Overnight Sweat Lodge Kwauhtlinxan Kwauhtlinxan
It is an honor beyond words to extend this heartfelt invitation to a truly extraordinary event. We are privileged to host an Overnight Sweat Lodge with the esteemed teacher Tonawaka, a rare opportunity that fills us with deep reverence.
This sacred ceremony offers a profound journey of purification for both body and spirit, allowing us to connect with the energies of the night and the day in a way that is truly transformative. Guided by ancient traditions, we will immerse ourselves in the elements, surrendering to the rhythms of the earth and the wisdom of the directions.
As we embark on this ritual of rebirth and vision, we invite you to join us in purifying ourselves to receive the first rays of sunlight, to experience a profound rebirthing accompanied by the gentle sounds of birdsong. In the silent embrace of darkness, we will feel the vastness of the sun's energy spreading across the earth, opening our hearts to welcome the light of a new day.
Your presence at this sacred gathering would be a true blessing as we come together to honor this rare opportunity and deepen our connection to the essence of life itself.
With utmost respect and anticipation,

A Ceremonial Journey. Each talk within our event is not merely a discussion but a sacred ceremony.
We will open the space with Sacred Rituals to give tribute to the four cardinal directions and the elements that sustain our existence. As we express gratitude for the uniqueness of our lives and the blessings of each day, we invite you to join us in this transformative journey of self-discovery.
Who is Tonawaka Kwauhtlinxan?
Tonawaka Kwauhtlinxan is a revered Traditional Mexhika medicine man and a Guardian of Ancient Knowledge. Born into one of the Mexica dynastic families known as "Kaxtias," he is a direct descendant of the Aztecs entrusted with preserving the scriptures and wisdom of Ancient Mexico since 1521, by the decree of Kuauhtemok, also known as Cuauhtemoc, the last Tlatoani in Mexican history.
As a Tekuhtli, or "He who guides and councils people," Tonawaka provides invaluable advice for decision-making and leads various ancestral ceremonies and Aztec festivities. He embodies the role of a Temaxtianitl, applying the traditional knowledge system passed down through generations, encompassing medicine, healing, warrior and sacred dances, the calendar system, agriculture, world vision, cosmovision, and systems of governance and commerce.
Additionally, as a Teotepixke, Tonawaka selects and guides the energy for ancestral ceremonies, ensuring they align with auspicious moments such as solstices, equinoxes, full moons, 20-day cycles, Temazcal rituals, and other special ceremonies like "sowing name," Aztec weddings, birthdays, mortuary rites, and special cycles.
Since 1992, Tonawaka has practiced traditional healing throughout Mexico and supervised various Aztec tradition learning groups. He has lectured at national and international educational institutions, appeared on TV and radio programs for the Mexican Department of Education, and participated in interviews for Natgeo, Discovery Channel, and History Channel. Moreover, he has contributed to international shamanism congresses on traditional medicine in France, England, Germany, and Romania.
