About this event

Honor the special qualities of this season, bring new awareness to your life, and benefit from the mysterious possibilities of this darkest night of the year.

We will share a potluck meal, gather in circle to hear a sacred Nahua/Aztec story, purge those things from the last 6 months that we no longer need, and share in circle in the presence of Fire on this longest night of the year.

The ceremonies and life-ways of this lineage, based in the Central Highlands of Mexico, are now brought forward throughout the lands by initiated traditional weather workers who help us honor and renew our relationship with the natural cycles in these lands where we live.

This gathering takes place on a mountainside near Asheville in the Weaverville area, at Seeds of Tradition, the home and healing space of weather workers and traditional healers Adam Laufer and Erin Everett. It is led by quiatlzques weather worker and tepahtiani healer Erin Everett, one of the Asheville weather workers in the living, unbroken tradition of Don Lucio Campos Elizalde of Morelos, Mexico.

This ceremony is one embodiment of a prophecy that the Nahua ceremonies will be brought forward to re-enliven human beings and our communities, renewing our relationship with Cycles, Weather, Healing and Sacred Time.

Engaging the sacred fire in the presence of others is one of humanity’s oldest traditions, where people from all walks of life, religions, and traditions are welcome. This traditional ceremony has been passed on through countless generations because it works to align human beings with the sacred cycles.

Frequently asked questions

What is tepahtiani healing?

Nahua healing is an authentic, time-honored spiritual system indigenous to the highlands of Central Mexico. Your healer works in relationship with the healing forces of nature to address the spiritual root causes of illness and imbalance in the hidden layers of a person's body, mind and spirit.

Who does this healing benefit?

Tepahtiani healing is beneficial for physical illnesses and emotional and spiritual issues. Developed out of thousands of years of living, dreaming and engaging with the world and the natural cycles of living, it can bring deep and lasting healing, life-balance and beneficial transformation.

Tell me about this lineage.

The particular lineage of Nahua healing Adam and Erin practice comes through their Granicero or Weather Work tradition. As trained and initiated healers in this lineage, Adam and Erin are each known by the title Tepahtiani. Adam and Erin will tell the story of their tradition at this intro event.

How did they begin to work with weather?

After experiencing life events like a lightning strike, special dreams or strange illnesses, a candidate’s calling to a spiritual path of working with weather is recognized by an acknowledged lineage elder in this ancient tradition. Then, the person is initiated. Adam and Erin were initiated in 2003

How did they become tepahtiani healers?

Becoming a Tepahtiani is a divine calling. Some time after becoming initiated as weather workers, and after proving their devotion and dedication to their work over time, the calling to walk the healing path of this tradition may arise, as it did for both Adam and Erin.

How does a weather worker become a tepahtiani healer?

The journey to become Tepahtiani involves an ancient process of building relationships with sacred medicine sites like mountains and caves and the Clouds, Sun, Rain, Wind, and Lightning. Through this time-honored process, these forces work through the Tepahtiani to bring healing to those in need.

What is weather work?

An ancient indigenous tradition influencing the power of weather continues, and is preparing for the new world of changing climate. Adam and Erin, and their compadres Amy and Douglas Haynes, work in an ancient lineage of people specially called by Weather to be liasons between weather and humans.

Organized by

Seeds of Tradition

As the world around us transforms, we long for stability, hope, purpose and unity. Adam Laufer and Erin Everett are initiated tradition-holders in an ancient and ongoing spiritual tradition of the Nahua indigenous people of the Central Highlands of Mexico. Similar to people involved in sacred ways everywhere, the timeless and practical perspectives and practices of their elders and the world-view of the traditional people who have trained and influenced them have instilled in them a trust for the innate wisdom of the unfolding of life. In these times, as people and our society struggle to find the center amidst great upheaval and change, this husband-wife team based in Asheville, NC offers workshops, events, seasonal ceremonies, and healing sessions to bring us together around what matters most: establishing common ground, awakening purpose and resilience, and living a good human life.

Adam and Erin offer "candle conversations" and other events to connect around these topics.
