Gathering with Grandfather Kachora

You and your family are invited to four days of ceremony beginning June 24, 2010. Come with a good heart, respectful attitude, and a desire to add your good energy to these four days of ceremony. Bring your drums and rattles. Wear regalia or ceremonial attire.
There is no cost to attend, but your donations will be gratefully accepted (and are needed to help with the costs of renting portable bathrooms, firewood, and so on).

A special note: if you are reiki practitioner, energy healer, bodyworker, nurse, doctor, etc., please consider bringing your massage table or other tools to provide a heart-centered service to the local community -- as is customary the dedicated ceremonial dancers are offered our services first. In years past, the local community has turned out early for limpias and other health services. This aspect is the hallmark of persons who follow the path with heart. You will leave with a wonderful glow in your heart knowing that you have made new friends and a difference in the lives of some of the residents of Tecate if only for a few days. There are lots of way to help....and it is deeply appreciated.

A todos nuestros amigos y aliados:

El Abuelo Cachora y Abuela Estefani, y los Ancianos de Tecate te invitan a ti y a tu familia a reunirsen con nuestra comunidad durante el equinoxio para cuatro días de ceremonia que empieza el jueves 24 de junio 2010.

Ellos desean especialmente extender una invitación para danzar a grupos de todas culturas, músicos y sanadores para venir y compartir sus regalos espirituales con la comunidad. Habra danza y temazcal durante los cuatro dias. Un agradecimiento especial a Chicahuac Ollin por siempre apoyandonos.

Los adultos y los niños son bienvenidos. Vengan con un corazón bueno, actitud respetuosa, y un deseo de agregar su energía positiva para ayudar a celebrar la renovación de la luz de primavera y la curación de Madre Tierra. Traiga traje ceremonial.

No hay costo para asistir, pero los donativos son necesitados para ayudar con los costos de rentar baño portátiles, la leña, etcétera.

Una nota especial: si eres es sanador de energía, enfermera, médico, sobador, etc., considera por favor traer tu mesa de masaje o otros instrumentos para proporcionar un servicio corazón-centrado a la comunidad de Tecate -- como es costumbre danzantes ceremoniales son ofrecidos nuestros servicios primero. En el pasado, residentes de TKT lllegan temprano para recibir limpias y otros servicios de curacion. Este aspecto es el sello de personas que siguen el sendero con corazón. Usted se llevara en el corazón una gran luz, sabiendo que ha hecho nuevos amigos y una diferencia en las vidas de algunos de los residentes de Tecate -- si solamente por unos cuantos días. ¡Hay muchas maneras de ayudar. ... le agradecemos de antemano!

Directions to Tecate, Baja California:
Tecate is located only 35 miles southeast of San Diego. From Yuma, AZ, take I-8 West to either the Campo 94 West (very winding road) exit or continue west on I-8 to Buckman Springs Exit, turn left and continue south, it turns onto Hwy. 94 West (you'll see signs to Potrero and Dulzura) to Tecate, CA. Then simply cross the border.

Once you cross the border you turn left (2nd light) when you see the Tecate Park ahead you'll be heading east, at the next light turn right, pass the McDonald's, cross the bridge (becomes Hwy 3) about 1/2 to 1 mile you should see the Restaurant El Cabo Mariscos Seafood, KM 97, Federal Hwy 3, on the left side of the road. There's a small dirt road that you almost miss if you are not looking for it. Turn in there then follow the turns indicated on the map, see link below. The road is a little rough but usually manageable by most cars - although SUVs have it easier. You'll see small signs and red ribbons along the way.
