If you enjoy aligning with the energies of the Sacred Calendar of the Maya, the Tzolkin (Cholqij in Quiché Maya), you will also enjoy learning directly from Mayan elders in Guatemala. This is what I did about five years ago, and it has led me into some interesting terrain, both literally and figuratively.
In 2006 I met Don Alejandro Cirilo Perez Oxlaj, Grand Elder of the living Maya, and Grandmother Elizabeth Araujo in Chennai, India to help film the meeting between them and Sri Bhagavan. I asked the Mayan Elders what is the best way to learn about their calendar. They said the best, and in fact the only way from the standpoint of their tradition, was to be physically with the elders and learn the deep nature of the day signs and how they relate to one’s birth energies. I asked if we could bring some people to Guatemala in small groups for this learning. On a bumpy taxi ride from Chennai to Golden City, Grandmother Elizabeth and I planned out how we might do these pilgrimages, and the Journey to the Sacred Land of the Maya was born.
Over the last five years I have had the privilege of bringing over 200 people to the sacred land of the Maya in small groups of 10 to 20. We explore the indigenous beauty and wisdom of the Mayan people. Mayan elders lead guests through the unique tapestry of Guatemalan civilization, past and present. They experience Guatemala’s unmatched natural beauty, receive healing experiences grounded in the indigenous Maya spiritual practices, and learn about the Sacred Calendar in a way that only the Mayan elders can teach. In short, our journeys change lives.
Our next sacred adventure is March 31 through April 12th 2011. In this journey we will be bringing forth women elders in the Maya tradition, led by Grandmother Elizabeth. Together we will learn, heal, grow and be awed by an ancient wisdom that lives in us today. You can learn more by requesting our full color brochure.
