About this Retreat
Founder of Mystical Nature Journeys, Author of Why The Sunflower Smiles, Spiritual Guide, And Pilgrimage Leader. For over 14 years, Kristina has run a sacred travel company leading others on pilgrimages to connect with nature and ancient indigenous wisdom including journeys to Egypt, Bhutan, Peru, Ireland, and beyond. Learn More About Kristina here.
Miguel Angel is a Maya Priest and Master Teacher who lives and works in Yucatán, Mexico. He studied with Maya Elder Vicente Martín for 17 years and continues to work with the Elders and Priests who are keeping the Maya Sacred Wisdom very much alive today.
He teaches us how to connect with the Maya Masters of Light who are still at the sacred sites ready to guide us today as in ancient times. Going to the source of the Maya knowledge: to the ceremonies, rituals, mantras, sacred books, pyramids, temples, stele, pottery, paintings, sculptures, and oral traditions that are available today, he finds the essence of their knowledge and then teaches it in a heart centered style that connects rapidly and profoundly with his students.
