We are excited to be able to offer your group some Additional Services

during your retreat at 
Ancient Springs Retreat Center. 

 

1. Ceremonial Offering with a Wixarika (Huichol) Medicine Person

Rutury Temay is a Mara’akame, or medicine person, from the Wixarika tribe in the Sierra Mountains in Mexico. People may be more familiar with the other name that is often used which is the Huichol tribe. He comes from a highly regarded lineage of medicine people who taught him the traditional ways from the time he was born, including his grandfather, father, and older sister. He joined his sister in Arizona as a teen and worked and lived with her for many years facilitating ceremonies, retreats, pilgrimages, individual healing, and spiritual guidance in the US and Mexico. He has been involved in numerous Native American gatherings and summits and has collaborated with tribal people from all over the world. 

​

Rutury can welcome your group with a Blessing to initiate your retreat, or share an evening fire circle to discuss topics relevant to your retreat offering his indigenous perspective, or customize a ceremony with you that you can arrange in advance.  

​

Rutury is fluent in English, Spanish, and of course the native language of his Wixarika people. He is dedicated to helping anyone in any culture who feels they would benefit from the methods that he has learned over many years of rigorous training. His lineage and commitment is to be of service to those in need and he has been asked by his Elders to make himself available for people to learn more about Wixarika ceremonies and culture from an authentic source. 

 

Rutury is co-founder of Indios Huichol, a non-profit organization that supports the Wixarika communities through hosting retreats and ceremonies at Ancient Springs Retreat Center. 

​

All of  Rutury's offerings must be arranged in advance and fees are determined by the service provided. If you are interested in considering one of Rutury’s offerings please contact anaya@ancientsprings.com for more information. 

 

2. Massage Therapy and Fitness

For some of you who have been to Ancient Springs before you have met Chef Shell and have experienced the amazing meals they have curated for our guests. Some fortunate folks have also experienced the transformative bodywork that Shell was able to offer at some of our retreats. The feedback from our guests was that these massage sessions were deeply impactful and added a great benefit along with the other processes people were experiencing at their retreats. Shell is now focusing on offering massage therapy and fitness training to all of our retreats at Ancient Springs. We highly encourage you as a facilitator to consider scheduling your retreat with the possibility of making some time available for bodywork for you and your participants.

​

60 minute Massage - $100


90 minute Massage - $150


60 minute Massage plus 60 minute Functional Workout - $200
