OUR NEXT JOURNEY
Nadir Sun Inner Healing Retreat
Live the Heart of the Traditional Maya World
October 28 - November 3, 2025
​
We invite you to embark on a unique experience of spiritual transformation that will change your life and help you explore your Inner Universe in connection with portals and powerful energy centers of the Earth.
​
This 7-day retreat which will take place on the highlands of Guatemala, will be in resonance with the Nadir Passage of the Sun that will occur during those days and in alignment with the energies of the Sacred Cholq'ij Calendar. This event holds great significance in Maya Cosmovision, as it creates an energetic portal that connects us to guides and ancestors in other realms.
Under the guidance of Traditional Mayan Wisdom Keepers, you will visit powerful ancestral cities and engage in different rituals and traditional spiritual practices, such as Sacred Fire Ceremonies, Lineage Reconciliation Ceremony, Ancestral Womb Healing Massage, Harmonizations and Sound Healings, work with Sacred Cacao, Day of the Dead Ritual, Meditations, and more. You will discover the powerful wisdom of the Cholq'ij (Sacred Mayan Calendar) and its energies, as well as explore your personal energy, unveiling your path and life purpose. Most importantly, you will have the unique opportunity for healing during the powerful moment of the Nadir Sun at the Sacred Iximche. This Ritual holds great importance for the Mayas, as it opens a powerful possibility to connect with other dimensions. You can't miss it!
Andy and Denise, who will guide this journey, are both Ajq'ijab' (Maya Wisdom Keepers), and they will be with the group throughout the journey accompanying the processes each person is working with and sharing what they have learned in their own personal paths, which they have been walking for over twenty years. We will also have the participation of Elders of the Mayan Tradition.
If you want to learn more about the power that the passing of the Sun through the Nadir brings to our world, don't miss this unique journey!
We are waiting for you!
Denise and Andy.​
