Although much was lost in the terrible years of
inquisition and colonization, there is a strength and
endurance of the people that is coupled with the
artful beauty of the traditional handcrafts and
clothing, which carry so many massages of their
powerful culture and colour their lives and
gradually the rest of the world with their vibrancy
and mystery.
The indigenous Mexican cultures are some of the greatest leaders on the planet today because
of the way that their warrior spirits have stayed with what they know to be sacred.

With so much buzz around the date of December 21, 2012, we really set the intention to give
our group an accurate understanding of what the Mayan Calendar is, and what the special
moment of changeover meant to the Mayan people.
To them and to us, 2012 marked a
year of transformation and
celebration, an important time for
rebirth, reflection, and renewal as
one grand cosmic cycle was
completed and another began.
December 21 2012 marked the winter solstice and, in the Maya Long Count, represented the
completion of the great cycle of the 13th B’ak’tun, a period of 5125 years, or the 13th period of
darkness on the planet.
This moment that is still unfolding is a time of reflection and great celebration as a new
age develops in the consciousness of our Mother Earth as she moves into a period of
coming into true integrity, and in humanity.
As our own consciousness evolves and we wake up to
the truer potential of who we are and what our reality
can be, as we learn to connect with our hearts with
our beautiful mother planet, and learn to not damage
and strip her barren, but love and preserve her, have
her as our teacher and live within her rhythm of life.
