Walking Saced Time
a journey with the mayan cholq'ij
23 October - 21 December 2026
9 live gatherings - Companion manual
The Sacred Rhythm of Time
The Cholq’ij is a sacred measure of 260 days, woven through the relationship between Earth, Cosmos and human life.
This is an invitation to spend time with the 20 Nawales and the sacred numbers of the Cholq’ij - not only to learn about them, but to develop a living relationship with sacred time.
Over these weeks, we will walk together through the Mayan Cross, the Nawales and the 13 sacred numbers, meeting the calendar through teaching, reflection, ceremony and our own experience.
This is a journey of study and relationship, held online over nine gatherings.
What We Will Explore
Together we will begin to understand the foundations of the Cholq’ij and gradually become more familiar with the energies of the Nawales.
We Will Explore:
The Cholq’ij and its 260-day cycle
Earth, Cosmos and Human Life - How the Cholq’ij can become something we experience and walk with, rather than simply information we learn
The Sacred Numbers 1-13
Their meaning and place within the calender
The 20 Nawales
Their teaching and energies
The Mayan Cross
It's relationship to the calendar and your own path
Observing, Connecting, reflecting
Ways of observing and connecting with the energies of the day
Reflection on how these teachings meet our own lives and ceremonial practice
There will be space for questions, sharing and personal reflection as we move through the journey together.
Come as you are. The wisdom is already within you.This is the sacred remembering of your body’s original rhythm — and the heartbeat of the Earth within your core.

A Companion Manual
add some text here shdfshdgkjhsdgkjhsdghsjhhsgjhsj
You will receive a companion manual to accompany our time together.
This supporting manual is offered as a companion throughout your journey with Sacred Time and the Mayan Cross of each nowale. It is a resource to return to as you deepen your relationship with the Cholq’ij, offering guidance and teachings to accompany you along the way.
It will include:
-
An introduction to the Cholq’ij
-
The 20 Nawales
-
The 13 sacred numbers
-
A page dedicated to each Nawal
-
The Mayan Cross
The companion manual will give us a foundation for the live gatherings while leaving space for your own relationship with the calendar to unfold.
This is not just bodywork — it is ceremonial healing, woven with presence, intention, prayer, and ancestral guidance. The session is guided by intuition, traditional knowledge, and the unique needs of your body and spirit.
It’s a journey inward. A reconnection to your sacred center.
A remembering of the wisdom that has always lived within your belly.
Who Is This For?
This journey is open to those who are newly approaching the walk with the Sacred time - Cholq’ij, as well as those who have already begun walking with the Nawales and would like to deepen their relationship.
You may feel called to this journey if you:
-
are curious about Mayan cosmology and sacred time
-
Looking for the guidance on your path
-
already work with the Nawales and want to understand them more deeply
-
have joined one of fire ceremonies or other offerings and feel called to learn more
-
are considering a deeper journey such as Xibalba Passage, Retreat or Mayan Abdominal training in Guatemala or UK 2027
-
simply feel that it is time to become more familiar with your Sacred path, the energies we connect and their manifestation in everyday life.
You do not need to already have a deep knowledge of the calendar.
Come as you are, with curiosity, humble heart and respect.

An invitation to walk together
The Cholq’ij is something that can be studied, but for me it is also something that is lived.
The more time we spend with the Nawales, the numbers and the rhythm of sacred time, the more we may begin to notice how these teachings meet us in our everyday lives.
I would be very happy to walk this part of the path together.
If you feel the call to join, you are warmly welcome.
