Everything has a vibrational frequency, including ourselves. It makes sense that sound frequencies impact how we feel.  Sound healing - an ancient healing technique using tonal frequencies that bring the body into a state of vibrational balance and harmony. 

On our first evening, we will experience an outdoor Mayan sound bowl therapy session. This is a therapeutic sound journey with ancestral instruments.  The basic principle of sound healing is the concept of resonance. This will lift your spirit, activate your mind and transition your state of being to relaxation and officially welcome you to this 7-day retreat. 

On our last evening, we will dive back in with a closing sound bowl ceremony to reinforce our reawakened sense of well-being.  

The suites are all steps away from the beach, pool and rooftop shared studio space.  This retreat has accommodations to suit everyone's budget. Choose from the beachfront, rooftop, courtyard and economy suites. Copal offers either private or double occupancy suites/rates. Each suite has a private entrance, private bathroom, WIFI, AC & fans.

Once inside, hot volcanic rocks are placed in the center and water is poured over the rocks to produce steam. Herbs, typically sage or copal are added to aid the cleansing process.  While every ritual is different, ceremonies can last around two hours which might include a shaman-led series of thanksgiving or chanting.
