Amarre De Tilma - Wedding Ceremony

Service Description

At Teopahtcalli, we offer the sacred pre-Hispanic wedding ceremony known as “amarre de tilma.” This ancestral ceremony has its roots in the indigenous traditions of Mexico, where the “amarre de tilma” symbolizes the spiritual and physical union of two souls under the blessing of the gods. The “amarre de tilma” is a ceremony in which the couple is wrapped in a tilma, a traditional garment of the indigenous peoples, representing their commitment and eternal union. This practice holds deep cultural significance, as the tilma is a symbol of protection and connection with the earth and ancestors. At Teopahtcalli, this ceremony is officiated by Ehecayollotl, a Tonalpohque. A Tonalpohque is a spiritual guide and expert in the Tonalamatl, the sacred Aztec calendar, who interprets the signs and energies of the universe to guide people on their spiritual path. During the ceremony, elements such as the offering of flowers, copal, and cacao are included, along with other traditions that invoke the blessing of the elements and creator. Unlike contemporary Catholic weddings, which focus on specific religious rituals, the “amarre de tilma” emphasizes the connection with nature and ancestors, creating a deeply spiritual and personalized experience. We offer different packages for this ceremony, which vary depending on the elements and services you wish to include. For this service, it is necessary to schedule a prior consultation, where more details, options, and prices will be explained. At Teopahtcalli, we honor and celebrate our ancestral roots, offering a unique and meaningful experience for those seeking a sacred and authentic union. For more details, please book a consultation
