“The MAYA ZODIAC: Understanding the Tzolkin” is a captivating virtual tour that will IMMERSE YOU IN THE ASTRONOMICAL AND SPIRITUAL WISDOM of one of history’s most advanced civilizations. Throughout this journey, you will discover the SOPHISTICATION OF THE 260-DAY SACRED CALENDAR and how this system did not just measure time, but dictated the destiny and spiritual essence of every individual. For the ancient Maya, the TZOLKIN was the BRIDGE BETWEEN THE COSMOS AND EARTHLY LIFE—a vital tool for maintaining balance with the forces of nature. On the tour, you will have the opportunity to deeply understand the 20 solar glyphs and the 13 sacred numbers that compose this mathematical and spiritual matrix. We will explore concepts such as the Nagual (the animal spirit companion), the INFLUENCE OF DEITIES ON PERSONALITY, and HOW THE CALENDAR GUIDED CRITICAL DECISIONS—from agriculture and warfare to marriage and rites of passage. Additionally, you will gain a detailed vision of how the count of days is intricately linked to human gestation and the cycles of the cosmos. By immersing yourself in the mysteries of the Maya zodiac, you will DISCOVER A WAY OF UNDERSTANDING EXISTENCE BASED ON THE INTERCONNECTIVITY OF ALL THINGS.
