The mission is to understand and document Maya healing and magic. That might sound overwhelming, but it is about adventure, discovery, and lots of listening to stories of magic, jungle guardians and shapeshifting, stories of energies and the souls of plants. It is about asking questions and making connections with local healers, story keepers, grandmothers, and guides. And it is about having first hand encounters with the supernatural.

It is about paying attention to the details in your experience whether it be accepting an impromptu invitation to a traditional Maya home-cooked meal, or walking through the corn crop in a farmer's field. 

Because the magic is everywhere. 

​

And the keys to the secrets are found in everyday living.

​

You discover the magic in a tradition of waiting 3 days after a hurricane before checking the corn to see if its damaged because the three days give the local gods time to heal the corn. You find it in a bundle of deer skulls hung on the wall above an open fire for cooking in the kitchen because they bring good luck and ensure the deer will agree to sacrifice another member of their herd for the sustenance of the family. 

​

In the seeking for answers, you must look in unexpected places, for not all answers are found by the simple asking of direct questions. 

​

Most lie hidden. 

​

And so, to unearth the healing mysteries, you must do much more than sit at the feet of a shaman and listen to lectures. You must participate in the living. And while you are participating, you must look carefully and listen. Pay close attention to what you see and to what you feel. Listen closely to the stories told over an informal lunch or while walking together in the jungles looking for medicinal plants. For in the details, in the daily conversations, you will find clues, bits of magical healing treasures. For there you will find answers to questions you asked. 

And more powerfully still, to questions you didn't ask.

Your mind expands as does your knowledge of ancient healing and magic. 

And answers come to you unbidden simply because you took the time to make the connections. And often, the answers come through connection to more than just your surroundings. They come through connection to your own intuition, your own spiritual guides, and even though first-hand supernatural experience!
