Life Way - One Day Seasonal Gatherings For the complete group experience, we suggest the equinoxes and solstice gatherings. Education, chanting, drumming, and healing moments are like the various notes of a good symphony. You listen to each individual instrument alone, and sometimes that's just what you want. But when you want the complete philharmonic experience, it's more satisfying to have an energy build... rattles, drums, voices, and dance. We've made it easy for you. Listed below are the Cyclic Seasonal Ceremonies we offer throughout the year. They range from 6 hours to over night 12 hours. These offerings feature an entire day with Maria Yraceburu and special Yraceburu Family members and special guests. Lasting approximately seven (7) hours with multiple stretch breaks and one meal break, this Dancing and Drumming, Journey Vision, and discussions enhance the Offerings. Each program is unique to the season and the timing of Earth. Programs align with Seasonal Changes, ie: Winter Solstice, Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, and Fall Equinox. Re-enactment of Mythological Legend, and teachings of ancient wisdom. Sponsored by Regional Community Circles, prearrangement with YEW Office. |

Death Rites and releasing the soul to move forward. Death, in the Quero Apache Tlish Diyan tradition is a vital part of the flow of life. In today's society, too many have been taught to ignore the inevitability of death, compartmentalizing it in an effort to remove it from thought and emotion. This ritual eases the transition of the person crossing, celebrating their life, and allowing friends and family grieving to legitimaize feelings through a process of feeling, talking, understanding and releasing. click here for those that conduct this ceremony.

| After we have
participated in a Rite of Passage, the energy is transferred into our
own bodies. The prayers and energy which adhere, are carried over to that part of our lives that symbolically corresponds or harmonizes with the spirit of the passage. -- Ten Bears, Quero Apache Holyman |
