Maya Cosmovision I
This course is the study and understanding of the ancient Maya’s cosmic vision
of the universe. During the week you will go deeply into the study of OX-LAHUN-TIKU
(the 13 heavens) and the symbolism of BOLONTIKU (the 9 dimensions of the earth)
known as XIBALBA.
You will learn about the five directions of the Maya cosmos, their lords (BAKABES),
their colors, their offerings, their orientation, and the sacred elements of
each one of these directions.
You will be taught and get an opportunity to practice the 13 Maya Cosmic
Salutations to the Universe and the way to call the Heart of the Sky and the
Heart of the Earth, to unite the great heart of the Sun in the sky with Mother
Nature.
Atlantis – Maya Connection
The ancient cosmic cities of Atlantis are still to be found in the land of the
Mayab. The knowledge of Atlantis is found in the Maya temples and pyramids and
in the sacred Maya books (codices) where the hieroglyphs tell us of Atlantis,
“The City of the Transparent Crystals”. Itzamná, “The Dew of the Sky”, came to
the Mayab from Atlantis bringing its great knowledge with him and leaving it in
the Maya pyramids as a great gift for humankind; a gift of spiritual rebirth.
Throughout the week-long course you will learn to identify the various signs of
Atlantis in the Maya sites and learn how to interpret them to receive the
lessons waiting for you there. Through meditations and practices you can then
call up your personal memories of Atlantis.
Mayan Calendars and Prophecies for 2012
The Mayan Calendars:
In order to create their Calendar System, the Maya studied the movement of
the heavenly bodies, the moon and the stars. The mathematics are fascinating
and have intrigued people for many years. However, you cannot get a full
understanding of their Calendar System by looking solely at the mathematics
and science because in their Calendars, the Maya link Science, Art,
Philosophy, and Religion.
In this five day course we will study both the Science of the Calendars and
the Spiritual meaning. We will learn about the Legends surrounding the
Creation of the Calendars and the deeper meaning of the symbols. Throughout
the week we will connect with the source; the Oral Traditions coming
directly from stories that the Maya Elders have told us, and the Maya Sacred
books such as, the Popol-Vuh, the Chilam-Balam, and others, in order to
understand not only how they created these Calendars, but also why. From
this work we will obtain an understanding of why it is important to study
the Calendars at this time and how they are relevant to our lives today.
The Mayan Prophecies for 2012:
The Mayan Prophecies for 2012 are closely tied to their Calendar
System. To find the deeper meaning of the Prophecies you also need to
understand the workings of their Calendars. As we now draw near to the end
of the Mayan Calendar, the Mayan Date of 12 Baktun 6 Ahau (December 21,
2012), we are observing around us events that have never before happened on
this planet. Much of this was foretold by the Maya. The information is
there, and has been there all this time for a reason. We are here now, in
this time, and we have been given the knowledge and the time to change or
modify the prophecies in a positive way. The Prophecies are available to us
in order for us to see what will happen unless we change our course.
During the week we will look at the Prophecies, look at what is happening
today, and look at what our roles are. We will explore what we need to do
to help humankind wake up and learn how to work together to create a better
world.
Maya Shamanism I (note this program is 6 nights, ask us for
the revised prices)
This is an introduction to Maya Shamanism. The goal is to awaken the Shaman
within you as you learn about shamanism in the Maya world. This ancient
tradition is still very much alive in many of the Maya towns and villages
today and Miguel Angel will teach you some of their practices. This special
5 day course includes classroom work, ceremonies, meditations, practices,
and a visit with a local Mayan shaman.
Traditional Maya Medicine I

is intended for healers looking to increase their knowledge and skills as
well as for individuals looking for healing for their bodies, communities
and the planet.

2009 Course Schedule |
Each course consists of 6 days of study (Monday through Saturday), with a total
of 36 hours. Arrival and departure day is on a Sunday. 7 nights hotel
accommodation and continental breakfast daily is included. The 36 hours will be
a combination of classroom work, meditation, practices, visits to Maya sites,
and sacred ceremony. The classes will be small and are intended for students who
want to go deep into the study of specific aspects of the Maya sacred wisdom.
The Maya Cosmic Institute is housed in a beautiful private Spanish Colonial
house in the Historical Center of Mérida, Yucatán. Being a “cosmic” Institute,
not a material one, it does not need a large campus with modern buildings. The
spacious classroom, which accommodates 20 students comfortably, is a large and
airy room with almost 20 foot high ceilings, and a couple of hundred years of
history. The lovely garden has a large grassy area where students can relax
during breaks and where the ceremonies are performed, and is currently being
planted with local herbs, plants, flowers, and trees from the Yucatán. And, of
course, there is a ceiba tree, the Maya Sacred Tree, growing in the garden.
