Guided 9 Month Preparation for the Nine Fires
An important part of the Nine Fires Journey is a 9-month preparation process before the ceremonial retreat. This includes:
Oracle Reading with Tat Erick
The first step towards making a commitment to the Nine Fires Journey is having a session with oracle/divination with Tat Erick (either in person or through zoom), to consult with the spirit guides to make sure this is the right time for you to undergo this level of healing. If you have not already had a session within the last 6 months then you can contact Heddi at HeddiL@gmail.com to schedule.
Live Zoom Circles
During 9 months of preparation, we will connect once or twice a month on live zooms with Tat Erick to share guidance, teachings, and answer questions, and/or the support guides to talk more about logistical preparations and also answer questions from the group.
Through the preparations, you also create a community of those who will be walking this journey together, thus acknowledging a commitment to each other’s wellbeing in this process and beyond.
Teachings
It is required that each participant in the Nine Fires circle take the following courses if they have not already.
The Pipe as a Soul Companion (zoom recording) - The pipe is our personal fireplace and home to our fire, our connection with Grandfather Sun and all the cosmic fires. It is our sacred place of prayer and activation, a spiritual ally to be cherished and honored. In these teachings Tat Erick offered us his wisdom and guidance on how to keep a personal pipe in his oral traditional teachings, focused on how to carry and work with a pipe with integrity and respect so that we may be ready to walk with it and receive the guidance and spiritual instruction that comes through our journey with it.

Journey Through the Sacred CholQ’ij - Mayan Daylords Class
In this 9-part recorded zoom series, Tat Erick will be shares in-depth teachings on each of the 20 Mayan Daylords and the 13 vibrations that accompany them within the calendar. Together they make the 260 day cycle of the Chol Q'ij, composed of 13 day weeks that guide us through an evolutionary journey. The Sacred Chol Q'ij is an ancient Native time-keeping wisdom that guides and influences the destiny of all life upon our physical and spiritual dimensions. It is used as a guide in our lives for ceremonies, healing, divination, and harmonizing our inner and outer landscapes. It expands our understanding of our part within the biorhythms of the universe and can source us each day that we live. And through it, one can become aware of his/her Nahuales (the spiritual forces inherent to each of us) and how to live more consciously with them as allies. These Nahuales guide, protect, and influence a person’s life from their day of conception.
