THE CLOSURE AND BEGINNING OF A NEW SUN

A CALL FROM THE MAYA COUNCIL OF THE NEW SUN

Formed at the 11th Linguistic and Cultural Gathering of the Maya Nation, held in Machaca, Punta Gorda, Belize, The Maya Council of the New Sun sends out this call.

Before the closure and the beginning of a New Sun, on December 22, 2012, according to the mathematical astronomical calculations elaborated by our ancestors, The Maya Council of the New Sun, invites all people, children, young people, adults who live by the ocean, in the countryside, and in the cities, and the wise Ajq’ij – Daykeepers – of distinct specialties according to the sacred calendar.

THE OBJECTIVE


The objective of this call is to synchronize in 40 ceremonies, all our concentration and energy to fortify life, peace and spiritual union with the Mother Earth and the Cosmos, to be spiritually and energetically united in the “Celebration of an End of a cycle which will close on the 21st of December of 2012, and the Beginning of a New Era” on the 22nd of December 2012.

THE SPIRIT

This invitation is made with a profound respect for all the cultures and ways of looking at the world. We recognize that we are all part of an evolution toward a collective knowing, a new rebirth of the consciousness and superior wisdom.

THE MEANING

This is a very special moment in the history of humanity. This is the moment in that everyone, government, civil society, and each human being in particular, are called to unite in one voice, and only one direction. If you cannot come to the place of these ceremonies, you can do ceremony at any close ceremonial center to you, or you can do this in your home. In these ceremonies, each participant must bring their offerings, and food and drink to share.

The ceremonies are held every 20 days.

A MESSAGE ABOUT THE JOURNEYS TO MAYA LAND 2011 - 2012

Greetings!

I have been considering something wonderful for travelers who wish to delve deep into the Maya. We are now in the time of a series of 40 ceremonies being done by the Council of the New Sun. All of this preceeds the big ceremony happening on Dec. 21, 2012.

In conjunction with these ceremonies, there is a great opportunity to meet with some of the living treasures of the Maya, the spiritual guides. The next journey is for the Winter Solstice, and this will be in el Quiche, Guatemala. The ceremony will be on Dec. 21, 2011, held in a village. The departure date is Dec. 18.

For those of you who would like to spend two weeks, we can travel to special archeological sites, and have quality time with the elders for ongoing teachings. If you are in need of a break, this would be a good way to reconnect and recharge. The cost of the two week journey is $3100.

The next big ceremony will be Spring Equinox, 2012, leaving March 18. I would like to offer a 3 week journey, a Grand Round of the Maya world. You would have the opportunity to experience many facets of Maya life, meet the elders and recieve teachings, meditate in the pyramids, see monkeys, beautiful wildlife, and feel the ancestors. If you would like to have a once in a lifetime experience, and want to travel 3 weeks, you will get to see some of the major archeological sites, which are planetary power spots, in Guatemala and Belize. You will experience the magic of a living culture and the majesty of Mother Nature. For information, please contact me.

All of the journeys are a minimum of 10 days long. However, taking the climate into consideration, Winter and Spring are the best times to travel south. This is the reason I have decided to offer extended travel at these times.

Again I send the invitation to you on behalf of the Maya Council of the New Sun to join us!

In lak’etch,
Camila

On the Maya Trail 2011-2012
Journeys with The Maya Seed Ark Project

Greetings!
Events are gathering energy as we near 2012, and in this Light, I will be guiding and teaching in depth on the Maya. Interested in the Maya, but don’t know how to connect??

Well here is your chance! An enticing variety of cultural experiences await you, from beginner to scholar. The land of the Maya is extensive, covering mainly 4 countries, with many archeological sites of importance. The main ones are where the pyramids are situated. These places are planetary power spots.

Journey with me to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Belize, to the major Maya sites. We will spend time with Maya elders, and have wonderful cultural exchange. Experience the majesty of the great Peten jungle with fantastic biodiversity. Listen to the elders at the pyramids.

We will hear stories of the Maya, and journey to special spots. It is said that when you place yourself in these energy fields, you become harmonized and balanced within the emergent planetary changes.

The journeys will be in specific geographical regions, the Yucatan, Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras, and Belize. Focus will be on Maya culture, Maya spirituality, the Maya Calendar, Maya medicine, Indigenous food and agriculture, and sustainability.

These journeys will offer you an unforgettable feast of experiences, such as swimming in the sacred wells, exploring sacred caves, roam ancient archeological sites, visit beautiful museums, snorkel the Caribbean, dive with sharks and manta rays, learn medicinal plants and foods and meditate at the pyramids. Just to say a few…The length of the journeys are one or two weeks.

Journeys are departing monthly through the summer and autumn. Please let me know when you would like to join us and what area of Maya land you are interested in, as well as other Maya interests! Itineraries available upon request.

You are invited to see something exceptional. AND a word about Mexico. The areas that are in the news are far removed from the areas where we will travel.

Perhaps you have always wanted to travel in these parts, but were hesitant for whatever reason, now is your chance to travel in good company, safely with a guide who knows the road, speaks fluent Spanish, knows Maya culture, takes you to good food and accommodation, and enjoy some truly exquisite places.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. Hope to see you soon!

In la’ketch (Maya for I am another yourself),
