About Me, tata Francisco

YourHost of Authentic Fire & Cacao Ceremonies at Lake Atitlán (Guatemala) and around the World

TataFrancisco is a guardian of fire and cacao from the Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, belonging to the Kaqchiquel Maya people. This means he comes from a lineage that has preserved the wisdom, rituals, and ancestral knowledge of the Maya for generations. 

My path as a spiritual guide is rooted in a deep connection with Maya Cosmovision, nature, and the ancestral wisdom of Ixim ulew, (the land of the corn)Guatemala.

Over the years, I have walked a path of learning, practice, and connection with the elements, the sacred fire, cacao, the cycles of time, and the teachings of the grandparents and grandmothers.

My purpose is to share these sacred spaces with respect, humility, and gratitude, creating ceremonies where each person can pause, reconnect with themselves, Mother Earth, and the sacred.

For me, being a spiritual guide does not mean having all the answers. It means walking alongside others, holding a space of respect, and remembering that wisdom also lives in nature, in our hearts, and in our connection with life.

Maya Cosmovision

Mayan Cosmovision is a way of understanding life based on the profound relationship between human beings, nature, the universe, and the sacred.

It teaches us that we are not separate from nature, but part of a living and interconnected world. The Earth, the elements, the mountains, rivers, animals, plants, ancestors, and the cycles of time are approached with respect and gratitude.

At its heart are balance, harmony, reciprocity, gratitude, and connection. Through ceremonies, ancestral teachings, sacred fire, cacao, prayer, and connection with nature, we create spaces to remember our relationship with life and the sacred.

A path of connection, respect, gratitude, and harmony with all that exists.

Tata Francisco's Offer To You

Many of us feel disconnected - from nature, from the rhythms of the planets, from community and from ourselves. City life often pulls us further away from what truly nourishes the soul.

For the Maya, these connections have never been lost. Through the fire, the cacao, and the sacred calendar, they remain in dialogue with the earth, the cosmos, and the living energies of nature.

By stepping into fire and caco ceremony with Tata Francisco, you are invited to remember what has always been part of human life: connection, rhythm, and belonging.
