Return to Self : A Journey with Cacao, guided by Tz'ules Sunun, Maya Kiché

  • Golden Drum 97 Green St. G1 Brooklyn, NY, 11222 Unites States of America (map)

We invite your inner self to experience connection, consciousness, and inner practice in a way that honors your roots.

Let us share this sacred space of presence and inner transformation through a kakaw (cacao) ceremony inspired by ancestral wisdom and Mayan cosmology. Reminding us that the cosmos and the ether form a living, sacred, interconnected space where all of nature possesses a spirit.

Kakaw will accompany us as a ceremonial drink, harmoniously opening the vibrations of the subconscious and unconscious mind through reflection, sacred words, aroma, and flavor—infused with love from Ulew (the Earth). It transforms our intention for change, allowing us to align our thoughts, words, and feelings, and to be honest with ourselves.

Kakaw opens our hearts, allowing us to let go of control and release grudges, resentments, and traumas. This is a time to look at ourselves truthfully, acknowledge our humanity, and choose each day to change through love and respect. We do not seek perfection; we seek to believe in ourselves and remain true to our path, without doubt.

Come with an open heart and a willingness to gift yourself this moment. The world becomes better when we begin with our own inner selves; let us expand our boundaries and honor boundless ancestral wisdom with patience and peace.

About Tz'ules Sunun

My spiritual journey began in childhood.

I was born and raised in a family that was both Spiritist and deeply spiritual. One of the most important roots of my life was my grandfather—a quiet man from Quiché who possessed a powerful, profound spirituality; his presence and teachings shaped my understanding of faith, respect, and the spiritual world from a very young age.

Throughout my childhood and adolescence, I received foundational training from him, my family, and the spiritual school in which we grew up—training that became the basis for my entire subsequent path.

As the years went by, a need arose within me to explore my own roots more deeply and to consciously connect with ancestral spirituality.

Around 2004, I began a period of searching, study, practice, and personal preparation that spanned several years. It was not an immediate path. It involved years of learning, observing, practicing, and listening to my teachers, as well as coming to understand that providing spiritual guidance to others requires, first and foremost, doing deep inner work on oneself.

Between 2010 and 2011, following that period of training, I began to embrace the path of a spiritual guide, supporting others based on the teachings I had received, my own personal experience, and the profound respect I have always held for spirituality.

My connection to the Mayan worldview became one of the fundamental roots of my life. My family history—specifically the story of my grandfather, who was orphaned as a child after his parents were murdered in Quiché, Guatemala—sparked a deep need within me to reconnect with ancestral memory, to understand my roots, and to honor them.

That story awakened a desire to return to my roots, to know them, and to honor them.

Over the years, I have been blessed to find teachers who shared their knowledge of the Mayan worldview with me and taught me to approach it with respect, discipline, and responsibility.

Along this path, the sacred fire became one of my greatest teachers.

I learned about Xukulem—the ceremonial relationship with the sacred fire; Katzinel—when the fire moves, dances, and conveys its messages; and Toj—the spiritual offering or repayment made using various elements, such as ceremonial incense.

Over time, this practice evolved from a mere learning process into a profound part of my own spiritual life and the way I support others.

Alongside this, I have developed various wellness and guidance practices. I have approximately 21 years of experience in massage therapy, around 10 years working with hypnosis, nearly 11 years in chakra harmonization and alignment, and about 10 years in card reading, in addition to many years performing spiritual and energetic cleansings.

My spirituality, however, did not begin when I started offering these services.

It began much earlier: in my grandfather’s teachings, within my family, during my adolescence, in the spiritual school where I grew up, and subsequently, during the years of study and preparation I undertook around 2004.

Today, I view my path as the union of those two great roots: the spirituality I received from my family and my training in the ancestral Mayan worldview.

I do not consider myself the owner of any single truth or tradition. I remain a woman who learns, listens, and honors those who have taught her.

My purpose in guiding others is to create spaces where they can look inward, listen to their own truth, and remember that spirituality is not merely about speaking of love, consciousness, or harmony, but also about striving to live them out every day.

For me, returning to ancestral roots has also meant letting go of prejudices, criticism, and judgment, and focusing on practicing what I say—because if one does not practice what one speaks, it is a lie. The world needs sacred words shared in an open circle, and that is only possible if you truly wish to use your intuition.
