About this Event
REGISTRATION IS LIMITED TO 24 ATTENDEES! PLEASE REGISTER NOW TO RESERVE A SEAT...WE'LL CREATE A WAITING LIST IN CASE A SPOT OPENS UP!
On this night, a powerful doorway opens for just a short window of time. This is the most auspcious time for you to set your intentions for the next 6 months. The Principle Nahua Winter Solstice Spirits, seated in the 4 directions, will share their wisdom to help guide you. Everyone will have an opportunity to participate in a meaningful, sacred way held by the initiated Ceremonial Leader and supported by a Sacred Fire. This is an authentic Nahua Ceremony to help each of us move in a good way and connected to the powerful seasonal influences that create balance and health in our lives and benefit our communites.
To give you an idea of the depth and opportunity to support your life by attending this Ceremony, let me share some of the experiences from a previous Winter Solstice Ceremony:
Many themes emerged for this Going Inward, or Gestational time. Petitions for better self care, better boundary setting, the capacity to stand in one's power, longing for a peaceful heart, the capacity to trust, and lay down stress. Beautiful and powerful insights and guidance were given from the Directions, challenging us to shift in how we relate to Death, how to navigate the River of Life in this time, how to cut things away that we've been allowing to drag us down. There was an opportunity to really come clean about what stands in the way for each participant to realize their goals that came forward: resistance, stubbornness, old habits, and fear, to name a few. And as this Door was opened, strength and encouragement were given and through-lines for each person were laid down for this restorative time that lies ahead.
And here is one person's experience from our Summer Solstice:
Your grace and wisdom helped us to experience something special, individually and as a group❤️ Folks were so into it... I am humbled to receive new insights and see clearly what I can let go of. This season I am committed to creating a new way for me to make a living. I am grateful for the natural cycles and order of things to be my guides. I will let go of the non-essential and the distractions that keep me from focusing on that which is nourishing. I am empowered to share my light and let go of the self-judgement. After being broken down I am renewed.
Thank you for the special gift of ceremony and sacred fires you lead in our community!!
We hope you'll join us for this amazing evening!
Warmly,
Cindy Fogle- initiated Granicero (Weather Worker), Ceremonial Leader, Traditional Healer and Firekeeper

This photo is from one of our Fall Weatherwork Ceremonies to give thanks for life-giving rains that blessed our region during the growing season. This Mayoria, or Temple, is located in Tepoztlán, Mexico. I am honored to serve as your initiated Ceremonial Leader in the Nahua Tradition.
Hurricane Helene has shown us that we are a great way off from being in right relationship with the weather spirits and that there is much to be done. We are being called to walk on the earth in a new yet ancient way: expressing our deepest gratitude and respect for the earth and the weather spirits for their great generosity every day. I encourage you to commit to this with every fiber in your being as this is what is necessary to bring back the connection that our ancestors embodied. We have this hard wired in us!! We've only to remember the old ways.
