Tour Description
 

Journey with us and Return to the Sacred Path of the Sun on our 2008 Maya Sacred Path to 2012 program.  This is a tour series which began in 2005 and will be offered each year leading up to and past 2012, the end of the Mayan calendar.  Each year we focus on different aspects of Mayan teachings and visit different Mayan sites as part of our journey.  These journeys are for serious students who wish to evolve a deeper awareness of the true Mayan teachings and thus, evolve themselves through a spiritual awakening of cosmic consciousness.

Sun through Trees & 4 directionsThis year, our focus is on the role of the sun, our sacred central star in the solar system of planets, and the cosmology of the Mayan understanding of the sun in the evolution of our consciousness.  In ancient times, the Maya Lord Ah-Kin-Pech travelled this path and connected with the soul of the sun while he planted the seeds of wisdom he received from the essence of the Sun.  We will follow in his footsteps, back to the source of the Sun, and participate in sacred Mayan ceremonies and rituals where we will harvest the sacred wisdom from these seeds, planted by Lord Ah-Kin-Pech, to understand the value this wisdom contains.

Our journey will take us through the scenic and diverse regions of Yucatán, Campeche, and Quintana Roo, visiting unique and ancient Maya sites along the way such as, Edzná, “The House of the Sacred Mantras”, Chicanná, Kalakmul, “the Place with Two Pyramids”, Kohunlich, “The Temple of the Father Sun”, and Becán, “The Initiatic Path of the Serpent”.  We will venture off the beaten track to explore these less visited sites for private and peaceful ceremonies, and to work intimately with the energies of each site.  Our ceremonies will help to quiet our minds and to open our hearts for inner teachings to be revealed to each of us, and are intended to help us evolve as spiritual beings.   We will also immerse ourselves deep in the lush jungle to listen to and discover the captivating sounds and sights of nature, and then end off our journey at the beautiful Tucan Siho Playa  for a welcomed rest before returning to colonial Mérida.

Kalakmul, MexicoWe will combine our visits to the sacred sites with traditional Mayan ceremonies led my Miguel Angel Vergara Calleros and his informative teachings of the Maya Wisdom and Cosmology.  We will also have three lectures with Richard Jelusich: The Sun and the Maya, an immersion into the esoteric teachings of the Maya and the deeper meaning of their relationship to the sun; Why the Maya studied the Heavens, a discussion on Mayan Astroarchaeology and the concept of the “Yugas”; and Past Lives, Karma and Reincarnation, an exploration of the cycles of birth and rebirth and the enigmatic mystery of the Maya’s appearance and sudden “disappearance”.

Please join us on this transformational journey – but please book early to avoid disappointment – our tour filled quite quickly last year, and the group size is limited to 25 participants. Also, please note that it is not required that you commit to every year in the Maya Sacred Path to 2012 program, you may join us for one or more journeys as you please. Each tour is a stand-alone program.

 
Comments from some of our past participants:

 

My first travels with Sacred Earth Journeys and it was an amazing one. Everything was so well organized and we learned so much. I’m really looking forward to the next trip.

Linda Lang, Luxembourg (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 - Dec/09)

Stellar!  I arrived in Merida 2 days early expecting to find my own way to the hotel and there was Trudy's welcoming lovely face waiting with a hug.  The feeling of being wrapped in love and light knowing that all was taken care of continued right through to the end of the trip.  It allowed me to focus fully on every heart-expanding experience of connecting with the ancient Maya.  I loved learning about the cosmos as they knew it, knowing how accurate they were to today's scientific knowledge.  The ceremonies opened my intuition and were healing and inspiring, moving me along my sacred path.  I am now able to draw from their energy in my daily life.  The accommodation was lovely, the time to explore the towns and cities fun and enlightening, and the transpiration very comfortable.  The universe also handed me a golden opportunity to attend the Maya Cosmic University when I was there.  I learned so much and in fact one piece of information I'd been searching for, to enhance my own healing practice, came up during the classes.  I can hardly wait for the trip in 2009.  Thank you Helen, Daniela, Erik, Trudy, Richard and Miguel Angel for an indescribable experience!

Dianne Harding, Port Moody, BC (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 - Dec/08)

My first impression was that here was a company that really cared what they offered and I wanted the journey that I selected to be a very personal experience. From my initial enquiry, through all the various stages of my Sacred Journey, I can only say how much I appreciated the excellent service provided. Money can buy many things, but the gift of true companionship of like souls is one I received freely. The memories of my journey will last. Thank you.
Christine Marsh, England (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 - Dec/08)

If you are looking for a no-brainer week in the Yucatan this is not the trip for you. It is an experience beyond description that could change your goals, the way you see life and put you on a path to spiritual renewal. You can come away with a sense of healing, knowledge and desire to share what you have learned from such gifted spiritual healers. Miguel Angel has an incredible loving Heart combined with Richard's knowledge of how today's science verifies the Mayan beliefs about astronomy. It is a blissful experience not to be missed.
Cindy Wead, Prescott Valley, Arizona (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 - Dec/08)

A soul searching and soul nurturing spiritual journey with all material needs cared for so I could just be, without worry. Each step of the journey was well planned and executed. Well done!
Sharonfaith Horton, La Mesa, CA (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 - Dec/08)

I have traveled from Australia twice to experience two different amazing Mayan, Sacred Earth Journeys. Both were more and less challenging than expected; completely different from each other, but equally inspiring.   It has been wonderful to travel with such an enlightened/professional tour company and group of individuals who allow and support each other’s magical adventures to unfold.   It wouldn’t have been possible to experience so much, in such a short time, without their support.  I am extremely grateful for the ‘true’ Mayan history and wisdom from our much-loved leaders and the sacred sites themselves.   As we approach the year 2012 – the end of time, according to the Mayan Calendar, it is imperative we become conscious of who we are and our place in the universe.  Thank you for being of service.
Karen Stuart, Australia (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 – Dec/07)

The Sacred Earth Journey - Flight of the Stellar Serpent - was very real and fully opened my awareness to how much beauty there is in Mayan history, temple glyphs and the jungle landscape. Miguel’s Ceremonies, as we entered every temple ground, were a perfect example of the way to respect the Sacred Earth and feel part of the greater whole. Thank you Helen, Trudy, Erik, Miguel and Richard for leading us so humbly and with such expertise!
Serah Roer, Tappen, BC (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 – Dec/07)

This is my second Maya Tour with you and I just want you to know that once again you delivered in terms of physical challenge, spiritual experiences and overall fun. It was delightful to explore the ruins in Chiapas and Tabasco, Mexico and in Tikal, Guatemala. Being in the dense rainforest with monkeys, possums, birds of all kinds, butterflies was up-lifting and life affirming. All this created a space for my own personal journey which I appreciate beyond words. Thanks for the wonderful adventure.
Maureen F. Balaam, Monterey, CA (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 – Dec/07)

This was truly a Sacred Journey and the path traveled with Miguel Angel and Richard opened my mind, heart and soul to the Mayan initiatory process. Now my goal is to walk imbued with this feathered stellar serpent energy through every day life. I look forward to more sacred journeys to the lands of the Mayans.
Tyhson Banighen, Tappen, BC (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 – Dec/07)

What a privilege to explore and travel through the magical Mayan sites in Mexico and Guatemala. I found the Mayan journey fascinating, and inspiring, leaving much to ponder and digest. The leaders Miguel Angel, Richard, Erik, and Trudy complimented each other so well, letting us feel well cared for, while retaining individual time for our own experiences to emerge. The group energy was very supportive and I made many new friends in the short time we spent together. The beauty and wisdom of the land, rainforest jungles, pyramids and people is something we should have the honour of experiencing. The Mayan Calendar is now a part of my vocabulary and I look forward to a continued understanding of its wisdom.

Helen is so skillful in manifesting her visions, and has created yet another amazing sacred journey that comes from the heart. Helen and her team take care of all the details, so we can sit back and enjoy the ride! In Lak’ech!
Susan Rogers, Vancouver, BC (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 – Dec/07)

Maya Sacred Path to 2012 – Flight of the Stellar Serpent, a multi-levelled journey encompassing a myriad of experiences and expressions unique to each individual. The physical locale of Mexico and Guatemala offering a glimpse of the Mayan existence heightened by teaching brought forward to our present day in which we participate. The spiritual component integrated at each site visited lending to personal growth and development, clearing and renewal. Forever changed. A wonderful group of individual traveling together in harmony, peace, unconditional love, happiness and joy!
Barbary Lynn, Richmond, BC (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 – Dec/07)

This was my first “Spiritual Journey” but second tour. The camaraderie of the participants on this trip greatly exceeded my “regular” tour. As a solo traveler, I really appreciated that aspect.
Joanne Bryla, China Grove, NC (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 – Dec/07)

Transformational, joyful, humbling, trip of a lifetime. The efforts of Helen, Trudy, Richard, Miguel & Erik were inspiring. Who would have thought tramping through the jungle where you had to stay on the path or get poisoned, bitten or lost would have been so exciting. Visiting temples long abandoned, seeing treasures beyond the imagination of the Olmec traditions, experiencing meditations out of this world, literally, landing pads, mosquito netting, hammocks in the rough, toning in temple chambers that raised the kundalini, exquisite wall art in the Mayan pyramid chambers, praying to the Maya mother of all time, and holding a crystal skull facing the sun. What can I say? The trip was like no other. Bussing, boating with alligators sunning themselves on the river banks, crystal clear streams and exquisite water falls while the sun sets on tree lined roads, created an atmosphere of remembering, going back to the beginning of time. Being transported to the past cultures of the Maya made us all realize we lived this life before among the lush lands in Palenque, Tikal in Guatemala, with Alantian influences, art, engineering, ceremonies and architecture. Need I say more? Trip of a life time!!!
Linda Strom-Medvitz, Lakeside, CA (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 – Dec/07)

This could be the experience of a lifetime. It may challenge, transform, nourish, even overwhelm, but it is always worth it!
Yvonne Plankey, Calgary, AB (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 – Dec/07)

Great trip, excellent organization. Beyond expectations. Trudy, Erik, and Miguel Angel worked wonderfully to make this a fabulous trip. Loved it. Highly recommend it. This is my second trip with Sacred Earth Journeys. Both excellent experiences. AAAAA+++++"
Amelia Borge, Sarasota, Florida (Maya Sacred Path to 2012 - Nov/07)


As I was traveling from Scotland on my own I was slightly apprehensive as I didn't know what to expect. When I reached my final destination in Merida - Mexico I was instantly overwhelmed by how welcoming and attentive the place, people and energy felt. It was quite magical!!! The natural vibration of Mexico was comforting and harmonious (a stark contrast to my experience at 'Houston Airport' - it was like leaving the darkness and reaching the light). Ironic concept in itself as we evolve towards 2012!?

Now that I think about the journey and my own personal experience, it was like one long spiritual and conscious 'trip' where everything just fell into place and made complete sense. It offered a oneness of mutual love, respect, understanding and balance between me, my fellow trippers and the universe on a micro to macro level. Everything had a purpose and was recognized and respected for that, it was 'Cosmic'. My thoughts were crystalized resulting in my own mind’s power and energy cleansing and aligning my own soul. Is that 'Maya' or the 'Crystal' Conscience? Not sure? But I know I have changed, I can feel it, there has been a shift in me as I've reconnected with myself and source and feel clarity and calmness.

I had a fantastic experience in Mexico and one I will cherish for the rest of my life. It was very personal to me that I gained firsthand insight, knowledge, understanding and wisdom of 'Mother Earth' the 'Universe', the 'Maya' and the 'Shamans'. So I'd like to thank everyone involved at Sacred Earth Journeys for introducing me to wonderful people and creating and providing that opportunity for me.

Some say 1 day in a Sacred Site is the equivalent of 1000 sessions of meditation and I've discovered that that's very, very true...
