The Four Pillars (Maya Calendar Wisdom)
by Mark Elmy
Hi, I'm Mark. I have been studying the Maya Calendars for the past 28 years and live in the highlands of Guatemala. The main question I want to explore is "how can we use the Maya sacred calendar to live a richer, more harmonious and more fulfilling life?" I love to share what I have understood from my investigations and personal practices with the sacred calendar. I have been writing a blog about the energies of the calendar for the past 10 years and now I want to make the information more accessible.
