An indigenous ceremony in celebration of the winter solstice takes place on Saturday, December 16, starting at 10 a.m. at the open-air forum on the eastern leg of the Chapala Malecón.
The event will revolve around an ancestral ritual and offerings to Mother Nature to rejoice in life, rebirth and a new era of love, health, happiness and abundance. It will be led by Guadalajara’s Casa Lahak 1000 Tambores drum tribe and Mezcala village elder Exiquio Santiago Cruz.
Those who attend are advised to bring drinking water, seeds and flowers for the offering, and drums, rattles or other instruments to join in the ritual noise-making.
