About Program

Mayan Medicine is indeed a millenia-old traditional healing system which is not well known by the public and intenionally kept out of reflectors. It is still practiced in remote areas of Guatemala, Mexico and Belize by a few elders who struggle for transmitting such a great knowledge.
The unicity of this healing art is its profound Cosmology, unifying all aspects of the Universe and Humanity in a wholistic perspective.
Official Certifications are issued by the Centre and accredited with IXIIM International Mayan Medicine Institute.
Facilities: meditation space, a botanical sacred garden, a lab for processing plants, classroom, garden paths.

The most complete course in Herbalism

Feb 4, 2019

I am very excited to review the Internship in Herbal Medicine, as it has been a special moment of growth for me, both personally and academically.
The teachers are extremely professional, bright and helpful. I have been inspired by their work and ideas. Alquimia is the perfect hub for learning and development. It is a quiet, spiritual place sorrounded by nature and wonderful gardens.
The whole practice gave me a variety of tools and techniques to work with.
My favourite part is the laboratory work, soapmaking and cacao processing. I particularly enjoyed the morning meditation and the forest trips in the afternoon, to be able to forage plants, collect and process them the same day..beautiful.
I appreciate the ability of the teachers to hold such a diverse knowledge on ancestral and natural medicine..biology, physiology, chemistry, antrophology, cosmology and so on.
I said, this the most complete course I have found until now. Intensive, fullfilling.
Thank you very much.
Very, very suggested!

spiritual and personal growth

Apr 1, 2015

I enrolled the course 3 months ago and I think it's one of the best move in my life. After travelling around I had the feeling to be lost and restless. Alquimia has been my home, my shelter, my school and my space for finding again harmony and balance. It's not just a course, it's an inspiration.
Through the ancient Maya wisdom I learnt how to approach plants from a different point of view and now I want to apply this new relationship on my self-healing.
I spent days in the forest collecting plants with locals and I send all my appreciation to my teacher/guide/shaman.
I will love to come back one day.
Thanks

MINDFUL PROJECT, WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE

Apr 1, 2015

I have been studying for 2 months at Alquimia, extending my staying and enjoying a one week retreat in the forest to close my personal path of knowledge.
The variety of information and the precious wisdom and support offered have been a guidance for me. I will always have memories of the whole experience.
The nature around is simply outstanding and I felt the great benefit of living a simple life with delicious food and meditation.
The locals are friendly and I particularly enjoyed the community living.
Fantastic course and life changing experience.
