Daniel is a researcher and explorer of the energetic practices of the Mayan Calendar and the states of consciousness involved in the practice of Kahlay. His extensive experience, discipline and kinesthetic memory make him one of the greatest practitioners of a generation.
Alexandre Luis Casali: is a Heyoka (Sacred Clown), Toltec, Server of Sacred Plants, Practitioner of Magical Passes, Art Therapist, born in Brazil.
He practices Toltec Arts since 1995 which gave him the freedom to seek convergences between diverse spiritual lines such as Taoism, Brazilian Shamanism, Amerindian Foundations, Hindu Yoga, Zen Buddhism, 4th Way, Sufism, Ho’Oponopono.
He has worked since 1996 as an actor and perceived that these Arts use the same techniques and produce the same elevated states of consciousness as the spiritual sciences.
In his workshops he shares the shamanic practices he uses in his quest to grow as a human being. In the Ceremonies, he invites us to perceive the Divine Work of Art that is every moment and the life each one has on this planet. He believes that Art is one of the pillars to improve the consciousness and understanding of the Human Being; that every profession is art, every human being is an artist and art is self-knowledge… And as the Toltecs say “self-knowledge is Art”.

Walk of Power
Through the pilgrimage we honour the guardians and ancestors in those places that were discovered to be sacred for harbouring the revelations that underlie an essential culture. In the same way we remember that as human beings we are passing through and that by travelling lightly through life we embrace wholeness.
“Walk in your daily life, at work, in conversation, through your mental landscapes, your common places where emotions settle, your need to get somewhere in some time. Walk and tone the muscles of detachment. Walk and burn the calories of boredom. Let the everyday be the temple where you offer each of your steps. Thus we go on pilgrimage.” CJC
Next date:
June 10 – Circular del Chinyero, Tenerife.
