The Kan Trecena (7th - 19th May 2026)
The Kan Trecena gives us new opportunities to learn, to discover new wisdom and to begin to empower ourselves and others.
If you would like to dive deeper into the sacred calendar, I will be running a workshop via Zoom from 10 am to 2 pm (Guatemala time, UTC -6) from Monday 1st - Friday 5th September 2025. There are currently spaces available. For more information, please go to https://thefourpillars.net/?page_id=1120 [https://thefourpillars.net/maya-calendar-workshop/]
For many years I have made readings of people's nawal to help them understand their lifepath, talents and challenges. I also make readings for partnerships and Tz'ite divinations on questions. If this is of interest to you, please click this link to book a reading or divination [https://thefourpillars.net/book-a-reading-or-consultation/]. Please note that I will be travelling for the next few weeks. I will open up some appointment slots when I have some time, so if you can't see any availability, please be sure to check back in a few days' time.
My 2026 calendar is now available. The calendar shows the days of the Chol Q'ij, formatted onto the Gregorian calendar. Currently it is available electronically as a PDF in both English and Spanish. See this link for details on how to get your pdf https://thefourpillars.net/2026-calendar/ [https://thefourpillars.net/2026-1-kej-wall-calendar-pdf/]
Printed versions, in English, are nearly gone. The last ones available locally in Guatemala in San Juan la Laguna at the candle shop of Nana Maria Feliciana, opposite Banrural, across from the flete parking. I still have one or two here at my home too.
For the more technically minded I have also created a plugin for Google Calendar. This enables you to track the days of the sacred calendar on your smartphone. In this way you can ensure that your activities are aligned to the most conducive energies! I have also added a description to every day, just click on the day name. It is available for purchase https://thefourpillars.net/google-calendar-plugin/ [https://thefourpillars.net/google-calendar-plugin/]
A wonderful, highly active project to bring water stability to families is Water4Life Global. Jenna MacEwan and her team have been making a difference to peoples' lives since 2018. They provide water filters to local families throughout Guatemala, thereby giving direct access to clean drinking water. Additionally, they are directly involved in action which helps to clean up the local sources of water. This is achieved through greywater treatment projects, reforestation and education.

In their words: "Our Mission is to offer safe, dignified and culturally appropriate health care to women in Guatemala by empowering indigenous midwives through education. We focus on revaluing the Mayan ancestral knowledge while integrating modern medical practices. With the creation of Holistic Clinic(s) & Birthing Center(s) as a meeting ground and model project. Our Vision is that every woman has access to humane, respected and safe birth care. The midwives and women are empowered to lead the creation of a thriving community where those who are most vulnerable have their needs met, and men support the women in creating this healthy and vibrant family and community structure."

I mention the Konojel program and their work in San Marcos la Laguna. They have turned from a basic, "let's make sure bellies are full" program to one of much more social development. You can check out their programs and donate here https://konojel.org/donate [https://konojel.org/donate]
Within the village of San Pablo la Laguna, there is an organisation doing great work. They are called ODIM and specialise in medical and educational services. However, during the pandemic restrictions, they helped feed many people, but this is in addition to their regular, long-term work there.
