Energetic Equilibrium Course
Personal and Planetary Resonance on the Pathway to 2012.
Luisa Rothwell
According to the Mayan tradition, the great cycle of 5,200 years closes around the year of 2012 and a new Baktun will begin. The Mayan ancestors foretold that this would bring a new era for all the civilizations of the planet, based on the values of love, solidarity, brotherhood, loyalty, respect for oneself and others, a true humanity. They urged us to reconnect with the energies of mother earth and her natural cycles and to live in a balanced and harmonious way.
At the gateway of this change, this series of practical workshops calls on the wisdom of the Maya as a central focus and guide. We also explore other “energetic traditions”, both ancient and modern, from around the globe. Together they provide us with profound understanding and a powerful range of techniques for cultivating our equilibrium. By learning how to live in sacred time and how to communicate with the energies that are present in our lives, in us and around us, we will be able to prepare ourselves personally and collectively for a harmonic transition in 2012.
These courses are designed so that everybody can get involved, the first practitioner is you, the one who inhabits the body being cared for. Discover how to manage your energies more effectively to meet stress, reduce anxiety and free yourself from illness, then you can apply what you learn for yourself to benefit family members, friends or in your role as a professional therapist. With a flexible, modular structure to the workshops, you can complete as much or as little as you want, follow your fascinations and personal needs.
Energetic Equilibrium is not just a workshop, it is a way of life, a way to feel and a way to be. These years of preparation are a window of opportunity and simply by being in resonance with your true self, you will change your life and contribute to the fulfillment of the ancient Mayan prophecies.

Trainer: In 1998, inspired by the magical energy of Lake Atitlán, Luisa Rothwell created San Marcos Holistic Centre and since then she has been teaching and giving treatments in a broad range of massage and holistic therapies. She is an internationally accredited instructor in Creative Kinesiology and Touch for Health and also feels a deep resonance with the native wisdom of her adoptive land, Guatemala, the land of the Maya. Over the last few years she has been studying with local ajq’ijab, Mayan spiritual guides, sharing sacred fire ceremony with them and investigating concepts of Mayan energetic equilibrium, sacred time and space, cosmology and calendars.
Luisa is also very involved with Unification Maya, a yearly event which began in 2005. The aim is to raise awareness regarding the Mayan changes in the cycles of time and to prepare for this energetic transition through fire ceremony. Unification Maya takes place around each winter solstice until the year 2012 in the sacred site of Tikal.
Louise teaches in both English and Spanish and is available to teach throughout the Americas. She is also available to teach internationally registered professional courses in Kinesiology if you wish to develop your skills further along the professional route.
