Haramara Retreat Center

The Temazcal or Sweatlodge Ceremony is a very ancient purification ceremony that has been used in many cultures, mostly in the Native American and Mexican cultures, for various purposes such as healing, praying, preparing for battles or for long ceremonies. It symbolizes the cycle of death and rebirth, the shedding of old skin, the embracing of our shadow and light and the experience of being One with Great Spirit – the Whole.

The Temazcal is a sacred space, a medicine for humanity and a place for sharing, giving and receiving in a balanced way. The Ceremony is a journey that cannot be described completely; you have to experience it for yourself. It is a journey, with many colors and sensations, which is sometimes challenging and sometimes beautiful as we learn to go deeper and flow with the energies of the Elements.

Haramara serves delicious gourmet meal tastefully prepared and artistically presented by some of the finest chefs in México. All ingredients are fresh, natural, local and organic. Our daily set menus are carefully chosen by our Mexican head chef and are based on the ingredients that are available that day in the local fish and farmers markets.

For a taste of Mexico, head into the traditional Mexican town of Sayulita and spend the day browsing the shops and strolling around while taking in all the sights and sounds of this beachside surf and vacation enclave.

Sayulita is a shopper’s paradise. Dozens of boutiques and roadside stalls have been set up all over the town, where artisans, craftspeople, seamstresses, woodcarvers, painters, etc are kept busy supplying the tourist demand.

Surfing has been one of the major attractions of Sayulita since the first surfers came to town around the early 70’s.

Sayulita should be on every surfer’s to-do list, whether you are a beginner looking to try wave-riding through your first surf lesson, a skilled surfer hoping to get barreled at one of Sayulita’s legendary spots, or a pro hoping to test your tube-riding skills and airs while riding one of the world’s most perfect waves.
