February 14th 2000 - Yucatan Mexico No place on earth but Chichen Itza embodies the climax of wisdom and energy practices of the Toltec-Maya. Chichen Itza is the apex of the marriage between the Toltec and the Maya, where the whole became greater than the sum of the parts, where the knowledge, initiations and energetic transformations, exceeded this realm and are geometrically housed within awakened, living temples of stone. Following celestial omens, a journey to Chichen will be offered, as this is the only place in the world where practitioners may experience the authentic, awesome totality of the Toltec-Maya initiatory cosmos and see these energies, housed within their encoded temple structures, with their very own eyes. Those who accept the invitation to make this journey will be required to comply with a most stringent purification, offering up all of the non-essentials of their lives, in the hopes of being empty enough to receive even a minute portion of the wonders that await. The Yucatan peninsula is a celestial land, honeycombed ancient white limestone, flowing with sacred underground rivers, and with the authentic living descendants of the Toltec-Maya, the Itzais, who still occupy parts of the land all the way to the jungles of Tikal, Guatemala. The Journey will begin with a purification at Xcaret, where participants will float down the underground river of life and death. This site of ritual bathing for the ancient Toltec-Maya was the beginning point of a journey of offering to the feminine lunar and water energy of the goddess Ixchel. Dolphins swim at the sparkling coast of Xcaret, which is now an eco paradise and a sea turtle hatching area. If we are fortunate, participants will also witness the authentic, ancient Mayan ball game, played on a sacred court in full regalia, and hear the blessings of the feathered Toltec-Maya priests for the new fire at Xcaret. The next day the group will journey to Coba, passing through small Mayan towns along the way. Coba is a primal feminine priestess site within the jungle, still just as the Maya left it, unspoiled by restoration or archeological digs.
