7777 – MANIPURA
:: directions and event details ::
This years gathering represents the Solar Plexus chakra, Manipura.
We wish to focus our intentions on the element of fire, strength, will, courage and passion represented by the color yellow
We are asking $100pesos / day / person which will include camping, washroom facilities, drinking water, more fresh fruit than you can eat and a vegetarian meal each evening prepared by Quetzalcoatl Restaurant. Please bring appropriate snacks for in between meals and try to bring your own plate, bowl, cup, utencils and biodegradable soap. Also consider the days are nice and warm, sometimes hot, but the nights are cold and crisp as we are at a relatively high elevation.
As for dogs, can't do it sorry... we love them dearly, but we have some wild dogs in the area which are protective towards the land, so we'd prefer to avoid any confrontations. If we allow any dogs, then out of fairness we'd have to allow them all, so again, sorry.
Arriving to Tulan
We will be hosting a general meeting point at Restaurant Quetzalcoatl in Tepic which is the state of Nayarit. (calle Leon #224 norte)
We are suggesting everyone arrive before mid-day on Sunday, January 20 if you wish to participate in the full program from the first day including the opening ceremony
Best to fly into Guadalajara or Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.
Both airports are 2 - 3 hours from Tepic by bus.
The gathering location is completely accessible by public transportation, feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We have chosen not to post actual directions to Tulan on the internet in order to protect the privacy and sacredness of this space.
This is a family style event and environment. …We welcome children. Please inform us if you are bringing any, because depending on how many we have in attendance, we may organize activities for our little wizards as well …please bring them!!
... Also keep in mind that your child's safety is absolutely your responsibility and we are in a jungle environment, so some of the creatures and terrain can be harmful and/or dangerous... This is for adults as well, to be very present, conscious and aware of your environment.
Most people will be camping. Understand there is no electricity on site so there is no electrical charging options or power available
... be sure to bring candles or flashlights (w/batteries) and whatever camping supplies you would normally need if you were camping for a week in a forest.
Your 100peso/day donation ultimately includes a contribution to elders for their transportation expenses, something towards local labor for grounds maintenance and site preparation, plus your vegetarian meal each evening.
You will not be able to find the property on your own, the meeting point is crucial because the road in is secluded and hard to find
... we will transport people up to the property from Tepic and the pueblo situated below Tulan ...
all the best ...please network... rideshare ....safe journey’s
... until we gather
