SEGUNDO ENCUENTRO DE SACERDOTES Y MÉDICOS MAYAS
Se realizará en Cantamayec, Yucatán, del 26 al 28 de septiembre de 2008, con la participación de 60 Sacerdotes y Médicos Tradicionales Mayas (Aj Men, J-Men) de todo el Mayab. Este Encuentro tiene como propósito el crear un dialogo entre los Aj Men y las Ix Men participantes, en el que puedan comunicarse e intercambiar sus conocimientos, prácticas y rituales; de este modo, se fortalezca y vitalice la integración genuina de sus conocimientos, para que sigan cumpliendo con la valiosa función de preservar, difundir y practicar la Cosmovisión, Espiritualidad y Medicina Mayas.
Hoy en día, la edad de la mayoría de los Aj Men y las Ix Men oscila entre los 50 y 70 años, lo cual significa que en unos 30 años mas, estos hombres y mujeres (Ix Men) ilustres serán solo recuerdo histórico de no difundir esta tradicional actividad tan noble entre los Mayas. La primordial razón por la que este oficio de servicio comunitario se esta abandonando entre los jovenes Mayas es que esta noble actividad genera muy pocos ingresos para quien la practica. Sin embargo, los actuales Aj Men y Ix Men estan promoviendo entre los jovenes el salvo-guardar sus tradiciones misticas y espirituales para mantener esta importante actividad cultural entre los Mayas.
Al finalizar este Segundo Encuentro Holístico el domingo 28, 2008; todas las actividades estarán abiertas al público en general, y serán las siguientes:
1) 6:00 AM a 7:00 AM - Ceremonia Maya llamada U ts'aak Mejen paalal
2) 9:00 AM a 12:00 M - Consultas al público en general, limpias, oraciones o asesoría espiritual; la cuota es voluntaria y se le entrega directamente al Aj Men, Ix Men.
3) 9:00 AM a 12:00 M - Taller de Sonidos Sagrados Ancestrales, impartido por el Ing. Manuel Rosado Sarmiento, entrada gratuita, abierta a todo público. Favor de llevar un tapete para recostarte en el suelo, y se puede llevar alguno de estos instrumentos: Tambor, tunkul, caracol, tunjá y/o sonaja. Este taller es vivencial, y su propósito es que conozcas las propiedades de cada uno de estos sonidos y el efecto que tienen en el organismo, mente y espíritu humanos.
4) 12:30 PM - Clausura y Ceremonia Maya de U Máank’inalij K’aam Nikte’ ,
Pueblo de Cantamayec, Yucatan, Mexico.

An Important Ancient Mayan City has been found in Yucatan, Mexico
Today, this unique archaeological site's many steles, ceramics, sculptures and temples are exposed to fraudulent activities due to lack of proper safe measures from INAH officials. The site has many fabulous carved stones and sculptures that indicate it was a major commercial metropolis to the ancient Maya.
Zona Arqueológica de gran importancia ha sido descubierta en Yucatán
Ambos arqueólogos lamentan que a pesar de la evidente importancia de este hallazgo, el INAH aun no ha destinado recursos para la protección de esta zona arqueológica maya, ni ha puesto custodios para salvaguardar estos vestigios mayas abiertamente expuestos a posibles saqueos.
