Thursday, November 13th ~ Benefit Dinner with the Guardians
Theme: GUARDIANSHIP, LOYALTY & HARMONY (8 Tz’i’ on the Mayan Calendar)
On this day, the Nawal 8 Tz’i’ invites us to reflect on loyalty, guardianship, and the sacred balance of life. Tz’i’ is the companion and protector, the one who walks beside us with devotion and helps restore harmony when there is imbalance. It is a day to honor truth spoken with sweetness, to recognize the guiding laws of nature, and to offer prayers for justice, peace, and compassion in our communities.
Our Benefit Dinner with the Guardians takes place under this gentle and protective sign. Gathering at the table, we are reminded that nourishment is an act of loyalty to one another and to the Earth. This meal is not just sustenance, but a sacred circle of protection and blessing, where stories are exchanged and prayers are spoken for harmony and balance. In the spirit of 8 Tz’i’, we begin our gathering with gratitude, solidarity, and the shared intention to walk forward together as guardians of the sacred.
Elin Telius, Lindsey Wise will be offering some songs individually and Mitchell Ott will be offering public mediumship gallery.

A sacred evening of prayer, meal, and sharing stories with the Elders and Wisdom Keepers.
Friday, November 14th ~ Day One
Theme: WEAVING THE THREAD OF CONNECTION (9 B'atz on the Mayan Calendar)
On 9 B’atz’, the Nawal of thread, time, and creation, we honor women as the source of life and beauty. This day is about weaving unity, strengthening relationships, and remembering that we are threads in the great cosmic fabric of existence. It is a day for beginnings, for art, for love, and for celebrating the creative energy of the feminine.
As the opening of our sacred gathering, Friday invites us to step into the loom of time itself. We are called to weave our stories together with those of our Ancestors and to strengthen the thread of community. Each teaching, song, and prayer on this day is part of a larger tapestry that holds us in remembrance of who we are and why we have come together in this moment.

Aj reminds us that like trees, we are rooted in spirit, reaching upward in renewal, and offering shelter, wisdom, and life to those around us.
On this final day, we gather in gratitude for all that has been shared and in hope for the generations to come. Sunday is a day of renewal, when we return to our communities carrying seeds of prayer and abundance to plant in our own soil.

Monday, November 17 – {Optional} Post-Retreat Excursion to Chaco Canyon (Day of 12 I’x)
Theme: JAQUAR WISDOM, FEMININE POWER & MOTHER EARTH
On this day, the Nawal 12 I’x brings us into deep connection with the sacred feminine, the jaguar, and the mysteries of Mother Earth. I’x is the energy of the jungle, the mountains, and the altar of life itself. It is a day to honor women and their creative power, to walk with reverence for Earth, and to listen closely to the spirits of nature. The jaguar teaches us balance in the wild, and I’x opens our hearts to magic, beauty, and the hidden wisdom of the universe.
Our pilgrimage to Chaco Canyon falls under this powerful sign, making it a journey of both body and spirit. Chaco is a place where the stones themselves speak, where the sky aligns with sacred architecture, and where the Ancestors left messages in harmony with the stars. Guided by GB Cornucopia, Dr. Cherilynn Morrow, and Dr. Glenn Aparicio Parry, we will walk upon sacred ground, visit Pueblo Bonito and Middle Place, and listen for the jaguar’s whisper in the silence of the canyon. Traveling in a caravan through desert lands, we honor Mother Earth as a living altar, carrying the prayers of the Guardians gathering into one of the most extraordinary ancestral landscapes on this continent. This is a day of magic, renewal, and gratitude — a fitting closing step on the White Path of our journey together.
