The trail continues, leading us on
For all we can see…

Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime sacred journey into the heart of Apachería.  The San Francisco Peaks, known as the location of the West Gate, is one of the world's most energetically rich and enviromentally transitional terrains.  Nestled within these mountains, Flagstaff, the Yracébûrû family has made offerings at Power Places, Sacred Sites – for over 13 generations, making this an extra-ordinary road-trip for those seeking a more meaningful and powerful relationship with Earth.
This 6-day spiritual journey weaves together sacred sites, tlish diyan rituals, and embodies empowerment practices – lead by the transformational team of Maria & Linda Yracébûrû, Jason Tucker, and LeahRose Monterra.

This intimate, peace-filled journey includes a train-ride to visit the Grand Canyon.  Operating as the spokes on the Medicine Wheel – with our sanctuary in Flagstaff – we'll journey daily to sacred places and ruins in the fashion of the Spoke Dance for unforgettable experiences.   Each day is carefully curated to engage body, mind, and spirit, while growing a deep and healthy relationship with the spirit of Earth Mother and you'll be Walking Forward through daily traditional EarthWisdom practices like Making Relations (no experience needed).
With Yracébûrû EarthWisdom, you get to travel in an open and relaxed state, knowing that you are taken care of!  Everything except your transport to Flagstaff is handled, plus you are surrounded by loving, like-minded travels as you experience all that is The Way of Walking Forward has to offer.

Summery of Itinerary

DAY 1: MAY 27, 2026 – ARRIVE IN FLAGSTAFF
Arrive in Flagstaff, Arizona and make your way to the Pony Soilder Inn.  Tonight we fully soak in the vibrant Mountain Spirits before we begin our journey around the Sacred Sites of the Medicine Wheel.  We'll come together with a beautiful Welcome Dinner, gathering for the first rite of Making Relations, sharing intentions and excitement as we prepare to journey through the mystical way of Earth.
DAY 2: MAY 28 2026 - A JOURNEY TO
           THE SPRING IN THE SHADOW
Kisiwu, home to prehistoric people since 11,000 CE.  The Montezuma Well is a lush, fertile well steeped in history, beauty and profound Ancestral presence.  This sacred place of water, is a tranquil site – where mythology holds deep significance, as the story of our work brings spiritual connection the the Ancestors.
Our time at kisiwu begins with a memorable moment sitting on the rim of the well to look upon hidden ruins and speak to the Ancient Ones.  Built by the Sinagua, these cliff dwellings were home to the Water Guardians – those who maintained the physical and spiritual health of this extraordinary land feature.  As we descend the swallet trail, the shaded forest invites reflection and connection to the sacred elements of earth, air, and water.  Upon saturating ourselves with energy, we'll head into Sedona for some lunch and discussion of fluctuation energies of the Transitional Magnetic Grid.

After lunch, we'll continue to Oak Creek Canyon, often referred to as the "Little Grand Canyon."  The stream along the canyon floor is one of the few perennial streams in the area.  A 30-mile fault line emits energetic sensations, richly revealing petroglyphs, cliff dwellings and the Little Ones, as we step into a living embodiment of landscape spirit.

As we create our Earth Bundle, you'll feel the deep sense of peace and timelessness that permeates this place, a profound reminder of Earth Mother's unwaivering commitment to relationship between us.
DAY 3: MAY 29, 2026 – SITTING AT
              THE CRACK IN THE UNIVERSE
Today we journey north setting the Blue Road of Spirit and step into the fields of lava: like a dream we reconnect to Hawaii and Goddess Pele, a second fabrication of the Rainbow Bridge that supports the opening of the planet's West Gate.  As one of the most recent lava flows on the continent, we remember one shaman a thousand years ago and radiate an atmosphere of profound clarity, timeless knowing and mysterious beauty.
For the Hopi, the San Francisco Peaks constitute ritually pure sacred space.  dzil tso is a powerful mountain and we return to these sites to enrich our personal understanding.  We gathered here in the 1100s, 100 years after the eruption of Sunset Crater, to remember and care, ensuring the vital connection remains strong.

Lomaki Ruins & Fracture invite us into an ancient and living legacy of Portal Guardianship.  Many times we have come to sit on the rim of the "Crack in the Universe," as we gaze through time reverently, in silence and offering our earth bundle.  Each act is believed to bring blessings from the Guardians still walking these ruins, bringing many spiritual revelations as we walk across the threshold of the House of Beauty, we magnify our connection.

Wupatki holds deep connection to the great spiritual relationship that we have nurtured today.  It is said that when Mother Earth blows you kisses a shedding of pain is known as the truth of her love becomes our waking reality.  Further more, the geological feature speaks to personal medicine power and spiritual strength.  The Home of Mother's Breath offers an immersion into the rhythms of nature, spirit and tradition.
DAY 4: MAY 30, 2026 - GRAND CANYON
             JOURNEY INTO VASTNESS
After an early breakfast, we drive over to the Grand Canyon – enjoying the scenery, stopping here and there for ritual – it's an encounter with the very soul of the land.
This leg of our journey approaches two separate truths of DUALITY, where archeology and nature prove prophecy and myth – a reflection of Mother Earth's deep commitment to teach us through EarthWisdom, bringing us to stand in compassion, and a positive vision of the future.  Our previous prayers, rituals, and daily discussions have paved our way with blessings, helping us to maintain spiritual integrity and connection to the spirit of the land.

We land where shima will take us.  For centuries Yavapai and Apache families traveled to the Grand Canyon in summer and fall when pinyon nuts were abundant.  From here the Ant People studied the ancient wisdom of the stars and delicate energies of life.  Between worlds they escorted us into underground caverns for protection.  "Then the Sky God  got back into his moving star and flew off!" (Hopi Elder)

We're gonna talk ETs, the Lost City, and the spiritual migrations that activate life.  Somewhere in here, we have a box lunch.

We take time to stop by Hopi House before debarking, to discover history and shop, supporting local artisans.
DAY 5: MAY 31, 2026 -
            AS ABOVE, SO BELOW
Today, we head to Walnut Canyon.  We will break up our morning hike with ritual experiences and educational discussions.  We view pueblo and cliff-style ruins that were inhabited from 1125-1250.  The canyon is very diverse, with more than 387 different plant species, including the Arizona Black Walnut, used to make dye for weavings.
Returning to Flagstaff for some light lunch, you'll then have the afternoon to rest and meander, cause after we meet for dinner, we're headed to the Lowell Observatory!  We will experience a guided journey through the cosmos, the best the sky has to offer – planets, star clusters, nebular, galaxies and more… perhaps even a relative or two.

In group we will talk about Pleiadian Star Charting.  With one of the most beautiful skyscapes imaginable, the observatory is located in the heart of Flagstaff, about 5 minutes from our hotel.  So you'll be able to shuffle off to bed as soon as we're done to dream of how our connection has been enhanced in a very holistic service that validates the transmigrational evolution of Earth Mother.
DAY 6: JUNE 1, 2026 - EMBODYING ALL WE ARE
As our sacred road-trip comes to a close, we carry the peace of vision, happiness of Earth Mother and strength of the Ancestors with us as we return to the Sacred Grounds we call HOME.  The experiences we have had, are not just memories; they are a course of action.

May the spirit of this Ancestral Land – it's profound beauty, emissions, and clearly revealed dimensions – carry you until our next pilgrimage (August 25-September 1, 2027 – Serpent Mound, OH).  Together we inspire, resolve challenges, and follow the sensation of happiness… because now we know what it feels like… as we Walk Forward.
