BTGD Workshop, 2002

Beyond The Global Divide Natural Time Intensive, Palenque, Mexico ~ June 20 – 25, 2006 & Healing the Healers Intensive, Big Island Hawai’i ~ November 1-5, 2006
http://www.sacredsites.com/americas/mexico/palenque.html

The Beyond The Global Divide (BGD) intensive retreats will each be attended by approximately 13 to 20 global peace ambassadors, in addition to traditional indigenous elders and young leaders from the respective lands. Both intensives are scheduled to coincide with the arrival of the Trail of Dreams World Peace Walk. For attendees, these intensives are designed to expand awareness through dialogue and experience, to fortify inner-spiritual strength and presence of peace, to create an opportunity to serve local communities, to document the wisdom teachings and stories of the elders, and to prepare the way for larger BGD gatherings in Aswan, Egypt (2007) and New York City (2009), that also coincide with the World Peace Walk. The first retreat, in Palenque, Mexico (June 20 – June 25, 2006), will focus on natural time, a term used to identify the ancient Mayan time science and its correlating prophecies, related to the contemporary 13 Moon Dreamspell Calendar (www.lawoftime.org) as well as the Mayan True Time Long Count, kept by traditional Mayan Day Keepers (www.sacredroad.org) for thousands of years.
