In our fast-paced world, aging is often seen as slowing down, but it can be a time of gaining a meaningful role within the community. The Mayan Indigenous template values the elderly as essential keepers of spiritual tradition and guides for younger generations. Moving with gratitude, embodied elders can take responsibility for their people and offer service to sustain and encourage.
Join Mayan lineage-holder Tat Erick Gonzalez on Sunday, May 19, 2024 at 2 pm EST, to explore how we can embody our purpose throughout every stage of life, particularly in Elderhood.
This event invites community members to learn from indigenous wisdom that enriches our understanding and integrates valuable insights into our daily lives. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with ancient traditions that teach us to honor and utilize the unique gifts of every life phase.

Grandfather Fire—Traditional cultures throughout the Americas have long known Fire to be a wise and loving presence. Many Aboriginal and First Nations peoples call the Spirit of Fire Grandfather. During Fire Speaks audiences, traditional healer Don David Wiley lends his body so the Spirit of Fire can answer questions from those who come to hear His stories and wisdom. Spending time with Grandfather Fire and his teachings about living life from Heart has helped thousands find clarity and courage to meet life’s challenges in a new way. Grandfather Fire is wise, funny, provoking, and profoundly insightful. Spending an evening with Him is a unique opportunity to ask your most pressing questions about life’s mysteries and deepen your connection with the sacred spirits of the natural world.
