ABOUT PALENQUE 2012

Palenque 2012 is an invitation, not an organization.

We have put an idea in motion and invited people to join us.
We selected a location and a date- the rest is up to you. It’s an experiment in self organizing celebration
We expect a hundred people will show up- maybe two. People are registering every day.

There will be performances, workshops, talks, rituals, music, dance, and storytelling, happening all day every day, but don’t expect to sit back and be entertained. We are coming together on equal footing, and your contribution is vital. Soon we will send out more information about the different ways you can participate. If you want to perform, teach, talk, guide, or lead then there will be an opportunity for that to happen.

Palenque 2012 Vision Meeting

Posted by Gravity On November - 13 - 2011

Tuesday, November 15th | 7-9pm

Join Scott & Polly on NOVEMBER 15th at MISSION CONTROL from 7-9pm for a VISION MEETING.  Hear the vision from Polly and Scott’s perspective, and tell us what you want to see happen at the festival. Come, meet your fellow adventurers!

This will be a chance to get together, hear the story behind this event, share your ideas and start to collaborate!

 

What is Palenque?:

Deep in the jungles of southern Mexico, embedded in cryptic carvings on the tomb of a great king, there lies a prophetic message: On Spring Equinox 2012 the stars will align to signify the birth of a new Creation, the end of one Great Round and the dawn of a new era.

From March 18th- 25th 2012 people from all over the world with gather in a pristine rainforest location close to the entrance of the ruins of Palenque in Chiapas, Mexico. With reverence and respect to the Mayan people and their land, we will explore the mysteries of this prophecy, and celebrate the potential of what it could mean. This is your chance to be part of history, standing on the Great Temples of Palenque in 2012 celebrating art, history, mysticism, cross cultural community, and global apotheosis.

Unlike a traditional festival, this will be an exploration we embark on together, as an experiment in self organizing celebration. There will be performances, workshops, talks, rituals, music, dance, and storytelling, happening all day every day all over the site, but don’t expect to sit back and be entertained. We are coming together on equal footing, and your contribution is vital. Soon we will send out more information about the different ways you can participate. If you want to perform, teach, talk, guide, or lead then there will be an opportunity for that to happen.

Just a few of the things which are lining up:
- Learn to explore, understand and write Mayan glyphs and math
- Experience sound rituals and performances
- Craft mythic personas to explore together
- Campfire storytelling with local guides
- Learn about the classic Maya period with local archaeologists
- Take a jungle hike the forgotten temple ‘Ovidado’
- Explore Sacred Theater and embodying archetypes
- Learn about the Maya skies with astro-archaeologists
