HUNBATZ MEN: BIOGRAPHY
For many years Hunbatz Men has been devoted to revive the wisdom and culture of the ancient Mayas. He is an authentic Maya, born in Wenkal, Yucatan, Mexico, and was raised to be a shaman, a holy man, since the age of one. He is a respected ceremonial leader as well as a Mayan Daykeeper- an authority on History, Chronology, Calendars and Cosmic Knowledge in Mayan civilization. He authored the book Secrets of Mayan Science/Religion and some other books putting the Mayan cosmology and philosophy in a twentieth century perspective. He is founder of all the Mayan Mysteries Schools of the world and has started re-consecrating the sacred sites of the Mayan culture throughout Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Belize.
His native language is Maya Itza, a language that is mantric, onomatopoeic and reversible, i.e., the intonation of each word invokes the sacred aspect of life it describes, each word sounds like what it describes and each word can be reversed resulting in another word that deepens one's understanding of the original word.
Hunbatz Men has widely lectured throughout North and South America and Europe. His lectures include topics like: Mayan mathematics, astrology, and philosophy; the letters "T", "O", and "G: as the origin of humanity; Mayan sexual education, social organization, and ceremonial centers; Kundalini Maya; sacred symbols of Tamuanchan; the 1992 Sun Walk from Alaska to Mexico City; new commercial ventures that will be available to Native Americans and other minorities in the United States; and the importance of communicating the Native American thought and its dissemination throughout the world.
When Hunbatz presents a lecture he carefully ties a hand woven band around his head, and he asks permission from the Creator to help him understand everything, especially the high knowledge and our connection with the Earth, Time spent with Hunbatz Men is a unique blend of sacred and experiential ceremony liberally sprinkled with Mayan chants, prophecies, cosmic and solar wisdom, and language lessons.
