Mayan Cosmovision

The Mayan Cosmovision represents the world view in which our connection with nature is explained through the wisdom of the sacred Mayan calendar and the cycles of the day count. This richly unique Mayan system reveals great mysteries to those who are aligned and willing to do the work.

Our intention in opening this portal is to honor a promise to the Mayan elders while providing a modern pathway that guides one towards the wisdom of the Heart. Integral to our focus is gratitude, awareness of the natural kingdom and reverence for all that resides beyond the veil.

“They came together and held council in the darkness and in the night, then they searched and discussed, and here they reflected and thought. In this way their decisions came out in clear light.”
— Popol Vuh
