Where Ancestral Wisdom Meets Modern Travel: The Medicine Wheel Experience in Tulum
Hidden beneath the lush canopies of Tulum’s jungle, past the boutique hotels and barefoot luxury, lies something ancient. A whisper from the Earth. A circle carved not just into soil—but into memory. This is The Medicine Wheel. And it’s calling modern travelers home.
As Tulum continues to evolve as a mecca for conscious lifestyle seekers, there’s a growing desire among visitors for experiences that go beyond yoga classes and stylish smoothie bowls. Travelers want meaning. They want medicine. They want moments that root them back to something real. And that’s where The Medicine Wheel comes in—not just as a ceremony, but as an offering.

Meet Liz: The Visionary Behind The Medicine Wheel
At the heart of this sacred space is Liz, a woman deeply devoted to preserving and sharing ancestral traditions in a respectful, accessible way. Her journey began over a decade ago, walking alongside elders and ceremonial leaders throughout Mexico and Latin America, learning not through books—but through being, through listening, through living the teachings.
“I felt a deep calling to create a space that honored these traditions with integrity, and offered a bridge for others to reconnect to the Earth, to spirit, and to themselves,” Liz shares. “The Medicine Wheel came as a vision, a reminder that we don’t have to go far to remember who we are—we just have to sit in circle.”
The Offering: Ancient Ceremony for the Modern Soul
The Medicine Wheel is an offering rooted in indigenous cosmology and elemental wisdom. It invites guests into a multi-dimensional experience where traditional tools—copal, feathers, drumming, fire, cacao—are used not for show, but as sacred instruments for healing and remembrance.
Each direction of the wheel represents an aspect of the human experience: the mind, the body, the soul, the heart, the spirit above, the grounding below, and the truth within. Whether you come for a private session, a group ceremony, or a full retreat immersion, the journey is curated with reverence and authenticity.
“Liz emphasizes. - This isn’t about adopting a new belief system,” “It’s about remembering the ancient intelligence that already lives inside of you.””

A Conscious Experience for Tulum’s Spiritual Travelers
For those seeking more than just a beautiful beach and a pretty Instagram moment, The Medicine Wheel offers a path inward. It’s ideal for guests who want to deepen their vacation with purpose—who crave spiritual nourishment alongside their mezcal margarita.
“And the best part? You don’t need any prior knowledge or spiritual practice. Just a willingness to be present. “The jungle holds you. The elements guide you. We’re simply here to support your remembering,” ”
For Hotels & Hospitality: Awakening the Guest Journey
Recognizing the evolving landscape of travel and hospitality, The Medicine Wheel partners with hotels and retreat spaces seeking to infuse their offerings with spiritual depth and cultural consciousness. Whether it's a moonlit cacao ritual for guests or a temazcal ceremony woven into a retreat itinerary, Liz and her team offer guidance and facilitation that helps awaken the sacred within even the most modern hospitality setting.
From designing custom ceremonies, ancestral welcome rituals, cacao circles, fire offerings, or integration spaces post-temazcal or breathwork—Liz and her team serve as spiritual partners for properties ready to deepen their impact.
“Travel can be transformative when it’s intentional,” says Liz. “Our work with hotels is about creating sacred touch points that elevate not just the guest experience—but the guest awareness.
This offering is perfect for eco-resorts, boutique hotels, or luxury spaces looking to align their brand with regenerative values, cultural respect, and holistic wellness.
Come. Sit in the circle. Let the fire speak. Let the Earth remember you. Let The Medicine Wheel guide you home.
For those ready to dive deeper, The Medicine Wheel extends far beyond ceremony alone. The sanctuary also offers sacred remedies—traditional herbal medicines and botanical tinctures rooted in ancestral plant wisdom. These natural allies are crafted to support emotional balance, energetic clarity, and physical healing, allowing guests to continue their journey even after the last ember of the fire ceremony fades.
The Medicine Wheel also embraces a holistic healing philosophy, integrating therapies such as Janzu, a profound aquatic journey that invites surrender and deep nervous system reset, and Biomagnetism, which uses magnetic fields to realign the body’s bioelectric balance. These therapies, alongside ice baths, sound healing, and massage, create a full-spectrum approach to wellbeing rooted in earth-based spirituality and somatic restoration.
From ancestral weddings and conscious birthdays to corporate activations and seasonal gatherings, The Medicine Wheel curates unforgettable moments that stir the soul and elevate the collective. Their community events—including equinox celebrations, new moon ceremonies, and healing circles—are open to all, creating space for connection, remembrance, and renewal.
Sacred Simplicity in a Fast-Paced World
In a time where “spiritual” can sometimes mean spectacle, The Medicine Wheel is a return to simplicity. To Earth. To ceremony. It’s the real thing—and it’s here, quietly transforming lives in the heart of the jungle.
So whether you're a curious traveler seeking ancestral connection, or a hotelier looking to evolve your guest journey beyond the expected—this is your invitation.
