Mayan New Year celebration. Waxaq'ib B'at'z Sacred Mayan Ceremony.

Image
The beginning of a cycle is a very powerful time. Being aware of the purposes we have for the new cycle, is not only an important tool when it comes to make those purposes a tangible reality, but also a great opportunity to ground ourselves and clearly focus our direction towards any goals we are looking to achieve. There are many cycles that start and end all the time, some smaller, some bigger, and yet all of them deserving of being acknowledged. For the aboriginal peoples of the world, all of the cycles are sacred, and thus, creating space in our busy contemporary lives is a way to connect with what's important and ultimately feeds and nourishes us at a holistic level. For the Waxaqi'b Q'ojoom Mayan Elders Council in Toronto, honouring cycles is an expression of our conscious awareness to the elemental forces of the Universe and life itself; that is the reason why we create safe spaces for community members to connect with each other and share a vision of the Cosmos tha...

Waxaq'ib B'atz' Ceremonia de Inicio de Ciclo según el calendario Sagrado Cholq'ij

Image
Nuevamente nos encontramos cerca del inicio de un nuevo ciclo de tiempo en el sagrado calendario lunar maya Cholq'ij. Este Miércoles 6 de Diciembre del 2017 estaremos celebrando uno de los eventos más importantes de este calendario, el Waxaq'ib B'atz, que es cuando se incia la nueva cuenta del código 20/13. Puesto que este calendario consta de 260 días, la fecha en que se celebra el Waxaq'ib B'atz' no siempre coincide con la misma fecha del año anterior en el calendario gregoriano.  Cada nuevo ciclo tiene intrínseco un potencial extraordinario para crear, manifestar y compartir nuestros sueños e inspiraciones de vida en un nivel más global y poderoso. En este potencial vienen implícitos un sin número de posibilidades tanto positivas como negativas, así que depende de nosotros obtener lo mejor de ellas para seguir creciendo como individuos, comunidades y planeta. En lo personal siento un gran entusiasmo de abrazar lo que este nuevo ciclo nos traiga, siempre recor...

Lunae Jewelry Swap!

Image
As you might know I have just recently joined the Mexican Artists team at Ixiim Gallery and Boutique, and in so doing I have gotten the opportunity to share a beautiful space for my events. On July I felt inspired to create a jewelry swapping event where people could bring their kindly used, in good condition jewels to exchange for other pieces new-to-them. I love swaps myself! I have found great clothing treasures this year during the spring and summer swapping events I have attended to in city, so I thought why not doing something of the like but having jewelry as the main subject to exchange?, so I did it! On Saturday July 29th a bunch of friends and neighbours got together at Ixiim Gallery located at 4917 Dundas St. West in Etobicoke, to have fun, drink delicious Mexican chocolate and swap our stuff. I most say that this was a fantastic event and I feel quite motivated to keep doing it throughout the year. If you joined us on July check out the pictures, perhaps you'll find yo...
