Ruk’u’x Kawoq’ is a Mayan name in the K’iche’ language, it means a moment of Creation that unfolds continuously through time and space within the Heartbeat of the Universal Womb… If we would translate this name to English it would be something like “Heart of the Storm of Creation” or “Heart of the Turtle of Creation”. The name speaks about past, present and future time/space continuum all integrated into a system of knowledge on how to live life with an extended awareness of the complex relational aspects of the reality we inhabit and in which we participate by existing on Earth. This energy/knowledge encourages us to walk consciously the path of our Life, caring to be useful participants with clear purpose and the knowing that we Belong to the Earth.

Indigenous words have a wider meaning that is oftentimes impossible to translate by utilising only more words. We need to be able to FEEL the meaning of the Beings we are naming by speaking them into life, we need to develop reciprocal relationships with these beings and integrate the experiences shared in the ways we do life. In this way of communicating with the Living World we reclaim the power of our voice and words as tools of conscious creation with Heart and Soul.
