UP COMING EVENTS
We invite you to our introduction to a Burial Ceremony, a unique and profound experience unlike any other. Across time, space, and culture, there exist ceremonies that beckon us into a deep self-reflective engagement with the reality of our mortality as sentient beings. Among them is the ritual observed by the Mexican people.
Tetzkamiktlali, which translates to "Connect to your dreams and the obsidian mirror. Connect to your dreams and cacao," encapsulates the essence of our gathering. We believe that each of us is not only a dreamer but also a creator. Through this event, we aim to explore the profound connection between our dreams, our reality, and our role as creators.
Nawal were men believed to have magical powers.
The word Nawal means The power that I create/generate
A Nawal is a person that creates/generates his own reality, someone that is responsible for himself. It has nothing to do with this mythical magical person that shapeshifts into an animal. It is someone that creates his own reality and that but doing so it makes other people see that reality that he is creating. A Nawal is the one that possesses the knowledge of himself and creates his reality.
Discover the art of invoking the energy and powers of the Elements. Delve into the unique characteristics of each element, learn how to connect with them, and harness their energy. Explore how to channel this power and integrate it into your daily life, projects, and work.
Please join us for an engaging discussion about the Wixarika Culture and its cosmovision
It is our joy and honour to have Marakame (Medicine man) Eusebio and Eugenio (musician
and community leader) with us to share their knowledge and the wisdom from their culture.
This is an opportunity to learn about the culture, traditions and art of the Wirrarika people.
Through the oral history passed down from generation to generation, about the origin of creation, the ceremonies and sacred relation to Mother Earth and the elements.
Eugenio and Eusebio come from a very powerful and deeply connected ancient indigenous lineage. Deeply connected to Grandfather fire, the Nature Spirits, the Cosmos and Mother.
The origins of the wirrárikos is uncertain. Some investigators agree that they maintained a life that was independent from the big pre-Hispanic empires; nevertheless the wirrarikas say that their origin is in Teakata's sacred place, where fire was first born - or the grandfather fire like they called him - and that later the guacamaya was born, followed by the boa, the rainbow, the Sun, the rain and the earth, and later on they were born.
Nowadays - in spite of the devastating models of development, they represent one of the indigenous cultures that has managed to keep his thousand-year-old knowledge most alive.
The art of treatment by means of using sacred plants, energy and songs.
Its cosmovisión is full of myths, gods and legends represented by coloured figures woven into their gowns and represented in their crafts. In addition, this cosmovisión is strongly embodied in energy during the practices of these diverse ceremonies that take place almost throughout the whole year.
