Pablo Castro Hernández

Pablo was born in Mexico. He is mainly an Archaeologist of the Mayan culture, but he is also a teacher of Capoeira Angola (Afro-Brazilian dance) and a singer-songwriter of medicine music. In the field of Archeology, he is very dedicated to hieroglyphic writing and the use of Cacao. With the guidance of Mayan spiritual teachers, he has been initiated into the practice of the Mayan "vapor bath" and the use of the Tzolk'in calendar. Because of his alternative theories, he works outside the universities, promoting his work at conferences, workshops, and also on trips to the Mayan pyramids. In his words: "the mission is to awaken the human spirit through ancestral wisdom, seeking that the Mayan past make our present flourish."
