Mayan, Cosmic and Spiritual Ceremonies – Weddings, Elopements, and Vow Renewals

Ancient Mayan traditions live on – the Mayan language is still spoken today. The Rivera Maya is home to many shamans and spiritual people. The combination of the local culture and travelers interested in a spiritual and cultural experience birthed a plethora of beautiful “Mayan” ceremonies, for weddings, vow renewals and elopements. One of our favorite things about a  Mayan ceremony is that it includes EVERYONE. It’s an amazing experience guaranteed to strengthen your love bonds.
