Honor your body at Mar de Jade!

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Mar de Jade with its graceful contours and Mediterranean style serves as a gathering place for spiritual events. The spacious layout of the property offers a sense of privacy as it blends with the natural surroundings of Chacala, Mexico complete with luscious mango and papaya trees, hammocks beneath palm trees, and the beautiful beach.

Delicious and nutritious meals are served three times a day, usually buffet style, in the breezy open-air dinning pavilion overlooking the ocean. In their daily preparations they use fresh local products: fish, sea-food, chicken, cheese – and abundant fruits and vegetables: lettuce, arugula, beans, figs, hibiscus, papaya, mango, bananas, and pineapples. The majority of vegetables and fruits come from their own Organic Farm. They make their own yogurt, granola, tofu, hummus, breads and baked goods, pastries, desserts, peanut-butter, and marmalade’s.

Mar de Jade’s kitchen staff is happy to accommodate special dietary restrictions such as allergies, vegans or vegetarians, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc. All of their raw foods are carefully disinfected and washed with purified water. Purified water is also provided for drinking. All food served at Mar de Jade is prepared with great care, attention and love.

To sweat is to pray, to make an offering of your innermost self. Sweat is holy water, prayer beads, pearls of liquid that release your past. Sweat is an ancient and universal form of self healing, whether done in the gym, the sauna, or the sweat lodge. I do it on the dance floor. The more you dance, the more you sweat. The more you sweat, the more you pray. The more you pray, the closer you come to ecstasy.

• Learn Shamanistic techniques that you can employ for your own healing and for others?
• Facilitate your connection to the non-ordinary reality and spirit world?
• Practice the techniques of Power Animal and Soul Retrieval for the purpose of energetic reintegration?
• Re-connect to the ancient Shamanistic ways in celebration of 2012?
• Merge with the sacred ruins of Chichen Itza & the messages in the stones?

If your answer is YES! then you owe it to yourself to join author and Shaman Ernesto Ortiz for this powerful retreat to Chichen Itza, Mexico! The Shamanic Journey is an ancient but eternally relevant way to contact the timeless reality that exists parallel to and just out of sight of the world we so mistakenly call “reality.” It is in our everyday “reality” that we experience the reflection of who we believe we are, of our deepest beliefs, our “dream” – but it is in the non-manifest world of the spirit that the hidden causal interactions are formed. Hidden that is, until we begin to open the doors and “see” with expanded vision, with the eyes of a Shaman.

Through Shamanism we can tap into a vast fund of ancient timeless knowledge which can be utilized anywhere, under any conditions. We can heal the effects of past traumas, and practice living in an inner state of balance and harmony while dealing with the challenges and vicissitudes of life. Shamanism helps us develop the best in ourselves no matter what comes our way, and affects the quality of our interpersonal relationships and how we relate to our mother earth.

Because Shamanism is a worldview based on the belief that everything in the universe is connected and interdependent – it encourages a deep respect for the natural world and its ecosystem. And in today’s world – what could be more relevant?

Highlights of Your Adventure:

• Explore the sacred site and mythology of Chichen Itza
• Learn how to prepare your healing bundle
• Understand our relationship to the universe through the medicine wheel
• Deepen your experience of The Shamanic Journey
• Practice Soul Retrieval techniques
• Learn Power Animal Retrieval for self-integration

• Explore your shadow self for deeper healing
• Optional Ayahuasca Plant Medicine Ceremony
• Imparting spiritual energy and power
• Practice entering an ASC (altered state of consciousness) for sacred information and Shamanic ecstasy.

Hotel Oka’an Retreat Center

We’ll be staying at the Hotel Oka’an Retreat Center located in the jungle of Chichen Itza near the pyramids nestled in the midst of the mystical energy that supports transformation and initiation. (Take a moment to watch the video on the right –>) It is designed to channel this powerful light energy for your benefit while providing you with a holistic experience to your mind, your spirit and your body.

December 21st, 2012 is a just step away and there is no better way to prepare for this cosmic shift than to celebrate together with Shamanic ceremonies and Sacred circles facilitated by author and Shaman Ernesto Ortiz. Our intent is to start creating a shift in our personal vibrational frequency to align our personal Chakras with the Planetary Chakras. Here we will have an opening circle honoring the ancient ways with a powerful “Medicine Wheel” and “Sacred Pipe Ceremony” so we can enter into the new cosmic cycle of 2012 with grace and ease.

Rewind while you unwind, bring your spirit into wholeness, re-connect with your Shamanic and Sacred Selves, and become vibrationally alive as you supercharge your four lower bodies (mental, emotional, physical and spiritual) with cosmic energy as this vibrational shift ends and a new one awakens. This is an opportunity for you to consciously let go of all you have accumulated, not only in this lifetime, but all the lifetimes you have lived in the last cosmic cycle of 26,000 years.

The Sacred Energies of Pachamama

You will be joined on this journey by our guide, Romulo Castilla a Peruvian Shaman, and great source of the ancient Inca teachings and traditions. Along with several other local shamans, you will participate in wonderful ceremonies to help you connect with the spirit of the land and Pachamama.

Using the three levels of the Inca’s mythology of transcendence, we move from the underworld of separation and fear to the clarity of spiritual consciousness and oneness. The snake, puma and condor will be the symbols we use to represent our process for these 9 sacred days together at the sacred sites of Ollantaytambo, Pisac, Sacsayhuaman, and of course Machu Picchu!

Consciousness of Light

There is a story of a long-foretold alignment of the Earth with the axis of the Milky Way galaxy announcing a new dawn. In Peru, descendants of the Inca call this time the Pachakuti, “the return of the light” after 500 years of darkness. Peru is said to be the “morning of the new sun” – the portal through which rays of the new light will begin to awaken humanity to a new consciousness.

This unique journey will also awaken your intimate relationship to a new consciousness, bringing more light and love to your life – both in and out of the bedroom.
“Each moment in which you are conscious of the sacred sexual energy that runs through your veins becomes one in which you experience the divine.”

• Let go of the old paradigms in your life that no longer serve you?
• Integrate the underworld of your psyche, middle kingdom of your life, and upper world of your divine consciousness?
• Celebrate the birth of a new world vision for 2012?
• Experience the powerful Mayan sacred sites of Palenque & Tonina?
• Connect with your instinctual Shamanic energies & totem animal spirit guides?

If so – join Toltec Shamans Fu-Ding Cheng and Linda Jacobson for a powerful spiritual journey to Chiapas, Mexico in the heart of the Mayan lands. Our journey is structured on the shamanic vision of the world of the Upper, Middle and Lower Kingdoms. Participants will have the opportunity to experience directly the power, healing and wisdom of each of these three worlds through specific Mayan sacred sites. Through ceremony, rituals, and shamanic exercises, these sites become portals allowing us to enter and tap into their power, for the purpose of healing, transformation, and self-empowerment.

This is especially timely with the advent of 2012, a most auspicious year of the Mayan calendar, and a time of major transformation not only for each of us personally, but also for society and the entire planet. We’ll feed our souls through the play of shamanic energy, the beauty of the architecture and symbology of the Mayan culture, and through the sublime beauty of nature as seen in the turquoise pools of Aqua Azul and the wild and lush jungles around us.

Highlights Of Your Adventure:

• Wonderful spiritual teachings, ceremonies, visualizations & meditations with Linda & Fu-Ding
• This power journey is structured on the shamanic vision of the world: The Lower, Middle and Upper Kingdoms
• Experience the energy at the Shamanic Church of San Juan Chamula (for the Middle Kingdom of Earth)
• Explore the Pyramid of Tonina and its powerful underworld mythology (for the Lower Kingdom)

• Through ceremony, birth the new consciousness of 2012 at the sacred site of Palenque (for the integration of all three Kingdoms)
• 2 nights in the charming colonial town of San Cristobal de Casas
• 3 nights at the Hotel Nututun on the river in Palenque

San Juan Chamula

One of the special highlights of this week will be a visit to San Juan Chamula. This town is home to an amazing church which the people took back from the clergy and converted to a place of traditional shamanism and prayer. The energy here is very powerful and we will participate in a prayer circle for healing, compassion and unconditional love for the time leading up to 2012.

“Many believe that the dawning Age of Light or Age of Consciousness defines itself in relation to our capacity for unconditional love, our ability to transcend enemy patterning and victim consciousness while adopting unity consciousness that sees divinity in all things. From this standpoint, it might be said humans are evolving into a ‘biologically conscious’ species capable of holding and sharing the full light of unconditional love.”

A Dream of Transcendence

Just as the ancient Toltecs did here at Teotihuacán, we too will practice the three masteries for personal freedom: Awareness, Transformation and Intent. You’ll have the opportunity to focus on the beauty within you, the light, the magic and all the possibilities you hold waiting to unfold! Your guides will open you to the energy here and share with you places that most tourist never get to see or experience. You’ll work with local healers, artisans, and curanderas.

The Dreaming House

This magical city is located approximately one hour northeast of Mexico City. We stay at the The Dreaming House, behind a gated wall in the village of San Sebastian Xolopan, adjacent to the ancient city of Teotihuacán. Within its spacious compound are a dozen rooms decorated with the art of Mexico’s past, both recent and distant. The rooms have modern conveniences, but no modern annoyances.

Be Part of our Warrior’s Party

The atmosphere is reminiscent of the home of don Juan’s warrior’s party, as described in the books of Carlos Castaneda. One expects time to stretch and space to bend. Miracles seem normal, and are. Meals in the spacious and gracious dining hall are miraculous in themselves, country Mexican food prepared with skill and love. It’s a magical place for a magical time. Join us for this adventure to one of the most energetically powerful places.
