“The Mayan world follows an organic path

based on the Natural Order, respect

for Mother Nature and cosmic and earthly influences”

 

The Fire Ceremony is one of the basic and most important practices that we can still find among the resurgent Maya today. It is usually performed under the open sky in special places or in places that become sacred thanks to it.

 

The Mayan sacred fire is one of the most powerful medicines known in this tradition. You can give it your illnesses, ask for support and leave in it everything that is no longer needed in your life. Being near the fire changes us, directing our thoughts towards peace, happiness, mutual respect and understanding. This ceremony unites races and languages ​​and reminds us of the existence of the powerful forces of nature.

 

The artists will invoke Jaguar Medicine in this Ceremony - a powerful force that will awaken Power, Prudence, Courage and Higher Consciousness in us. In the Mayan tradition, the Jaguar is also the protector of Women and Men of medicine - Healers and Shamans. An important element of this Ceremony will be a dance, during which we will ask for a blessing and give thanks to the four cosmic directions, the four guardians of the cardinal points. Through this communal dance, song and music, we will experience the most important parts of ourselves - the heart, breath, life force, power, so that we can be reborn in the new energy.
