JOURNEY TO THE LAND OF THE MAYA – MEXICO AND 12-12-12

Maya sacred sites tour

Featuring Merida, Uxmal, Chichen Itza, Tulum and Cancun

December 8-15, 2012

Hosted by Diomira D’Agostino

The Ancient Mayan calendar speaks of 12-12-2012 as the end of times as we know it, and the beginning of a new cycle of evolution for planet earth, humanity and the cosmos. Mayan elders say that the Ancients were informing the modern world to be ready for a giant transformation for the human race. Interestingly, traditions across the world including Buddhism, Tao, Hopi and Vedic knowledge predict a ‘Golden Age’ or ‘Satyug’ in their calendars around the same period. December 2012 is being looked upon as a significant spiritual event and a momentous shift in the collective consciousness of the planet.

12-12-12 is a beautiful opportunity for transformation and healing on a personal and global level. We are invited to allow the supportive energies of Mother Earth to open our hearts and be ready for expansion. BMSJourneys with Diomira, faery healer and channel, as she leads you through this enchanting part of the country and guides you to gently open your heart and prepare your “field” to sow seeds of love that are in harmony with the frequency of Mother Earth. On this enchanting adventure, through softening of the heart space, we will connect with the nature spirits and faeries of this wondrous region. In doing so, we say yes to aligning our hearts to the heartbeat of the planet so that we may be joyfully lifted as the Earth lifts in her awakening. Come ready to step into the Age of Peace, Love and Brotherhood!

This is a one-time event in our lifetime and the Earth’s history as our planet enters galactic alignment with the Great central Sun. BMSJ invites all those who would like to be part of this sacred journey to the powerful region of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico where we will join the special events to take place in Chichen-Itza on 12/12/12.

Your Hostess: Diomira D’Agostino is a channel, faery crystal light healer and originator, energy healer, breathworker and intuitive. In addition to this, she holds a BA in Modern Language and Culture: Spanish and Italian. She has made traveling part of her spiritual practice and her travels include Machu Picchu, Stonehenge, Avebury, Glastonbury, Ireland, Turkey, rainforests in Costa Rica and the pyramids of Egypt. She has lived in six different countries always striving to understand other cultures. She has always had an affinity for the world of Nature and in 2008 while on a Meditation retreat, she was told by Spirit that she would begin to remember and work with crystals and the faeries, the realm of light beings that guides and assists the growth process of the planet. Shortly thereafter she began a personal journey delving into her relationship with the devic and mineral kingdoms. She began channeling information resulting in material for workshops, classes and healings. They explained that the planet is shifting and so are we. In order to make this transition smoother for all, and assist in our awakening process, we must align our frequency to that of Mother Earth. They have asked her to help facilitate the reconnection between humans and the Earth.

ITINERARY

Day 1, December 8: To Cancun and MERIDA (D)

Tour starts in Cancun. Please be sure to be at the Cancun Airport no later than 12 noon where we all meet and transfer to Merida. Check into our hotel and some time to relax before our “Welcome to Mexico” dinner. Here we will do an opening meditation to set intention for the trip. We will receive a personal guide that will be with us for the duration of the journey. Overnight Merida

Day 2, December 9: In MERIDA – Excursion to Uxmal (B/D):

Breakfast at our hotel and then we are off to visit the ruins of Uxmal in the arid Puuc Hills where Chac the Rain God ruled supreme. Our sightseeing will include the Pyramid of the Magician, at 120 feet the easiest of the Mayan Pyramids to scale. Here we will ground down into the Earth to help us immerse into the energy of this new land. We will begin to integrate this new energy, so that we may more easily navigate it. It is here that we will lay a foundation for a new relationship with the Earth and ourselves; we begin to open ourselves up to the nature spirits of the land. Next we go to the Palace of the Masks in Kabah, with its 300 masks of Chac. Kabah has the energy of the Solar Plexus chakra. It is here that we will plant our seeds of intention. Return to Merida and dinner at our hotel.

Day 3, December 10: MERIDA-CHICHEN ITZA (B/L/D):

We visit Dzibilchaltun this morning, one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in the Americas, where the Temple of the Seven Dolls aligns to the rising of the sun at the Vernal Equinox. We then continue to Chichen Itza to inspect “El Castillo”, the Temple of Kukulcan. Here we will see an extraordinary event–the light-and-shadow illusion of the body of the serpent slithering up the north face staircase. The day ends with a Sound & Light show. Dinner at our hotel Overnight Chichen-Itza

Day 4, December 11: in CHICHEN ITZA (B/D)
“Chichen Itza, a transcendent of the great Mayan soul, a transcendent of the human soul”. You won’t believe your eyes, on this visit to Chichen Itza. It is an amazing experience. The morning tour will leave you breathless and longing for more. The Great Pyramid, The Ball Park, The Observatory, The Monk Convent, and The Water Well are just a few of the magnificent buildings and sites you tour and admire as you learn every custom, hear mystical stories and learn how the Mayas became the most powerful civilization in the area, and why we still don’t know for sure how, why or when they ceased to exist.

We will gather here to connect in brotherhood with the devic council of the region. Then we will move into a meditation that aligns us with the heart chakra of Mother Earth. In this way, we will calibrate our frequency to the Earth’s frequency to bring about harmony. After we will spend the rest of the day integrating the experience. You will be able to explore more of Chichen Itza on your own. Now you can re-visit your favorite building, take pictures, mingle with the locals and, best of all, meditate, relax and soak up the energy of this amazing and magical site before returning to the hotel to relax before dinner. Overnight Chichen-Itza

Day 5, December 12: in CHICHEN ITZA (B/D)

After Breakfast, take part in the momentous 12-12-12 ceremonies.

Today is a national holiday and Chichen-Itza is going to be buzzing. Thousands of colorfully dressed Yucatec Maya will come from far and near to celebrate this special event with the assembled crowds who will be sharing their spiritual input with all who are present. Dinner at our hotel. Overnight Chichen-Itza

Day 6, December 13: To Tulum and Cancun (B/L)

After breakfast, we depart for Tulum. In this sacred Mayan center we will see an image of the “Descending God” that represents the planet Venus. Xaman Don Beto said once about this planet: “Venus and Earth are like twin brothers. When the human beings lose the energy of their fluids in their bones, they must request Venus for help”. We also explore platforms, ruined palaces and elevated temples, and the impressive El Castillo, a temple with two columns portraying serpents. Lunch before we continue to Cancun for our overnight and dinner on our own. Overnight Cancun

Day 7, December 14: In Cancun (B/D)

This morning a choice of two activities. You can relax by the pool and beach. Or we have an Optional special event – A Swim with the Dolphins in Paradise at nearby Xel-Há, with dolphinariums designed to reproduce natural conditions, providing you with an opportunity to experience the dolphins in an ocean like habitat. Enjoy touching, seeing, hearing and feeling the wonderful world of the six resident dolphins, as they swim among the group during a prolonged period of time, allowing themselves to be petted freely. Their gift to us is that of unconditional and pure love. It is in this space of acceptance, that we can truly experience freedom, love, peace, true brotherhood. What a beautiful way to integrate and assimilate our experience that we have shared over that last few days. Return to the hotel in Cancun for lunch on our own before our evening farewell dinner. Cost for the Optional Dolphin swim is from $175 to $200 depending on how many take the tour. Overnight Cancun

Day 8, December 15: Depart Home (B) – Tour ends after breakfast

Breakfast at your leisure as you depart on your own for the Cancun airport and your flights home
