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.

Originally from Australia, Annie King and her family found themselves living in the United States over 20 years ago. Through a series of serendipitous events including studying Plant Spirit Medicine, she became involved in the building of the Sacred Fire Community through supporting community fires. From the first ones held in the US in September 2001, around the event of 9/11, the fires have spread across the world, and become a place of solace and transformation. Annie is grateful for this opportunity to support this work, and honored to work with the Firekeepers dedicated to bringing Fire to their people.Annie has taught yoga, meditation and stress management in schools and hospitals and private settings both in Australia and the US, offers retreats, and has a healing practice in Florence, SC. She is fortunate to have been initiated as a granicera in the Nahua weather working tradition, and is in the process of becoming a tepahtiani, a healer, in that tradition. She feels incredibly grateful for her loving husband, and her family that now includes two grandchildren that bring her immense joy.

Sherry Boatright received a calling to her spiritual path through Nahua shaman Don Lucio Campos in the central Mexican highlands in 1999 and was initiated as a quiatizques (woman bringer of rain) in this traditional path. From this she became devoted to bringing fire and spirit into community. She became a Firekeeper and participates in growing the organization of Sacred Fire. She was asked to develop the Lifeways series of programs grounded in the human life stages and is now working to evolve those into a comprehensive whole called Life Cycle Living. Sherry trained as a psychotherapist and had a private practice where she was involved for many years with facilitating women’s groups. She helped to create the Ukalái Women’s Gathering, (now LifeWork for Women: Ukalai) and has offered that program in the US, Mexico, Australia and the UK. She studies Nahua healing and has been initiated as a tepahtiani (traditional Nahua healer).
