Very simple, but remarkable, spiritual experience. We had the benefit of an outstanding guide who gave us a detailed description of the metaphysics and spiritual nature of the ceremony. He escorted us throughout the experience and took video and photos for us.

This is an amazing experience and a privilege to be allowed to take part in the purification ceremony. Our guide was excellent and went through the process step by step and explained the symbolism behind everything we did. We felt as a couple we needed the purification ceremony for different reasons, and to say it didn’t disappoint is an understatement! We’ve both come away feeling renewed and fulfilled.
