Fires of the Ancestors: Exploring the Mayan Calendar
@ Elgin Community College
1700 Spartan Dr. Elgin, IL 60123
Opening Wednesday, October 23rd, from 11AM - 12:15PM
Elgin Community College- Parking Lot A (Outside)
Join Nana Shuni Girón and The Great Listening, facilitated by Hallie Sanclemente Morrison, in community around the sacred fire, just like in ancient times.
“Calling all the Elders to Reunite,” international Mayan Ajq’iij and Day Keeper Nana Shuni Giron returns to Chicago to share a message of unity, peace, and love with a fire offering ceremony.
Our intention with this sacred fire ceremony is to provide a culturally inspirational and educational experience for the Elgin community that highlights the indigeneity and ancient wisdom of those descended from Central America to stand in solidarity with all Native and Indigenous Peoples, and celebrate exploring indigeneity as a way of re-connecting to Earth, our ancestors, and our intercultural communities.
Feel free to bring your chair, your rattle and drum, and anything you would like to share at the ceremony.
You may also bring your own offerings such as tobacco, flowers, incense, pine cones, herbs, candles, honey, and any object you would like to be blessed at the ceremony.
The ceremony is open to everyone, and we invite you with an open heart to join us in this gathering around the fire.
