Mayan Priest CARLOS BARRIOS and Priestess ADRIANA ROJAS
TOUR THE HEARTLAND
Chicago - June 14-19, 2011
We are honored to welcome Don Carlos Barrios, renown anthropologist, researcher, historian, member of the World Council of Mayan Elders and a distinguished Ajq'ij, (Mayan Priest & Daykeeper) to Chicago. Historically, authentic Mayan teachers have not been able to travel much, so this is truly a rare opportunity. Carlos' unique background and gifts make him one of the most highly qualified to teach Mayan wisdom. Carlos' teachings of Mayan wisdom are at a deeper level than has ever been taught in Chicago.
Carlos Barrios has published several studies and books on the Mayan calendar in Spanish, but his seminal work, The Book of Destiny published in English in 2009, has quickly become the reference for many Westerners studying Mayan calendars and prophecies. His prophetic track-record speaks for itself.
He has extensive experience within numerous Mayan lineages which powers his ability to convey well-rounded and well-founded teachings of Mayan cosmology to the Western mind. Carlos Barrios is also a gifted healer, daykeeper, diviner and teacher.
True to the Mayan tradition of spiritual couples, Carlos teaches with his wife, Adriana Rojas, initiated in the Amazonian tradition and also a Mayan Ajq'ij.
This tour of the Heartland is geared to reach as many seekers and interested participants for a fair price. In keeping with Mayan wisdom, in Chicago we have chosen North, South, East and West location venues as homage to the four directions and to create our circle as one. We hope you can join us for any or all of these events.
BE SURE TO VISIT OUR HOME PAGE AND DISCOVER YOUR MAYAN CROSS!
Carlos and Adriana will also be in the Madison, WI, area from June 20-30. Check http://www.carlosbarrios.org for details and registration.

Fire ceremonies are the center of all spiritual practices and common among all ancient and native cultures. A fire ceremony is the most powerfully transformative of all rituals. Each fire ceremony offers us the opportunity to use the source of all light to amplify our intentions and oblations. The divine lives in the fire.
This ceremony is the best way to learn, embody and connect with the Mayan sacred calendar. This is a primordial ceremony that is certain to stay with you for days and weeks ahead, especially when amplified by the energies of the full moon. We set intentions, we ask for assistance, abundance, forgiveness, personal power, protection and much more as we offer our hearts and small material items to please the Nawales.
In this ceremony, we will ask for the health and well-being for our beloved Lake Michigan, the land and people in Chicago and throughout the world.
