The Secretariat of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues
is pleased to invite you to
“The Mayan Cosmovision: Is 2012 the end of the world?”
Wednesday, 24 October
1:30 pm
Room S-2726, 27th floor, Secretariat Building, UN Headquarters
After offering their blessings for the new offices of the Secretariat of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, the Mayan Elders of the K’iche’ Mayoral of Santo Tomas de Chichicastenango, Guatemala (Maya-Quiche Empire), will share their message with the UN community.
According to the Maya, all aspects of life are governed by the movement of the heavens. Thousands of years ago, Mayan astronomers foresaw in 2012 a unique alignment of the cosmos which occurs only once every 64,000 years. The Maya identified this new cycle as a monumental transition and an opportunity to realign priorities based on the principles of love, gratitude, care and respect for both humanity and our environment.
Please bring your own lunch!
