In this ancient ceremony in the Nahua tradition, we call on the deep, alive creative force behind the flow of Time and Change to help us let go of what no longer serves us and open to receive the benefits from what is coming. In this precious moment, a doorway opens, and, with the help of these ancient rites, our human longings and requests can be heard by the living world that both created us and supports us throughout our lives.

The ceremonies and life-ways of this lineage, based in the Central Highlands of Mexico, are now brought forward throughout the lands by initiated traditional weather workers who help us honor and renew our relationship with the natural cycles in these lands where we live.

Hosted by Sacred Fire Asheville, this gathering takes place around a consecrated fire in the Sacred Fire Council House. It is led by quiatlzques weather worker and tepahtiani healer Erin Everett, one of the Asheville weather workers in the living, unbroken tradition of Don Lucio Campos Elizalde of Morelos, Mexico.

This ceremony is one embodiment of a prophecy that the Nahua ceremonies will be brought forward to re-enliven human beings and our communities, renewing our relationship with Cycles, Weather, Healing and Sacred Time.

Engaging the sacred fire in the presence of others is one of humanity’s oldest traditions, where people from all walks of life, religions, and traditions are welcome. This traditional ceremony has been passed on through countless generations because it works to align human beings with the sacred cycles.
