Group Leaders:
Jose Luis Carrillo Ricalde (Oxkin) is the journey leader. Oxkin is a native of the Yucatan region, where he was born on November 4, 1953. According to the Mayan calendar, he was born under the sign of the serpent. Jose Luis has spent his life learning more about the wisdom of the ancient peoples of this region as well as working with various schools and traditions related to sacred light and transformation. He also interprets the Sacred Mayan Tzolkin calendar. Click on this short video of Oxkin discussing the meaning of 2012. Click here to see the English translation of the video.
Since 1998, Jose Luis and his wife Kettia have been organizing journeys to Mayan ceremonial centers in the Yucatan for the spring equinox, May 1st and for the Mayan New Year. Because of his expertise and deep connections with the zone, the groups that he leads have permission to conduct ceremonies at these sites – a privilege not widely given by Mexican authorities.
