Maya Sacred Path 2012
Creating a New Maya Era as Our Journey Continues
Tour operated in cooperation with Sacred Earth Journeys
November 23 – December 2, 2012
2012 has arrived and as our new journey in our Maya Sacred Path series this year is so very close to the actual end of the Mayan Calendar, it will be a very special one. Our Maya Sacred Path program is a tour series which began in 2005 and has been offered each year leading up to 2012, the end of the Mayan calendar, and will continue to be offered in following years. Each year we focus on different aspects of Mayan teachings and visit different Mayan sites as part of our journey. These journeys are for serious students who wish to evolve a deeper awareness of the true Mayan teachings and thus, evolve themselves through a spiritual awakening of cosmic consciousness. As we look forward to the next phase in the future of our world and our own lives, it is time for us to discover and commit to our own personal role in creating a new era for humankind and our planet Earth.
This year’s journey takes us across a “Golden Bridge” of time from Lemuria, Atlantis, and the time of the Maya, through to where we are today – on the threshold of a brand new world. Our connection with these past eras is not with a civilization, a people or a physical continent; it is with a level of evolution that had already been attained in the cycles of time, over and over. Our goal is to bring this forward as we open our consciousness to an unlimited vision of the future.
We begin our journey with the Olmecs, who have been mostly silent up until now. Their culture is still shrouded in mystery and it is clear they have not given up all their secrets. As we visit some of the oldest Olmec sites, we will find the conjunction of time and space for the last 3 eras: Lemuria, Atlantis, and the current one ending with the Mayan Calendar. Our first sacred site, after arriving in Villahermosa, Tabasco will be the distinctive Olmec/Maya site of Comalcalco. Here, we gather for our opening ceremony amidst the ancients and ask for permission and guidance as we are led spiritually and energetically along our journey. We then continue travelling deeper into the world of the Olmec with a visit to the remarkable open-air museum of Parque Museo La Venta where we shall encounter the renowned colossal heads and ponder their secrets. Journeying on to Minatitlan, Veracruz we visit the very special and relatively unknown Pyramid of Quetzalcoapan. On our way to Santiago Tuxtla, Veracruz we visit a sacred waterfall for a special ritual. In town, we explore the Tuxteco Regional Museum, which contains exhibits that span 3500 years of documented Tuxtlas civilization. We close our journey in Chiapas with a visit to Misol Ha, where we will be cleansed by the mystical waterfalls, followed by the powerful Maya site of Palenque, where we bring forward what we have experienced and ask for access to the hidden knowledge from all the ancient eras as well as guidance in using it to consciously create a future filled with peace, love, and harmony with Mother Earth.
Accompanying us on our journey will be Miguel Angel Vergara Calleros, our teacher of the Maya Wisdom, who will lead us in sacred ceremonies and share the wisdom of the ancients he has gathered through his in-depth studies and vast experiences. Also joining us is Dr. Richard Jelusich, whose passion for and connection with the Mayan world, have kept him returning to this wondrous land many times over. He too will share the insights and wisdom he has gathered from his experiences and will also lead us in discussion with informative evening lectures. Together they will lead us in practices, meditations, and ceremonies to help us make our own personal connections with the ancients.
Our journey together will be a circle of time and a great circle of consciousness as we travel to where we have been and on to where we are heading. The emphasis on our Maya Sacred Path journeys has always been on consciousness, studying the cosmology, and the application of the Mayan Calendar. Through our visits to the ancient sites, our participation in sacred rituals and ceremonies, and the teachings shared from past and present teachers, we can build a better understanding of the movement of the earth, planets and stars, and the oral traditions of the Mayan Elders.
Comments from Past Travelers
This was a great trip for me. I learned so much about the Mayan culture and philosophy and about 2012 as well. It was a wonderful experience to be with Miguel Angel and experience his wisdom and humanity. He obviously knows his subject, but he also loves to share his knowledge. Talking with him was a very affirming experience. I have also noticed that I feel different in a good way since I’ve been back – more compassion and more inner peace and more gratitude. We were told that we might notice differences after the trip, but I didn’t expect to experience the shift that I have felt. I enjoyed the places we stayed and the wonderful Mayan sites we saw. I always felt well taken care of and safe. It was also a privilege to travel with such an exceptional group of people who were so spiritually attuned. I thought everything was very well planned, and the people leading the group were all exceptional. The trip has helped me in my own spiritual evolution, and I am very grateful for that.

My Maya Sacred Path experience was one I will not soon forget. Miguel Angel and Dr. Jelusich were wonderful teachers! The powerful experiences at the sites were beyond compare and I have found the personal growth that has resulted from this trip to be extensive and still continuing long after returning home. I felt very safe and well taken care of on every level. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

The trip far exceeded my expectations – Under the guidance of Miguel Angel, we entered many of the ancient Mayan sites and were introduced to the inner and esoteric meanings of the sites. We were taught how to reverentially enter each site, and to feel what was and is present. Miguel Angel led us in simple ceremonies that seemed older than Christianity, and tied to the very land we were in. He taught us to seek the esoteric, and not get caught up in the exoteric. He was the true metaphysician, for me the ultimate teacher and guide to these ancient lands. We thus experienced our introductory slice of the Maya culture in the archaeological sites, in the caves, in the cenotes, and in the Yucatan countryside. I went expecting to expand beyond my limited knowledge of the Maya culture. I came home looking at my own inner Self in a deeper way, experiencing my world and my relations in a richer way, and realizing that this is indeed a very small world and that we’re all truly part of one family. In this way, my outer journey to the Yucatan became the best possible journey – an inner journey where I am now compelled to seek deeply the secrets not within a pyramid, but within my own soul.
