December 13-22, 2012

Letter of Invitation from the Minister of Tourism, Yucatan

Itinerary

Day 1 - Dec. 13: Departure from U.S., currently planned from Houston, arriving into the Yucatan on the same day. (From other places in the U.S., or internationally, please inquire.) Transfer to your hotel near the ceremonial center of Chichen-Itza.

Day 2 - Dec. 14: Today and tomorrow are for two days of siteseeing of Mayan ancient power places before the main conference speaking events begin on Dec. 16.

Welcome, orientations, and introductions.

Afternoon tour of the highlights of Chichen-Itza. Experience the famous and sacred Mayan city of Chichen-Itza, covering an approximate 60-mile area with impressive ancient temples and buildings. In particular, see the “El Castillo” Pyramid, whose architecture is full of symbolism. Inside the pyramid is a temple even more ancient than the pyramid itself.

Day 3 - Dec. 15: Full day tour to more ancient sacred Mayan sites. Drive to Coba, stopping at Tulum on the way. Tulum is located in a magnificent setting high on bluffs overlooking the sparkling blue turquoise Caribbean Sea. While there, experience the unique symbol of the upside down winged god with bee-like features. Why is this figure upside down and what significance is the resemblance to a bee? This is just one of many mysteries that will be experienced during this spiritual journey.

Experience mystical Coba with it’s tallest pyramid in the Yucatan at over 126 feet.  The pyramids and buildings are situated on the shores of several lakes and the architecture is unique.  Numerous ancient roads led into this huge Mayan city center, one of them over 62 miles long, the longest in the Mayan world. Climbing the 120 stairs to the top of the Nohoc Mul Grand Pyramid at Coba is well worth the effort. From the top, you can see over the jungle canopy for miles, with an unobstructed view of the temple mounds peeking above the trees. (Arrival for those doing main conference only is today.)

Day 4 - Dec. 16: (Welcome, orientation and introduction for main conference only participants.) Main conference and events start today. Meeting and presentations all day with a break at mid-day. Reconvene in the afternoon.

Day 5 - Morning tour of the highlights of Chichen-Itza. (Those who arrived Dec. 13 will have their 2nd visit to see different sites and temples within the gigantic complex of Chichen-Itza.) There is so much to see and experience! Meetings and presentations this afternoon.

Day 6 - Dec. 18: Meetings all day.

Day 7 - Dec. 19: Morning session for round table discussion and sharing, followed by a session with some of the presenters. Siteseeing this afternoon to more Mayan power places, including Ek Balam.

Your Facilitators*:

Join Gregg Braden on this once-in-a-5,125 year experience as he shares the ancient discoveries of fractal time and the key to life-affirming shifts that we can make in our personal lives, as well as collectively in our families, communities, and between nations. This program is a rare opportunity to find new meaning, and new hope, for the positive new world that is emerging before our eyes! Through a powerful synthesis of easy-to-understand science and the wisdom traditions of the past, this multi-media program explores the triggers underlying the unprecedented cycles of global, and personal, change in our lives today.

Gregg Braden is a New York Times best-selling author, a former Senior Computer Systems Designer for Martin Marietta Aerospace, computer geologist for Phillips Petroleum, and the first Technical Operations Manager for Cisco Systems. For over 20 years he has searched the remote monasteries of Egypt, Peru, and Tibet for the life-giving secrets that were encoded in the language of our most cherished traditions. His work has led to such pioneering books as The God Code, The Divine Matrix, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief, Fractal Time, and his newest, Deep Truth. Gregg's work is published in 17 languages and 30 countries and shows beyond any reasonable doubt that the key to our future lies in the wisdom of our past.

For many years Hunbatz Men has been devoted to revive the wisdom and culture of the ancient Mayas. He is an authentic Maya, born in Wenkal, Yucatan, Mexico, and was raised to be a shaman, a holy man, since the age of one. He is a respected ceremonial leader as well as a Mayan Daykeeper- an authority on History, Chronology, Calendars and Cosmic Knowledge in Mayan civilization. He has authored several books, including: The Eight Calendars of the Maya: The Pleiadian Cycle and the Key to Destiny, Secrets of Mayan Science/Religion, and other books putting the Mayan cosmology and philosophy in a twentieth century perspective. He is founder of all the Mayan Mysteries Schools of the world and has started reconsecrating the sacred sites of the Mayan culture throughout Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Belize.

His native language is Maya Itza, a language that is mantric, onomatopoeic and reversible, i.e., the intonation of each word invokes the sacred aspect of life it describes, each word sounds like what it describes and each word can be reversed resulting in another word that deepens one's understanding of the original word.

Hunbatz Men has widely lectured throughout North and South America and Europe. His lectures include topics like: Mayan mathematics, astrology, and philosophy; the letters “T”, “O”, and “G”: as the origin of humanity; Mayan sexual education, social organization, and ceremonial centers; Kundalini Maya; sacred symbols of Tamuanchan; the 1992 Sun Walk from Alaska to Mexico City; new commercial ventures that will be available to Native Americans and other minorities in the United States; and the importance of communicating the Native American thought and its dissemination throughout the world.

When Hunbatz presents a lecture he carefully ties a hand woven band around his head, and he asks permission from the Creator to help him understand everything, especially the high knowledge and our connection with the Earth, Time spent with Hunbatz Men is a unique blend of sacred and experiential ceremony liberally sprinkled with Mayan chants, prophecies, cosmic and solar wisdom, and language lessons.

Jim Berenholtz is a multifaceted artist who has been training and collaborating with native cultures in their living Earth wisdom for nearly 40 years. Whether as musician or dancer, writer or speaker, painter or ceremonialist, he is devoted to bringing forth the organic intelligence that is natural to our human species. His passionate blend of arts and activism celebrates unity in diversity while building bridges for peace.

At the Maya 2012 Gathering Jim will speak on using art, music, dance, and ceremony as ways to make our personal contributions to planetary transformation. He will also guide participants through experiential processes that open them to their own unique creative role in the collective shift.

Jim is the author of the “Teachings of the Feathered Serpent” trilogy which includes “Journey to the Four Directions”, “Eye of the Dragonfly”, and “Shedding Skins - A Snake Odyssey”. In 1987 he was International Coordinator for the Sacred Sites Festival associated with Harmonic Convergence. Since 1989, beginning at the Mayan temples of Palenque, he has been performing transformational snakeskin ceremonies at sacred sites worldwide, and has completed 55 ceremonies thus far. His work with the sacred serpent energy has also manifested through dance performances with live pythons and boa constrictors. In 2003 Jim produced the Hollywood extravangaza “Temple of the Cosmic Serpent” with his dance troupe Serpentium. This production drew a great deal of its material and inspiration from the ancient Maya. Through dance Jim also celebrates and honors the Hindu god Shiva as the one who destroys the old forms that no longer serve us in order to make way for the New Creation. In that sense Shiva is very aligned with the potentiality present in the cosmic alignment of December 21, 2012.

As a musician, Jim is co-founder of the musical duo Xochimoki, a leading force for nearly three decades in the revival of the ancient music of the Aztec, Maya, and other Mesoamerican civilizations. As a composer of music for theatre, dance, film, audio recordings and the concert stage, Jim’s specialty is weaving together the classical and contemporary musical styles of the Western World with the indigenous sounds of ancient and native cultures. His choral work “EKEL CHACIL” (Black Rain) is sung entirely in ancient Maya, and was commissioned and performed by the Global Harmony Chorus in 2008. It delves into the ancient cosmovision of the Maya civilization by setting revelatory and ritual texts from their books of creation and prophecy. It was specifically composed with 2012 in mind.

Jim is a frequent performer and lecturer at the de Young Museum of Art in his hometown of San Francisco. In November, 2009 he was their Artist in Residence with a multi-arts installation entitled “Temple of the New Sun”. It featured his vibrant paintings and mandalas inspired by the ancient Egyptians, Maya and Toltec, as well as a photographic journey focused on the ancient pyramid cultures of our planet. Last year Jim did a series of presentations at the de Young in connection with their monumental Olmec exhibition. Among his presentations was a lecture on “Jaguar Shamanism in the Americas”.

Jim looks forward to a dynamic group experience for December 2012 in the Yucatan, where everybody contributes to the manifestation of the new paradigms being awakened.

D.M. Murdock, also known as "Acharya S," is an independent scholar of comparative religion and mythology. As an undergraduate, Murdock studied Classics, Greek Civilization, at Franklin & Marshall College, in Pennsylvania, USA. She also did post-graduate study with the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Greece. Murdock has spent the past several decades studying both formally and informally: mythology, religion, history, languages, archaeology, archaeoastronomy and other disciplines relating to the fields of religious history dating back thousands of years. In addition to English, she can read, speak and/or write French, Spanish, German, Italian, ancient and modern Greek, Latin, Portuguese and a smattering of other languages such as Sanskrit, Hebrew, Egyptian, etc. Murdock frequently does research in ancient languages such as Greek, Latin, Hebrew and Sanskrit, as needed for biblical studies and early Christian history.

Murdock/Acharya is the author of several books and many articles on the subjects of comparative religion and mythology, including The Christ Conspiracy, Suns of God, Who Was Jesus?, Christ in Egypt and others. Her work has been published both online and in print in a variety of media. She has also helped create several videos, including a two-hour interview of her speaking about related subjects. Murdock has appeared in a number of documentaries, including "God in the Box," which has been featured at several film festivals. She has also appeared on numerous radio programs, including the Alan Cohen show.

At the gathering in December 2012, D.M. Murdock will be presenting a talk entitled, "2012: A New Beginning." As a specialist in comparative religion and mythology, especially as concerns its nature-worshiping or astrotheological roots, Murdock will discuss the striking parallels between Christian and Mexican religion and mythology, demonstrating a unifying thread that underlies much of human culture. Here is the encouraging and good news for the coming age determined by Mesoamerican astronomy and calendric science: We are one human family whose cultural divisions are largely based on observations of our natural surroundings, rather than actual disparities. Our diverse global cultures emanate largely from the same root, with similar basic religious and mythological archetypes. Thus, instead of loathing our differences, we can celebrate our cultural uniqueness as part of the overall human experience.

Rob Speight has been dowsing for almost 15 years since he first fashioned two metal coat hangers into L rods and walked around his garden. After being amazed at his early discoveries he became an avid reader on the subject and member of the British Society of Dowsers.

Rob focused his dowsing skills on earth energies and ancient sites, a fascination he developed after reading Robert Bauval's 'The Orion Mystery'. Rob was lucky enough to accompany Robert, Graham Hancock, John Anthony West, Robert Temple and John Grigsby on the 'Stars and Signs' Tour to Egypt in 1996 and from then on he was hooked!

As well as working as a professional dowser (amongst other things!), Rob will be releasing his first book, Dowsing Sacred Sites in the summer of 2012.

At the conference, Rob will be speaking on dowsing at sacred sites and offering practical demonstrations on dowsing. He will show how sacred sites harness the energy of the landscape and the earth to create a sense of the spiritual, something that our ancient forefathers were well aware of and physically in tune with. He will give a brief summary on the history of dowsing, some practical hands on dowsing basics, details of what you might expect to find at a sacred site.

Marzulli received an honorary doctorate from Pacific International University for his work on the Nephilim Trilogy. Marzulli is also the author of the non-fiction work, Politics, Prophecy & the Supernatural. The book packs a hard hitting expose of how the current political landscape may bring about ancient Biblical prophecies, which then may trigger supernatural events that are foretold in the book of Daniel and Revelation.

Marzulli teamed up with film producer Richard Shaw to create the Watchers series. Their first offering Watchers 1: UFOs are Real, Burgeoning and Not Going Away, is in it's fifth printing, while Watchers 2: Signs in the Heavens and Earth, may be the only DVD that offers a Biblical answer to the off the charts weather activity that we are experiencing. With all the tornados, earthquakes of 7.0 and greater, flooding, riots and the rise of lawlessness, it's not business as usual! Recently Shaw and Marzulli completed Watchers 3: Fingerprints of the Supernatural, which covers the two sun phenomena, The Arab Spring, The Shroud of Turin, and the Torah Codes.

Marzulli's latest book, The Cosmic Chess Match, was released in the fall of 2011. The book covers the ongoing cosmic battle that has been waged in an unseen dimension for millennia and according to Marzulli is about to spill over into our dimension soon.

Marzulli has lectured on this fascinating subject presenting his exhaustive research at conferences and churches as well as appearances and interviews on numerous national radio and television programs.

Marzulli will be presenting on the possible connection between information that is found in the ancient book of Enoch and the legendary Quetzelcoatl. He will explore the similarities, that may in fact, connect these two seemingly dissimilar entities that appeared on earth thousands of years apart.

Kristen Vasques

Kristen has spent a lifetime studying spirituality and metaphysics. Her life has been one of unusual experiences, encounters and constant "coincidences" or synchronicities that have added to her studies. They have deepened her understanding of life at its core levels. She had a near-death experience as a child which instilled the sense of knowing that there are many more levels of existence than the physical one we see. So she began her lifelong quest as a child, reading any spiritual and metaphysical books she could find, starting in the mid '60s. In the mid '70s she studied the research and findings of the profound clairvoyant Rudolf Steiner. Her two-year formal studies of Steiner were greatly enhanced by having a professor, Werner Glas, who also had a profound level of clairvoyance. His classes were amazing and incredibly enlightening, revealing deep secrets about life, the universe and human destiny.

In addition to writing, Kristen is an artist who has worked in sculpture, painting as well as weaving while in college. She found rich natural fibers that she hand-dyed and developed here own method of weaving to form pictorial tapestries. Music is also a part of who she is. Kristen’s instruments include a lovely Celtic harp, an antique zither harp, two Native American flutes and an alto recorder flute.

Kristen's book, Exploring Sacred Space: A Vast Quest, reveals details of the Transition (or Ascension) that haven’t been given before. The information is both very interesting and informative. It provides a richly detailed explanation of why this point in time is so significant as well as giving a clear scenario of what will be happening — soon. It will equip you to know what is coming and, perhaps more importantly, how to prepare.

Time on this planet goes in cycles of 25,920 years. Interestingly, this is exactly what scientists have reported. They have stated that it happens to be the length of time it takes for our planet to cycle through the signs of the zodiac. Roughly every 13,000 years, at either end of this great wheel of ages shown in the book, a major earth change occurs. It's a normal and regular event that has taken place regularly, throughout the eons. At these times in the past most of humanity has passed on, and those remaining have had to start over from a much more primitive level. This time around, however this Transition will be different.

Our point in time is like none of the others that have gone before, throughout history. There is a graphic in the book of a Time Wheel that explains the cycle of Transitions that have happened regularly throughout time. The Time Wheel was drawn up initially by ancient Hindu and Tibetan wise men (clairvoyants), and given to Kristen by her clairvoyant professor. This time the Transition will truly be a transformation. It will involve a multi-dimensional shift.

"Exploring Sacred Space: A Vast Quest" was written to share this information as well as much more. The book reveals details that people need to know at this pivotal moment in history. Many other disclosures are also given, including some of the deepest Egyptian mysteries, what they knew about extraterrestrial visitors and how these “space brothers” will be involved in helping humanity through this immense Transition.

Kristen's meetings with Dan Fry in the late '70s are also described in detail. Dan Fry was a contactee starting in the '50s. Kristen spent several weekends with Dan and Florence Fry at their 1970s home in Tonapah, Arizona. She and Dan had the most fascinating, eye-opening conversations about the startling facts that the aliens had told him. Some of these conversations are also detailed in the book. The list of respected people who've had encounters continues to grow.
