Day Out of Time Celebration
25 July 2014, 10.00 - 23.00
Day Out of Time is the culmination of the 13 Moon Calendar year originated from the Mayan science of time. On July 25th, Sirius (the dog star) rises with the sun. This day is observed as a day free of time in the 13 Moon Calendar. It is a day of reverence and cultural appreciation for the concept 'Time is Art.' This 'free day' is the closing of 13x28=364 days year.
The 13 Moon Calendar is a Solar, Lunar, Galactic calendar that measures time from a 4th dimensional quantitative and qualitative perspective, revealing the synchronic and cyclical nature of time. It is comprised of thirteen 28 day months, just as there are 13 lunations in a solar year. This calendar respects the feminine aspects of nature and integrates them in the reckoning of time. It attunes and aligns us with our environment.
The Gregorian Calendar is a political calendar of taxation and war derived from Babylonian timekeeping, and instated by the Vatican as a correction to the Julian calendar, which failed to account adequately for the solar year. The Gregorian too, fails to equal the mathematical superiority of the Mayan timekeepers in regards to its accuracy, but even worse, it regards time as linear like it's predecessor. Its measure is based on the 12:30 ratio, which measures time as space and eliminates the integration of the 13 moons with the solar year.
What seems a harmless oversight, in fact has a tremendous effect on the consciousness of humanity. Operating in an irregular and uneven shuffle of months, with no recognition of the symbols from which it is derived, time can only be viewed as limited.
Day Out of Time is celebrated the world over by people of all cultures who recognize the importance of a natural reckoning of time. The activities and events on the Day Out of Time are mainly determined by the participants in their respective localities. The theme of the Day Out of Time however, is universal. A day of reverence and respect for all life, a dedication to the beauty of eternal time, and an outreach of cultural and community exchange and education relative to the concept of natural time. In short, it's a day to recognize unity and encourage awareness of the importance of our eternal time. It has been celebrated annually since 1992.*

The entrance to the event is free, but we ask a fee for the Body Painting Ritual and Sweatlodge Ceremony (for the details see the pages of these events).
