Join us in a collective prayer in the Mayan tradition of creating a Sacred Fire to give gratitude, request healing, and make offerings for our Mother Earth.
This is the day in the Mayan Calendar of Waqxaqui Ajpu, a day to call in our joy and creativity as we connect with the positive potential of the human species in its full flowering.
From the heart of creation at Rootstock, we are praying for the weaving of community, collaboration and revillaging. We are living into what's possible and asking questions:
How do we come together, work together, pray together?
What is necessary to harmonize ourselves through conflict and repair?
How do we stay resilient?
How do we uplift one another's missions and meanings and raise the tide together?
What does it mean to be both, Sovereign and United?
The Mayan Fire Ceremony is a way used by trained Mayan Aj Q'ij (daykeepers/ spiritual leaders) of creating a vortex of energy that can be used as a portal into the Spirit world, where we can receive healings and offer prayers. The Mayan fire ceremonies use limited wood. With prayers, a mandala is created out of dried herbs, candles, and other natural materials, as well as incenses.
Those who attend the ceremony are encouraged to bring offerings such as medicine plants and incenses (sage, cedar, sweetgrass, tobacco, resins, etc.), flowers, candles, honey, cornmeal or other natural items you feel called to bring to offer to this special Fire Ceremony. All offerings are an important part of this special Ceremony we will create together.
The Mayan Aj Q'ij uses their knowledge of the matrix of life to coordinate their prayers and offerings to work with the energies present in that moment in time. They are trained to read the fire and gain wisdom for healing and answers to prayers. The more offerings that can be given for the fire brings more blessings for ourselves, our families, the earth, and all our relations.
Suggested loving donation: $25 and up to support travel, cover ceremonial materials and other expenses we incur.
Before the ceremony will be a potluck, please bring a prepared dish to share so we can nourish our bodies and prepare for our experience, together.
