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.

As a long-time community leader with Sacred Fire, she guides and supports young women through their initiation into adulthood, and she also serves as an initiated Firekeeper who holds space at community fires for people to experience the wisdom and healing that comes from sitting by a sacred fire..
