2026 INTERNATIONAL SPRING EQUINOX GATHERING

in the Magical Pueblo of San Cristobal de Las Casas

 March 20 – 22, 2026

Join me and the Mexico Sisters of the Circle of the Ancient Sisterhood for our Internatiohal Spring Equinox Gathering!  It will be a joyous reunion, celebration, and a day of sharing teachings, ceremony, sacred songs and prayers.  The following two days after the equinox will includes local adventures to the surrounding indigenous communities, blessings from Mayan elders and of course, the best shopping in the colorful mercados and artisan markets of the maagical pueblo of San Cristobal!  I will take you to my favorite local cafes to enjoy the delicious regional cuisine of Chiapas!  I invite and welcome you to the sacred land of the Maya, and the place that I call home!  Mi casa es su casa!  Cynthia

 

All are welcome!  These ceremonies of honoring the changing of the cycles and the seasons of nature are one with honoring and acknowledging the changes in our own soul’s  growth on our journey through life.  It is learning how to let go and flow with what is present. Coming together in a sacred way is to participate in the creation process as we enter this new era of light, the dawning of the Sixth Sun! 
 
Over the years, many of you have expressed a desire to visit San Cristobal, and this is a wonderful opportunity to experience for yourself why it is known as the Pueblo Magico!  It is an enchanting and colorful village nestled in the greem mountains of Chiapas, with a Mexican heart and strong indigenous soul!  Our three days together will include plenty of time for exploring the town as well as the surrounding Mayan villages.  Our Spring Equinox celebration will be a full day of teachings and ceremony, sacred songs and celebration in our mountain sanctuary of Flor Y Canto!
