Angélica Tonalkiahuitl is a Humanistic Psychologist with a Masters in Gestalt Therapy, as well as a practitioner of the aquatic practices Jansu (Japanese) and Aguahara. Purchasing the 8,800 square meter parcel of tropical dry forest in 2013, HRIBANIKA has evolved in tandem with the surrounding Nature into the community space we see now— a combination of terraced multi-use areas, sheltered and open-air, including a geodesic dome, palapa roofed hearth and kitchen, dry toilet, and an earthen Temazcal— applying Earthship Biotecture throughout.

Nahuatl for "Sky of Jade", HRIBANIKA’S Temazcal was seeded on the new moon December 2017, and is based on the Mexicayotl traditions that were inherited to Tonalkiahuit from the lineage of grandmothers of the Moon Dance Xochimeztli, with guidance from Grandmother Guadalupe Retiz Tonalmitl.

The Moon Dance Xochimeztli is a knowledge tradition and community of women which is found sited in page 39 of the Codex Borgia:
