Detailed Itinerary |
|
|
|
Day 1 Sun,
Nov 25: Arrive Merida |
Arrive in Merida and transfer to your hotel in the historic center of Merida.
Since many of you will be coming on the Continental flight from Houston which
arrives after nine at night we will have the introductions tomorrow morning.

|
|
Day 2 Mon,
Nov 26: Uxmal and the Opening Ceremony (B, L) |
Travel to the Puuc Region and the ancient Maya site of Uxmal. Participate in our
opening ceremony where Miguel Angel will call in the four directions and ask the
Maya spirits for permission to enter their sites and protection for us during
our journey through their sacred lands.
Enjoy exploring the many mysteries of the site of Uxmal. Listen, as we sit at
the base of the Pyramid of the Magician, while Miguel Angel tells us the legend
of how Uxmal was created out of the mists by a dwarf, hatched from an egg. Visit
the Temple of Venus. Meditate in the Nunnery Quadrangle after Miguel Angel
explains some of the symbolism in these richly decorated buildings. Walk through
the ball court and then climb up to the Governor’s Palace, considered by many to
be the most beautiful of the ancient Maya structures. Climb to the top of the
Grand Pyramid for a bird’s eye view of this incredible site.

|
|
Day 3 Tue,
Nov 27: Chakmultun and the First Chakra (B, L) |
Travel through the rich fertile lands of southern Yucatan to
the town of Oxcutzcab. The market here is famous for their mountains of fruit on
display. This fruit is grown locally and in November it is citrus season so you
will see huge piles of lemons, limes, grapefruit and many different kinds of
oranges.
Not far from Oxcutzcab is the Maya site of Chakmultun. This out-of-the-way site
is where we will start our work by cleansing the first, or ‘root’, Chakra.
Joining us at Chakmultun is Maya shaman Don Jose. We first create a circle in
the shaded area in front of the main temple, then Don Jose, with the help of
Miguel Angel, will work with us individually and as a group to balance and
cleanse our energy, and heal us on many levels. Don Jose’s work is quite
profound.
Join us for a group session this evening. This is your opportunity to ask
questions and share your experiences of the day with our group leaders.

Day 4 Wed, Nov 28: Labnah, Xlapak, Sayil & Sta. Elena – Second, Third, Fourth &
Fifth Chakras (B, L) |
Travel to the Maya site of Labnah where we will walk along a
Sac Be (white road) and through a beautifully decorated Maya arch. Miguel Angel will lead us in meditations and rituals to help balance and
cleanse the second or ‘sacral’ chakra at this ancient Maya site.
Xlapak and the Third Chakra
We visit the site of Xlapak for the work on the third Chakra. Participate in
meditations and ritual led by Miguel Angel to help us clear and
balance the third, or ‘solar plexus’ Chakra.
Sayil and the Fourth Chakra
Move next to the site of Sayil with its beautiful palace for work on the fourth
or ‘heart’ chakra. Participate in some special heart opening exercises.
Sta. Elena and the Fifth Chakra
For our work on the sixth or ‘throat’ Chakra we go to a completely different and
very special Maya site. Sta. Elena is a Catholic church built on the base of a
Maya temple. This is a truly unique experience.

|
|
Day 5 Thu, Nov 29: Kabah & Uxmal – Sixth & Seventh Chakras (B, L) |
Climb the ancient stone steps at Kabah to view the wall of
Chaak masks. Chaak is the Maya Lord of the Rain. Then follow the path to the
Maya Arch where, with meditations and rituals led by Richard and Miguel Angel,
we will work to balance and cleanse the sixth chakra, the ‘third eye’.
Uxmal and the Seventh Chakra:
This is the final Chakra to clear. The seventh or ‘crown’ Chakra completes this
part of our work and we have returned to Uxmal, where we started, to do this.
Join Miguel Angel this evening for his lecture: The Maya Prophecies: Connection
with Lemuria and Atlantis

Day 6 Fri,
Nov 30: Chichen Itza and a Cenote Swim (B, L) |
Say goodbye to the hilly Puuc region as we travel now to
Chichen Itza. Swim in the refreshing waters of the Ik’il cenote, a sacred Maya
pool connected underground to the site of Chichen Itza. Enjoy lunch at their
excellent buffet and then check in to the hotel for a little rest.
Return to Ik’il for a private candle lit ceremony. Miguel Angel will lead us in
the Maya ritual along with shaman Don Florencio. We will receive a Maya blessing
from the shaman to complete the work we have done over the last week.
