A recapitulation event
The Cycles of Our Lives Through the Tonalpowalli
A 3 days / 4 nights workshop at Cayla
For ancient cultures, time was not seen as a straight line moving from past to future. Time was alive — moving in cycles, in spirals, in great revolutions.
The peoples of ancient Mexico developed a sacred calendar of signs to follow the movement of energy throughout human life. Rooted in the fundamental structure of the universe and intimately connected to the human experience, this calendar became a key for understanding themselves, time, and the cosmos.
Through the Tonalpohualli, they sought to understand the deeper meaning of past events, gain clarity about the forces shaping the present, and perceive the cycles that were emerging in the future.
During this workshop, we will explore the different cycles of our lives through the lens of the Tonalpohualli.
Together, through a series of movements inspired by the Toltec tradition, we will trace the cycles that have shaped our lives since the day we were born on this planet.
Through the symbols of the Tonalpohualli, we will begin to recognize the deeper meaning and pattern behind the experiences we have lived, allowing the different moments of our lives to reveal themselves as part of a greater tapestry.
Through the practice of recapitulation, we will release what no longer belongs to our present orbit.
We will also bring clarity to the cycle we are currently living, while looking ahead toward the cycles yet to come, so that the next turn of our spiral may unfold with greater awareness, alignment, and intention.
