Trip of a Millennium

Witness the end of the 5,140 year old Mayan Calendar.

You will learn first-hand about the Maya Global 2012 indigenous projects in Honduras and Guatemala while traveling the ancient Maya trails. You will meet the project leaders and visit with elders throughout the region. The trip will conclude with four days/four evenings in Copan Ruinas, Honduras. You will have a private tour of the Maya excavation on December 21 and then celebrate the calendar ending on Winter Solstice at sun set with a Maya Sacred Fire Ceremony followed by a feast. This is a remarkable chance, with renowned Maya Luminaries, to observe a cosmic alignment of our solar system with the plane of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, representing the end of a 25,920 -year cycle that is based on the Precession of the Equinoxes.

 

Joshua - 'Tree of Life and the dawning of a new era'

5,140 Years of Mayan Culture:

We invite you to join, as a founding member, the Maya Global 2012 ‘Tree of Life’. This magnificent Ceiba tree of the Mayans, one of the largest in the Central American Rainforest, is a very straight light gray barked tree with a unique flat top crown. Its huge buttressed roots provide shelter for bats, and the transition from the underworld to the “middle ground” and then to the heavens. The “middle ground” is populated by huge anteaters that claw into the large termite nests in the branches. The crown is very special indeed. The branches radiate out almost horizontally, forming a perfect roost site above the canopy for the magnificent Harpy Eagle, the largest eagle. It soars aloft from this roost across the canopy in search of small game, which can also include some large catches such as anteaters and monkeys. It is the Mayan symbol for God of the Heavens, as the bat is their symbol for God of the Underworld.

Reducing Poverty and Improving Environments:

David Sedat, chief archeologist for the University of Pennsylvania’s dig at the spectacular ruin in Copan, Honduras and the creator of the ‘New Useful Forest’ says, “2012 should represent a date to dream on, to dream of the best that we can do to maximize the law of attractions that resides inside of all of us, to ensure that Creation continues to unfold in a just, harmonious and dignified way, with all of Creation’s creatures bound together on that greatest of epic journeys, the quest through the ever-unfolding Cosmos towards home and where we began! Let’s start that harmonic resonance within each of us, before we worry how things will go in the larger sphere…”
