UN Launches Aztec Ocean Healing Ceremonies at Los Muertos Pier on New Year's Dawn

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - "This New Year's dawn, 7-8 A.M., January 1st, Mexico's renowned Aztecas, Mayans and Huichols, on behalf of the United Nations, will dance humanity into a new way of being in 2011, at Puerto Vallarta's Los Muertos Pier," said Olympic skier Suzy "Chapstick" Chaffee, co-chair of Native American Olympic Team Foundation (NAOTF).

NAOTF has aligned with the U.N., Bolivian Mission, and Tribal Elders to use this "most powerful sacred day and time, to augment prayers to set intention and accelerate healing our Mother Earth, especially Her oceans that give us joy, revitalization and food," said Mazatl, the Azteca Elder host.  The '70 Something' Elder who danced for Pope John-Paul ll, and performs fire ceremonies on PV's Pirate Ship, warmly invites everyone to come reconnect with Mother Earth's heart, or pray with us wherever you are.

This officially launches the worldwide Elders-led ocean healing ceremonies leading up to U.N.'s International Mother Earth Day on April 22, 2011, initiated by the Bolivians.  World tribes regularly perform ceremonies where the drums call in the ancestral and Nature spirits to powerfully send love and appreciation to Mother Earth's oceans, but given our world eco crisis, the Bolivians saw we need to work cross-culturally.

"We hope our whole Earth Family participates in these ceremonies that reconnect us with our ancient earth-honoring roots, to inspire communities to remember to give thanks to our Mother Earth and take green steps to live in more harmony with Nature daily," said Bolivia's Ambassador Loayza.

"Time to listen to the voices of Indigenous people," said U.N. Assembly President Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann, supported by four Nobel Prize winners, Eric Chivian, Muhammad Yunus, Joseph Stiglitz, and partner of our Elders, the late Dr. Steven Schneider.

The Aztecs chose Bandaras Bay's pier near where the whales perform their amazing mating dances, since these ceremonies raise the vibration of the water, to help purify, heal and restore our dying oceans, and its nutrients we have carelessly trashed with more plastic than plankton from the West Coast of the Americas, to Asia. Fish are eating microscopic carcinogenic plastic that snow down on them looking like plankton. That means whales and humans are eating plastic fish. An island of trash the size of Texas where no fish live, just invaded an Hawaiian Island.

Another grave concern, "The gray whales have developed the 'skinny syndrome,' and in November, instead of giving birth to 200 babies in Baja California's Magdelena Bay, there were only 10, shared Ann Wycott, Snow Magazine writer, who had hoped to show her son the birthings.

"Our foundation quickly organized a Baby Whale Emergency Ceremony in the bay near Santa Barbara City College  where the whales migrate between the Arctic Circle and Baja. While it was led by gifted Maori Whalerider Elder Grandmother Pauline and Apache Earth healer Valerie Nunez with Ingrid Schmidt's college students, healing our oceans takes a Village," said Chaffee.

Since "toxic household products, especially detergents with synthetic fragrances, harm the immune systems of marine life," revealed a Stanford study, the Elders and Nobel Prize winners also agree that to keep whales visiting our ports, switch ASAP to all natural cleaners for everything. You can get Dr. Bronners or Ecover from VSN or Lyari Organics health food stores near Rizzos," or 17 pesos/kilo baking soda from Cereales near Leys, or Organic Superfoods (near El Brujo Restaurant and tunnel), which is spearheading toxin education with the Mexican Olympic Committee and gyms.

Lynn Wedekind of Seattle, an Acutonics(.com) instructor, is bringing her ceremonial Ohm Earth Gong. Elder, Dr. Olivia Ellis, says, "It sounds like a chorus of angels and will give the ocean and participants an extra powerful healing."

Malenankayotl, Mazatl's so-in-law, said, "Please ideally wear white and bring a white flower and candle." He runs their Tamaskal/sweat lodge in Ixtapa, where Chaffee and Gail Weatherly, an English Shamen, prayed and asked for the Elder's guidance in creating this unifying event. 

The magnificence of the Azteca, Mayan and Huichol cultures, is only surpassed by the attention that humanity is finally giving these wisdomkeepers, especially the Mayan prophesies.

Participating in these unity ceremonies and purifying Mother Earth are critical to creating a smoother 2012, said Don Alejandra, Guatemala's National Mayan Council of Elders leader. At the urging of the Bolivians and U.N.'s Sustainability officer, Maria Mercedes Sanchez, NAOTF helped launch Elders-led mountain ceremonies at Vail Colorado's World Ski Cup in December. See Ute-Navajo miracles HERE.

The delighted Sanchez, a Nicaraguan, then asked Chaffee to "please help inspire communities to also invite Elders to lead ocean ceremonies."

"Puerto Vallarta is a befitting locale to also honor the Aztecs for helping seed all this after teaching Rollingbears, a Lakota-Azteca, in Telluride Colorado, to ski with TelSki's complementary ticket, which inspired him to save their 1995 snowless Christmas. Witnessing three more emergency weather miracles made me realize Mother Earth really listens," said Chaffee. 

"With the grace of God, the Vail and Puerto Vallarta launches are inspiring world communities to recreate an Eden-like New Earth in our own backyards," said Dr. Ellis.

Hail to Puerto Vallarta and Jalisco leaders and citizens for adopting the new recycling program. Next, some of PV's original families, in partnership with American and Canadians ex patriots, who are part of PV's 'Mexico Limpio and Querida' (means Clean and Loved), are sharing other cutting edge ways that the city and families can easily and affordably do to protect our whales and children and keep our beloved Puerto Vallarta Paradise.
