The Ajmak trecena brings an opportunity to forgive, to turn over a new leaf and embrace the sweetness of being human, leading to the ultimate reward of 13 Q’anil – maturity of spirit! It could be a good time for a 13 day forgiveness practice.
Urgent Support Needed
Many of you may know Nana Maria Feliciana Ujpan, an Aj Q’ij from San Juan La Laguna. Nana Fely has been a friend of mine for many years. She has a huge, loving heart, and a fierce spirit! Since I have known her she has always had arthritis, but lately it has become a lot worse. She has been admitted to hospital and received the first of two hip replacements. I am sharing this Go Fund Me, which was instigated by Doris Kizinna, together with Blake Sherlock, to help with her medical expenses. Please consider showing your unconditional love and helping in whatever way you can.

The El Mirador Trek 2027
On this day of community journeys I have decided to release the details of my El Mirador trek next year. As many of you know, I have made the El Mirador Trek 8 times now, taking a small group with me each time. In 2026 I made two journeys which were very much retreat type journeys. In 2027 my focus will be more on exploration and adventure as I extend the time trekking in the jungle from 6 days to 10 days, and the distance to 150km. Of course, there will always be ceremony involved, but next year’s trek will take us deeper into the jungle to the remote sites of La Muralla and Naachtun.
If you’re ready for the adventure of a lifetime, please check out the details here!
Readings and Divinations
For many years I have made readings of people’s nawal to help them understand their lifepath, talents and challenges. I also make readings for partnerships and Tz’ite seed divinations on questions. If this is of interest to you, please click this link to book a reading or divination.
Calendar Workshop
If you would like to dive deeper into the sacred calendar, I will be running a workshop via Zoom from 11 am to 3 pm (Guatemala time, UTC -6) from Monday 7th – Friday 11th September 2026. For more information, please go to https://thefourpillars.net/?page_id=1120
Google Calendar Plugin
For the more technically minded I have also created a plugin for Google Calendar. This enables you to track the days of the sacred calendar on your smartphone. In this way you can ensure that your activities are aligned to the most conducive energies! I have also added a description to every day, just click on the day name. It is available for purchase https://thefourpillars.net/google-calendar-plugin/
Great Programs to Support!
When I mention programs within my videos, it is because I know the people involved and can vouch that your donations will go towards helping the people for which they are intended.
Water4Life Global – Bringing Water Stability to Families
A wonderful, highly active project to bring water stability to families is Water4Life Global. Jenna MacEwan and her team have been making a difference to peoples’ lives since 2018. They provide water filters to local families throughout Guatemala, thereby giving direct access to clean drinking water. Additionally, they are directly involved in action which helps to clean up the local sources of water. This is achieved through greywater treatment projects, reforestation and education. To learn more or donate, please visit: https://water4lifeglobal.org/donate/
The Midwife Project
In their words: “Our Mission is to offer safe, dignified and culturally appropriate health care to women in Guatemala by empowering indigenous midwives through education. We focus on revaluing the Mayan ancestral knowledge while integrating modern medical practices. With the creation of Holistic Clinic(s) & Birthing Center(s) as a meeting ground and model project. Our Vision is that every woman has access to humane, respected and safe birth care. The midwives and women are empowered to lead the creation of a thriving community where those who are most vulnerable have their needs met, and men support the women in creating this healthy and vibrant family and community structure.”

Konojel
I mention the Konojel program and their work in San Marcos la Laguna. They have turned from a basic, “let’s make sure bellies are full” program to one of much more social development. You can check out their programs and donate here https://konojel.org/donate
ODIM
Within the village of San Pablo la Laguna, there is an organisation doing great work. They are called ODIM and specialise in medical and educational services. However, during the pandemic restrictions, they helped feed many people, but this is in addition to their regular, long-term work there. You can find out more about them through this link http://www.odimguatemala.org/donate
