 Come and experience a Journey through the 5 Elements with spiritual teacher, Raúl Heredia, and reconnect with the Great Mother in the tropical forests, vast green sunlit valleys, and breezy ocean shores of the Gulf of Mexico. This is Veracruz, a land that rises from a tropical coastal plain into the temperate valleys and highlands of the Sierra Madre Oriental….a land of extreme fertility and abundant life force energy. Strengthen your body, mind, and spirit through the daily practice of morning Chi Kung, and allow the vital chi energy to stream through your entire being. Our journey is based on the model and teachings of spiritual teacher and doctor of Clinical Psychology and Holistic Medicine, Carlos de León, who will honour us as a guest teacher at the onset of our journey. Throughout the journey you will explore the 5 elements of water, earth, air, fire, and ether, integrating these elements into your daily physical and spiritual practices.
 Reconnect with the ancients, learn the correct way to enter and exit these sacred places and connect with their energies, and experience the transformational healing power of the elements through special ceremonies and deep meditations. Revel in the purifying element of water at Cascada de Texolo waterfall and Eyipantla Falls, ground yourself with the strengthening earth element at El Tajin and Cempoala, energize and revitalize yourself with the fire element in a Fire Dance and Fire Walk at Nanciyaga Ecological Reserve, let your spirit soar and feel negative energies lift away with the air element during a cleansing Limpia and Temazcal Ceremony, and examine the ether element by exploring history and rediscovering ancient peoples at the Anthropology Museum of Xalapa. We will also be introduced to Odiyana - a private one of a kind ecological, humanistic and transpersonal community near Xico being developed by Carlos De León and his partners.
 To begin your journey, you will be gifted with a special Talisman, a sacred and protective object associated with elemental power and used by many cultures around the world for thousands of years. This special amulet will be empowered by the individual wearer as well as through ceremonies at the various sacred sites visited and will be honoured in a final ceremony at the end of the journey.
Throughout the journey you will share in insightful discussions and lectures facilitated by Raúl to learn more about how the 5 elements can aid in restoring balance within yourself as well as with the natural world. You will also have the privilege of meeting wise elders and local shaman to learn firsthand how their honouring of the elements allows them to live a more sacred and balanced life, fully attuned to the rhythms of Mother Earth.
Join us in this experiential journey through the 5 elements and allow yourself to tap into not only your own vital life energy, but the wonderfully healing and powerful energy of our Great Mother as well. Let the transformative energies of this sacred place strengthen, rejuvenate, and awaken you!
