The Trecena of Kan gives us new opportunities to learn, to discover new wisdom and to begin to empower ourselves and others. The link to the trecena video is at the bottom of the page.
In the video I make two suggestions for organisations you may wish to donate to. Here are the links:
ODIM: Within the village of San Pablo la Laguna, there is an organisation doing great work, specialising in medical and educational services. 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 https://tinyurl.com/yb4l3rux
To donate to the Elders of Peten to fund the Popol Jay, please use this link https://urlis.net/3mpy4
Popol Jay is an ancient name to define the House of the Council of Elders, among the Maya of Guatemala. These were places of wisdom where sacred knowledge about medicine, the calendars, music, spiritual practice and more was kept and passed to future generations. All were burnt down during the Conquest and subsequent Colonization periods. Today, the Q’eqchi’ Maya Council of Elders Releb’aal Saq’e has joined forces with many supporters to rebuild the Popol Jay of the North, in the lowlands of the Petén region, heart of the Maya culture of the Classic Period. The Elders have worked hard to acquire land and co-design this Center of Knowledge to share ancient wisdom with the World. You can read more about the Council and the Popol Jay in this link: https://www.popoljay.org.gt. Please watch our movie for a deeper understanding of the importance of preserving sacred medicinal plant and their inherent ancestral knowledge: https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=qyWmxDRJYbA&feature=emb_logo.
The total cost of this project reaches close to 500,000 USD as you can see in the link, but we are asking for your help to begin the first section through your kind donations to reach a first sum of 50,000 CHF.
No matter the size of your donation, the Elders wish to give back a gift of wisdom never shared before. With your donation, you will receive a PDF copy of the unique book about Maya Medicine in Guatemala (see table of content http://cirma.org.gt/library/images/f/f9/51593.pdf ). Currently available only in Spanish, we are working hard to develop an English version.
Please help us recreate this special place of Wisdom for Earth, hoping one day you will stand next to us to make the dream of Green Health for All, entirely possible.
