The Portals of Practice

More than 50+ holistic & health activities every week

We have the largest collection of healers, spiritual guides and teachers in all of the Yucatan peninsula—some 35 practitioners in all who live their life everyday in order to share their gifts. These Architects of Life have been sourced from around the world, and all are meticulously vetted to ensure they bring deep experience and training in healing, guiding, and teaching to each and every guest. 

Rooted in their abilities, learnings and mastery passed down through generations, our practitioners share their experiences with you in structured classes or one-on-one sessions to help you evolve mentally, physically and spiritually. We think of each of these interactions as touch points, or connections, like stars in a constellation. With each practitioner you interact with, you’re forming deeply personal bonds and developing a network of people who can have an impact on your life — sometimes profoundly so. 

So if you want a gentle yoga class each morning with one of our teachers who help to wake your body up, we have that. Or if you want to go deeper with a healer or spiritual guide and partake in ancient rituals like a Temazcal or Family Constellations session, we have that too. No matter how much you want to participate and to whatever degree, we’re here to engage, teach, guide, and share. This is how Palmaïa meets you where you are.
