Xochitli tomak mani Inkuik Chants Cenyotl - pay in full
You are invited to join us in our next Nahuatl Chants Cenyotl, a 12 week deep dive focusing on two chants this time:
Xochitli tomak mani Inkuik
a joyful & uplifting chant celebrating achievements and flowers.
This chant was chosen to align with the ofrendas for Tlaxochimako.
Every Tuesday
July 11 to Sept 226 (total of 12 sessions)
730pm CST
via zoom
This framework for the chants classes that we've been implementing is a great entry point for new students to join and get the background and context around the nahuatl cantos and understand how crucial they were and are to everything from daily life to rituals…
In fact there are many ancient rituals where there was no danza (what today is the preferred form of ofrendas) but there was ALWAYS wind offerings in the form of chants… that is how powerful this form of ofrenda is yet it continues to be largely overlooked by many…
So this course is for those of you who’ve wanted to learn beginners chants in nahuatl and who want to learn both their literal translations as well as metaphorical symbolism and who want to understand when and how different ancestral nahua chants can be used.
Each Cenyotl will focus on only 1 chant (however this time there are 2) at a time so that we can really embrace the meaning and essence of the chant.
Keep in mind that this isn't a theoretical or intellectual class, we will all be taking turns singing during class :) so students will be expected to sing with camera and microphone on along with their fellow students during the live classes. This class is therefore especially good for folks with musical backgrounds, for folks who enjoy offering up cantos as offerings, or who won't be too shy to sing live in the course.
Being present in class is strongly encouraged to help with pronunciation & rhythm
We will have a limited number of spaces available for this Cenyotl to create a safe container for sharing our voices so if you are interested in joining register as soon as possible.
These are chants to honor Ipalnemohua, (literally: that for which we live & because of or why we live) which is the concept of the core creative force of the Universe.
These two chants are lively & joyful ways to express deep philosophical concepts about how Ipalnemohua expresses itself & how it manifests through us. Both of these chants also reverentially highlight gratitude, on eof the 4 Principles of the Mazehual.
We invite you to join us in these special Cenotl where not 1 but 2 chants will be covered to prepare us for our offerings for the Toltekatl Xiuhpohualli Shift of Year on March 11th!
Every Tuesday
