SUMMARY:CLINICAL: In-Person Nauha Healing Day in Tepoztlán\, Morelos. México.
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed program.\nThe program is hosted by Don David Wiley and supported by his office.\nTepahtiani Clinical Healing In-Person Session\nDon David Wiley offers Traditional Nahua Healing sessions as part of the training program for his Tepahtiani apprentices\, or Nahua Traditional Healers. \nThe Nahua Weather Working path has a rich healing practice\, and many have experienced the profound blessings of this work. Tepahtiani apprentices are initiated Weather Workers\, also called Graniceros or Quiatlizques\, who have taken on the additional work of learning the ancient healing practices associated with the Nahua tradition. \nDuring a Tepahtiani Clinical Healing session\, Don David Wiley performs healing work while approximately 8 of his apprentices observe and learn. These sessions are held under strict confidentiality. \nGiven that these sessions take place during a training day and in an educational environment\, the fee for these clinical healing sessions is significantly reduced. \nThis is a closed program. The program is hosted by Don David Wiley and supported by his office. Due to the nature of the training\, there is a brief application process for these appointments. Students require diversity in the different aspects of the medicine\, so requests are added to a list\, and once approved\, recipients will receive a confirmation email. \nSessions are 45 minutes long.\nThere are six appointments available\, starting at 9 AM. \nIf you would like more information\, please contact Don David Wiley’s Consultorio. \nFeel free to recommend this offering to those who may benefit from or be interested in shamanic traditional healing.

SUMMARY:Tepahtiani Training
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed specialized program.\nGraduate Tepahtiani Training Classes\nLocation: Casa Xiuhtecuhtli – Tepoztlán\, Morelos\, México \nThe Tepahtiani healing path is not something one learns from books—it is a living tradition\, passed through presence\, practice\, and relationship. These in-person graduate training classes are a vital part of the continuing education that Don David Wiley offers to initiated apprentices walking this sacred Nahua path. \nThis is a medicine that must be felt\, lived\, and embodied. It moves through the heart\, through connection with Nature and Divine\, through personal transformation. That is why direct\, experiential training is essential. These classes are not just about refining technique—they are about deepening perception\, growing in humility\, and learning to truly listen to life. \nDon David Wiley was trained as a Tepahtiani by Don Lucio Campos Elizalde\, a revered healer who spent his life walking the sacred paths of the central Mexican highlands. Don Lucio passed on his staff to Don David after recognizing in him the devotion\, strength\, and integrity needed to carry this lineage forward—especially across cultures and languages\, so that others might receive the gift of this ancient wisdom. \nTatewarí chose Don David to become a shaman\, to rescue and preserve the lost ancestral teachings of Indigenous medicine paths. As a bridge between worlds\, Don David now trains mara’akate and tepahtiani alike—those who have been called into service and committed to their own sacred learning. \nThese graduate classes are offered exclusively at Casa Xiuhtecuhtli in Tepoztlán\, where the ceremonial heart of this tradition lives. Here\, the Mayoría—home to the sacred Nahua altar—provides a space for apprentices to continue their growth\, refine their healing skills\, and deepen their service. \nTrainings typically include: \n\nTemazcalli (traditional sweat lodge) for purification and alignment\nTeachings and transmission of advanced healing techniques and cosmology\nClinical healing days to gain real-time experience under supervision\nSpiritual direction & mentoring from Don David Wiley and the wisdom of elder teachers\n\nWhile apprentices in the early stages of their Tepahtiani formation may be called to pilgrimage in places such as Chalma\, those in graduate formation continue their path through direct relationship with Don David and the ceremonial center in Tepoztlán. \nThese classes uphold a core truth: that the medicine is alive\, and it reveals itself only through humility\, presence\, and service. They are a rare opportunity to stay attuned with the current of a living tradition—and with the deeper purpose each apprentice was called to fulfill.

SUMMARY:Offerings to la Virgen del Rayo
DESCRIPTION:Pilgrimage to Iztaccíhuatl: \nHonoring the Weather Beings\nLong before foreign feet ever touched these lands\, Iztaccíhuatl stood as a silent sentinel\, her snow-crowned peaks watching over the valleys below like a mother over her children. She was not merely a mountain\, but a living presence—an ancient protector whispered into being by Divine breath itself. \nThe original peoples who lived near her revered her spirit and recognized her connection to the sacred forces of life. She was—and remains—deeply entwined with Chalchiuhtlicue\, goddess of the waters that give and sustain life. In time\, her sacred image was syncretized with the Virgin of Lightning\, and even later with La Malinche\, yet the essence has never changed. She is the guardian of cycles\, of fertility\, of sky and storm—a threshold between earth and heavens. On her slopes\, high and remote\, rituals were once offered in prayerful silence and ecstatic song—gifts of flowers\, jade\, feathers\, and food placed with devotion to call forth rain and abundance\, and to honor the elemental spirits that walk beside us. \nToday\, this lineage continues. \nEach Spring and Fall\, Don David Wiley leads a group of graniceros—weather workers—up her sacred spine\, to a special site near the sky. This place was revealed decades ago by his beloved teacher\, Don Lucio Campos Elizalde\, a renowned Mexican shaman and guardian of ancestral knowledge. Don David met Don Lucio in Nepopualco\, Morelos\, in 1996\, a moment that marked the unfolding of a prophecy—Divine reaching toward the modern world through a path of fire and cloud. It was then that Don David was initiated as a granicero\, tiempero or quiapaquiz in Nahuatl\, and the transmission of sacred weather knowledge began—heart to heart\, breath to breath. \nSanta Bárbara\, patroness of storms and protector of those who walk between worlds\, once revealed while Don Lucio lay in a coma for three years that Nahua granicero souls would reincarnate in modern times and come from the four corners of the Earth. And they have. Year after year\, they return—no matter the distance\, no matter the thunder—to fulfill their mandas\, sacred vows etched not in ink\, but in soul. \nLa Virgen del Rayo \nIn 2004\, the group erected a modern statue of the Virgin of the Lightning to mark the site—not as a monument\, but as a living altar. They hoped that this contemporary expression would shield the sacred place from the unknowing tread of hikers who might not understand the weight of older\, pre-Hispanic imagery. And so\, each season\, they climb. They dress the Virgin in beautiful flowers and offerings\, they sing\, they pray\, they eat together under the watchful eyes of the weather beings. Then they return to the sacred valley of Tepoztlán\, carrying with them the mountain’s breath and blessings. \nThis is not a ceremony of the past. It is a living promise—an echo of Divine calling those who remember to step forward. Rain or lightning\, heat or hail\, they come. Not out of obligation\, but out of love\, service\, and the unwavering knowing that this is what it means to be in relationship with the forces that sustain life. \n \nAnd when they descend from Iztaccíhuatl’s heights\, each granicero carries back not only offerings fulfilled\, but gifts received—protection\, strength\, and the memory of standing face to face with the sacred. They bring these blessings to distant lands\, where they work quietly to help restore a lost balance\, to awaken hearts\, and to invite the world once again into right relationship with nature\, with the unseen\, and with the ever-present grace of Divine. \n\nIztaccíhuatl Volcano \n Invitation to Join the Ceremonies on Iztaccíhuatl\nIf something in your heart stirs as you read about this sacred pilgrimage—if you feel a quiet knowing\, a gentle pull from the mountain\, or a sense that you are meant to be in relationship with the forces that give and sustain life—you are warmly invited to step forward. \nEach journey to Iztaccíhuatl is part of a larger ceremonial cycle—a sacred act of love\, service\, and devotion. The walk up the volcano is just one of the many ritual responsibilities that must be fulfilled during the Fall and Spring ceremonies of Weather Work. It is not a trek\, nor a symbolic gesture\, but a living tradition—an offering made in prayer and gratitude to the weather beings\, the ancestors\, and Divine. \nSome people come simply to accompany the offerings at Iztaccíhuatl as respectful guests. Others may sense a deeper calling stirring within them—an ancestral echo\, a tug at the soul. If this is the case for you\, there is a path of inquiry to follow\, to discern whether you are being called to serve as a granicero—a Weather Worker—in the tradition guided by Don David Wiley. \nWhether you are drawn to witness\, support\, or explore a potential commitment\, you are welcome. \nTo attend or learn more\, please write to:\n📧 workingwithweather@keepsthefire.org \nYou will be contacted by the Chief of the Granicero Group\, who will guide you through what is needed to participate and coordinate any necessary logistics. \nThis path is not reserved for the few\, but open to those who are willing to listen\, to remember\, and to walk in right relationship with the sacred forces of nature. \nWe look forward to hearing from you. \n

SUMMARY:Fall Weather Work Ceremonies
DESCRIPTION:This series of events is hosted by the Weather Workers.\nThese are closed\, specialized gatherings\, accompanied by open ceremonies.\nFall Weather Ceremonies\nAn Ancient Tradition of Gratitude & Abundance\nEach year in late fall\, many who have been initiated into the Nahua rain tradition—known as Quiapaquiz (“bringers of water” in Nahuatl) or Tiemperos (“workers of the rain time” in Spanish)—gather at sacred altars and ceremonial sites in the central highlands of Mexico. Together\, they offer gratitude for the rains that nourished the land throughout the growing season and perform ancient ceremonies to conclude the rain cycle. \nThese time-honored rites symbolically close the spiritual door for the season\, allowing Tlaloc—the sacred force that brings the rains—to rest\, dream\, and begin the sacred work of germination in preparation for the coming cycle. \nThis ceremonial work is deeply rooted in the ancestral understanding of balance between human beings and the spiritual presence of weather. Once initiated into this ancient and still-living path\, Tiemperos\, also called Graniceros (storm pacifiers)\, serve as bridges—conduits between the powerful forces of wind\, cloud\, lightning\, and rain\, and the people who rely on these life-giving elements. \nLong ago\, it was revealed that this relationship between humans and the spirits of weather is not only possible—it is essential. It allows for the blessing of rain to reach the earth in harmony\, and provides a way to mitigate destructive storms through reciprocal connection and devotion. \nWe are part of a continuous lineage handed down through Don Lucio Campos to our current Temachtian (teacher)\, Don David Wiley. This sacred path is not chosen lightly—it is a lifelong calling that demands devotion\, humility\, and a deep commitment to learning. Its purpose is both practical and spiritual: to bring beneficial weather and to strengthen humanity’s sacred relationship with the natural and unseen worlds. \nIf you would like to attend one of our open ceremonies or learn more about the Granicero tradition\, please reach out to us at:\n📩 workingforweather@keepsthefire.org \n

SUMMARY:Continuous Education Prep - Traditional Medicine Paths
DESCRIPTION:Curriculum design & planning\nBridging the vast and often forgotten ancestral wisdom of indigenous traditions with the Western modern world is a monumental task in itself. Yet Don David Wiley has taken on this sacred mission\, facing countless ongoing challenges to design and deliver programs that are not only tangible and replicable\, but that carry the weight and authenticity of true spiritual teachings.\nWhat makes this even more profound is the care with which Don David ensures that what is shared is exactly what needs to be shared—stripped of anything superfluous or misleading\, and offered with clear intention. He has had to navigate the assumptions and filters of contemporary\, educated minds\, which often believe they already understand how life works. In contrast\, Don David invites students to unlearn\, to return to a deeper way of knowing rooted in direct relationship with Divine\, nature\, and the sacred. \nMuch of this knowledge was originally passed down through oral tradition—shared from one generation to the next\, in sacred trust. Don David has found powerful ways to bring these teachings into the modern world without compromising their essence. Surfing between realms\, he draws what is needed from the intangible into the tangible—bridging spirit and form with clarity and purpose. \nAfter his intense training\, apprenticeship\, and initiations with living teachers in both the Nahua and Wixárika traditions\, Don David has now successfully trained the first generations of Western shamanic healers: Tepahtiani & Mara’akate. These pioneers have taken their place in the living web of healing and service. \nToday\, Don David is supported by a devoted team in both traditions—people who are helping him structure what can now be recognized as a curriculum of spiritual training. These teachings span different levels of commitment and engagement\, guiding those whose souls are being called back to the basics: to ancestral knowledge\, lived wisdom\, and real practices that can restore balance\, not only within individuals\, but across communities\, lands\, and generations. \nWe offer our deepest gratitude to Don David’s teaching assistants\, who provide him with invaluable support and help carry this great work forward. A heartfelt shout-out to each of you—for the unseen and sacred service you embody. \n

SUMMARY:In Service: Voluntary Mentorship & Guidance
DESCRIPTION:Mentoring Calls\nAs part of his sacred service\, Don David Wiley dedicates monthly and bi-weekly mentoring and counseling sessions to those who lead organizations and endeavors sparked by Grandfather Fire—such as Sacred Fire and its many branches of spiritual work. Though his time is incredibly limited\, Don David selflessly volunteers these sessions to ensure that the flame of Grandfather’s guidance continues to illuminate the path for others.\nHis mentorship helps anchor offerings like Firekeeping in alignment with Grandfather Fire’s wisdom. This support ensures that the reach of this medicine continues to expand\, making it available to all who feel the call of Fire stirring within them. \nWorking closely with long-time community members such as Annie King—who has been instrumental in designing and implementing the Firekeeping training programs\, facilitations\, and retreats—Don David continues to weave together a living legacy of support\, connection\, and transformation. \nHe also offers regular mentoring to the Executive Director of Sacred Fire\, helping navigate the complex responsibilities of leading such a revolutionary endeavor. Through this guidance\, the sacred work of reigniting humanity’s relationship with the medicine of Fire is sustained and strengthened. \nAdditionally\, Don David offers volunteer mentorship to the Tsantawu Men’s Council\, which oversees the biannual rituals at Stone Mountain. These rituals are dedicated to cultivating relationship with the land\, ancestral beings\, and the seasonal rains—a vital act of reciprocity and spiritual stewardship. \nThough unseen by many\, these efforts are essential threads in the living fabric of spiritual reconnection that Don David helps sustain. His dedication is a reminder that true leadership is rooted in service\, and that sacred work continues quietly and powerfully behind the scenes\, fueled by love\, commitment\, and the wisdom of Fire.

SUMMARY:In Service: Voluntary Mentorship & Guidance
DESCRIPTION:Mentoring Calls\nAs part of his sacred service\, Don David Wiley dedicates monthly and bi-weekly mentoring and counseling sessions to those who lead organizations and endeavors sparked by Grandfather Fire—such as Sacred Fire and its many branches of spiritual work. Though his time is incredibly limited\, Don David selflessly volunteers these sessions to ensure that the flame of Grandfather’s guidance continues to illuminate the path for others.\nHis mentorship helps anchor offerings like Firekeeping in alignment with Grandfather Fire’s wisdom. This support ensures that the reach of this medicine continues to expand\, making it available to all who feel the call of Fire stirring within them. \nWorking closely with long-time community members such as Annie King—who has been instrumental in designing and implementing the Firekeeping training programs\, facilitations\, and retreats—Don David continues to weave together a living legacy of support\, connection\, and transformation. \nHe also offers regular mentoring to the Executive Director of Sacred Fire\, helping navigate the complex responsibilities of leading such a revolutionary endeavor. Through this guidance\, the sacred work of reigniting humanity’s relationship with the medicine of Fire is sustained and strengthened. \nAdditionally\, Don David offers volunteer mentorship to the Tsantawu Men’s Council\, which oversees the biannual rituals at Stone Mountain. These rituals are dedicated to cultivating relationship with the land\, ancestral beings\, and the seasonal rains—a vital act of reciprocity and spiritual stewardship. \nThough unseen by many\, these efforts are essential threads in the living fabric of spiritual reconnection that Don David helps sustain. His dedication is a reminder that true leadership is rooted in service\, and that sacred work continues quietly and powerfully behind the scenes\, fueled by love\, commitment\, and the wisdom of Fire.

SUMMARY:Audience with Grandfather Fire: Harvest Tsantawu Festival
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed specialized audience hosted by the Tsantawu Coincil.\nAudience with Grandfather Fire: \nA Sacred Opening\nAs part of the Fall Harvest Tsantawu Festival\, the Audience with Grandfather Fire takes place at the end of the first full workday. This private gathering offers the Ritual Team direct guidance from Divine\, ensuring that their service aligns with the deeper intentions of the season. \nUnlike the Spring Audience\, which is held at the end of their time together\, this Fall gathering provides essential insight before stepping into sacred work. Grandfather Fire\, speaking through Don David Wiley\, offers wisdom that illuminates the path forward\, helping the team attune to the needs of the land\, the elements\, and the spiritual forces at play. \nDuring this time\, Don David surrenders fully\, as Grandfather Fire takes over his body\, sending him “to the workshop.” He remains unaware of what transpires until the following day when the Ritual Pilot shares Grandfather’s guidance\, ensuring that the message remains pure and unfiltered. \nAfter the Audience\, the Ritual Team dedicates a full day to absorbing\, reflecting on\, and discussing Grandfather’s words. This time of integration is vital\, allowing each member to embody the wisdom received before stepping into their roles. With hearts aligned and purpose clarified\, they enter the ceremony fully prepared to fulfill their part in the sacred cycle of reciprocity between humanity\, nature\, and the unseen forces that sustain life.

SUMMARY:Continuous Education Prep - Traditional Medicine Paths
DESCRIPTION:Curriculum design & planning\nBridging the vast and often forgotten ancestral wisdom of indigenous traditions with the Western modern world is a monumental task in itself. Yet Don David Wiley has taken on this sacred mission\, facing countless ongoing challenges to design and deliver programs that are not only tangible and replicable\, but that carry the weight and authenticity of true spiritual teachings.\nWhat makes this even more profound is the care with which Don David ensures that what is shared is exactly what needs to be shared—stripped of anything superfluous or misleading\, and offered with clear intention. He has had to navigate the assumptions and filters of contemporary\, educated minds\, which often believe they already understand how life works. In contrast\, Don David invites students to unlearn\, to return to a deeper way of knowing rooted in direct relationship with Divine\, nature\, and the sacred. \nMuch of this knowledge was originally passed down through oral tradition—shared from one generation to the next\, in sacred trust. Don David has found powerful ways to bring these teachings into the modern world without compromising their essence. Surfing between realms\, he draws what is needed from the intangible into the tangible—bridging spirit and form with clarity and purpose. \nAfter his intense training\, apprenticeship\, and initiations with living teachers in both the Nahua and Wixárika traditions\, Don David has now successfully trained the first generations of Western shamanic healers: Tepahtiani & Mara’akate. These pioneers have taken their place in the living web of healing and service. \nToday\, Don David is supported by a devoted team in both traditions—people who are helping him structure what can now be recognized as a curriculum of spiritual training. These teachings span different levels of commitment and engagement\, guiding those whose souls are being called back to the basics: to ancestral knowledge\, lived wisdom\, and real practices that can restore balance\, not only within individuals\, but across communities\, lands\, and generations. \nWe offer our deepest gratitude to Don David’s teaching assistants\, who provide him with invaluable support and help carry this great work forward. A heartfelt shout-out to each of you—for the unseen and sacred service you embody. \n

SUMMARY:Continuous Education Prep - Traditional Medicine Paths
DESCRIPTION:Curriculum design & planning\nBridging the vast and often forgotten ancestral wisdom of indigenous traditions with the Western modern world is a monumental task in itself. Yet Don David Wiley has taken on this sacred mission\, facing countless ongoing challenges to design and deliver programs that are not only tangible and replicable\, but that carry the weight and authenticity of true spiritual teachings.\nWhat makes this even more profound is the care with which Don David ensures that what is shared is exactly what needs to be shared—stripped of anything superfluous or misleading\, and offered with clear intention. He has had to navigate the assumptions and filters of contemporary\, educated minds\, which often believe they already understand how life works. In contrast\, Don David invites students to unlearn\, to return to a deeper way of knowing rooted in direct relationship with Divine\, nature\, and the sacred. \nMuch of this knowledge was originally passed down through oral tradition—shared from one generation to the next\, in sacred trust. Don David has found powerful ways to bring these teachings into the modern world without compromising their essence. Surfing between realms\, he draws what is needed from the intangible into the tangible—bridging spirit and form with clarity and purpose. \nAfter his intense training\, apprenticeship\, and initiations with living teachers in both the Nahua and Wixárika traditions\, Don David has now successfully trained the first generations of Western shamanic healers: Tepahtiani & Mara’akate. These pioneers have taken their place in the living web of healing and service. \nToday\, Don David is supported by a devoted team in both traditions—people who are helping him structure what can now be recognized as a curriculum of spiritual training. These teachings span different levels of commitment and engagement\, guiding those whose souls are being called back to the basics: to ancestral knowledge\, lived wisdom\, and real practices that can restore balance\, not only within individuals\, but across communities\, lands\, and generations. \nWe offer our deepest gratitude to Don David’s teaching assistants\, who provide him with invaluable support and help carry this great work forward. A heartfelt shout-out to each of you—for the unseen and sacred service you embody. \n
