 09, 2019 Course Time: Friday, 11:30 -4:00 pm aprox. Course Location: Tlatonal Community (Nearby Ixtlahuacan) Min/Max Students required: 10/17 Enrollment begins Jul 03 from 10:00 to 2:00 pm at the LCS Office Enrollment ends Aug 05 Description: According to Ricardo Navarro, leader of the community Tlatonal, the temazcal is an alternative for purification in different ways. In the past, people were born, prepared and healed in a temazcal. At present, this ritual has different contexts. Usually, it is a way of entering into introspection, different from psychiatry and psychology. Besides entering the psyche, it makes people touch their skin, touch their interior and express their thoughts in a single excursion, that is, they unite body, mind and spirit to transmute some physical circumstance or discomfort, or to transmute some psychological circumstance that is spinning in your head. And why does it transmute it? Because steam, heat and isolation cause you to enter a different way of thinking and act accordingly when you go back to the outside world. It is an encounter with Mother Earth. The temazcal is a ritual of Pre-Hispanic Mexico that consists of a steam "bath" with aromatic herbs and songs. The price includes round trip transportation. It is necessary that to participate men wear only shorts or swimsuit and women a long skirt and a blouse (all natural fibers). In the Tlatonal Community there will be a place to change clothes. At the end of the ritual, we will be served tea and fruits.

Since them team members have been meeting with our events team and planning the Funky Ball. On June 7 the kids are hosting a carnival from 4-7 with a Funky Ball (so you can dance our cleats off) from 5-9, featuring music from the local teenage sensations The Waynes. Please come and support this cross cultural event, wear your favorite football jersey and play carnival games and dance the afternoon away.
