Mexican Prehispanic Experience
Join us in welcoming Claudio back to Union, this time with his brand new project called Xochipilli´s Eye. Xochipilli (Pronounced zo-chee-pee-lee) is the Mexican god of music, flowers, arts, and sacred plants.
​
Claudio´s last trip home was full of inspiration and reconnection to his ancestral roots. He was fortunate to meet a prehispanic musician and instrument maker who plays and crafts beautiful traditional instruments. Claudio returned to NZ with many special new instruments; and continues to be inspired and guided by the cultural wealth, wisdom, and knowledge of the ancient cultures of the Americas.
​
The Event will be extraordinary and unique. You will learn about Mexican prehispanic cosmology and spirituality. Experience simple and powerful rituals together with unique musical instruments used by Olmecs, Toltecs, Aztecs, and Mayans.
The instruments include clay flutes, clay drums, medicine drums, ocarinas, wooden flutes, shells, and shakers.
We will be sharing Cacao a traditional Mexican Prehispanic drink to open the heart, reconnect with the earth element and ignite your fire.
​
On the schedule:
Cleansing copal and herbal welcoming.
Talk about the use of music in the ancient times.
An opening ceremony to acknowledge the Tlalmanalli (offering and altar) with the deep sound of the conch shell in the four directions.
Cacao drink as a connection with the earth, to yourself, and the moment.
Music ranging from contemplative natural and mystical environments to uplifting and empowering rhythms.
We will finish with a shamanic atmosphere relaxation and close the event with a traditional chant.
