then there was the Mayan Ceremony. It was very insightful on how the indigenous people have their outlook on life. Some brief beliefs of theirs, which I think everyone should think to make this a better world: The basis of the relationship between man and nature is one of harmonious.
Visualiza que el equilibrio entre los elementos del cosmos hace posible la vida en general.
Existe una sola unidad entre Hombre y Naturaleza. En la naturaleza está presente el Creador y por eso hay un profundo respecto hacia ella.
The ceremony was given by two Mayan priests which the pictures can be found on facebook. I will be putting the website here for those that dont have facebook...
