Chaa Creek, which is hosting Belize’s 2012 Maya Winter Solstice Celebrations, has some amazing speakers for the series of workshops and lectures that will be part of the weeklong activities centred on December 21 2012. They've announced David Ruiz, Rosita Arvigo, and Joe Awe so far.
"David Ruiz is a Belizean educator and the author of four books – Jonah Matapalo, Cuin seif Got, The Visit and Old Benque. Mr Ruiz was born near Guatemala in 1966 in the border town of Benque Viejo del Carmen and writes in English and Spanish, recording traditional Maya legends and myths as well as dealing with more contemporary themes such as the experience of growing up in multicultural Belize. Rosita Arvigo is the author of Sastun: My Apprenticeship with a Maya Healer and several other books on Maya natural healing, and anthropologist Joe Awe is Chaa Creek’s resident Mayanist at their Belize Natural History Centre."
