PLEASE ADD YOUR NAME TO THE WAIT LIST IF WE ARE "SOLD OUT" AS WE WILL LIKELY BE ABLE TO RELEASE ADDITIONAL TICKETS.
This ancient ceremony has been passed on through countless generations because it works to align human beings with the sacred cycles.
The change in the Sun's direction holds a strong potential for awareness, receptivity and activation. On this night, a potent doorway opens for just a short window of time. This is the most auspicious time to receive guidance from these final, potent moments of lengthening Summer days before the shorter nights shift toward the return of darkness.
This authentic Nahua Ceremony, open to the public, helps us connect to powerful seasonal influences that promote balance and health in our lives. The ceremony helps us feel the dynamically moving and changing world. Humility, sacrifice and learning provide an opportunity for us to deepen our relationship with the living natural world.

WHAT IS IT LIKE? To give you an idea of the depth and opportunity to support your life by attending this Ceremony, we share some experiences from others.
“It was a very powerful evening of sharing and community. I was still buzzing the next day. Received a lot of insight and gifts.“
“I experienced connection with spirit.”
“My big takeaway was to see and experience sacred wisdom from the directions as catalysts for personal change. They reassure us that we are not all alone, that nature is a part of us. I hear that all the time and regularly spend time in the outdoors, but never before understood this untapped potential of nature to enrich our lives. That insight was invisible to me before last night.”
