Copal & Drum Ceremony with Maryzelle

Step into a sacred space of smoke, rhythm, and spirit.
We begin with copal, the sacred resin of Mesoamerica, whose fragrant smoke purifies the body, clears stagnant energy, and opens the heart for prayer. As the smoke rises, it carries our intentions to the unseen realms, creating a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds.
From this place of clarity, we’ll drop into a guided meditation to ground the body and soften the mind—opening ourselves to receive messages, visions, and healing from within. The breath becomes our anchor as we deepen into the present moment and prepare to journey.
Then, the pulse of the drum begins—the heartbeat of the Earth. Crafted with the skin of the mule, this sacred instrument invites us into trance and transformation. Through rhythm, we travel across inner landscapes, guided by ancestral wisdom and the medicine of sound. Each beat calls the spirit home, weaving together prayer, vibration, and renewal.
Come to cleanse, journey, and remember who you are through the ancient healing forces of copal and drum.
