This year, and every year to 2012, we are celebrating the Winter Solstice with a more inclusive format through Festival Unificacion Maya. This event is open to all and is being presented as a community event by our village of El Remate, Guatemala. Throughout the week of December 15th to 21st you will be able to:

1. Participate in daily Sacred Mayan Fire Ceremonies on the shores of lake Peten Itza with Tata Pedro Cruz ... includes information about the symbology behind the elements that make up this most ancient and powerful of rituals.

2. Bring in the Mayan New Year (December 19th) by participating in the sacred ceremonies performed by a large group of Mayan Sacerdotes from all over Guatemala.

3. Learn about the Maya through classes in Mayan Calendar, Mayan Medicine, Mayan Symbology, Mayan Archeology and more.

4. Visit the Mayan cities with knowledgeable guides.

5. Celebrate nightly amongst the pyramids of Ixlu in "Musical Campfire Circles" and attend the Gala Night and Tikal Extravanganza in the same magical location.

6. And on the Winter Solstice join the Procession of Light through the Mayan Ceremonial city of Tikal as we make our way to the Central Plaza for the Sacred Mayan Fire Ceremony.
