Indigenous Arts

Traditional Healing for Spirit, Belly, Womb and Earth

Tul’ix Indigenous Arts is an evolution of what was formerly known as the Arvigo® Institute. Learn more about this new chapter by clicking here.

We offer bodywork and spiritual healing trainings rooted in the traditions of the late Don Elijio Panti of Belize. We honor and recognize this living lineage as a seed-bearer, supporting each of us to connect to our Benevolent Ancestors and remember how to plant again.

Our values are rooted in compassionate decolonization. This model gives everyone, including the living and non-ordinary worlds, equal seats at a table while treating wounds according to need. It is our sincere belief that such a model is needed for our species to course-correct and remember how to care for all.

Tul’ix therapies include bodywork inspired by traditional sobada and supported with additional techniques, particularly for the back body, which address multiple structural, functional and psychoemotional presentations. Spiritual healing, utitilzing prayer, plants, the elements and the dreaming, is fundamental to this offering of bodywork.

Testimonials

"Putting the huge gratitude I have for this work into words is so difficult. I came to it during the intense experience of a miscarriage that took seven weeks to complete. After trying so many other modalities to release my baby's remains, it was the profoundly beautiful work of my therapist tending to mine and my baby's spirits through spiritual baths and prayers that allowed my body to finally let go and release. The spiritual healing is what carried me through the grief that followed, and also cleared the energy for the full term pregnancy I went on to have." - F.H.
