2. Diet: In the 30 days before the Dance, It’s important to prepare for fasting, so avoid the consumption of salt, sugar, coffee, fats, and meat. Eat more vegetables, fruits, and seeds, and balance your protein intake with fish, legumes, soy, and mushrooms for good nourishment and energy.

4. The Prayers: “Prayer’s tie” those are handcrafted prayers made with different fabric colors in which there is tobacco, copal and herbs. Each prayer carries your intention while working within the Moon Dance Circle (We need to craft 52 prayers, 13 for each color: Yellow, Red, Blue and White) (You can get more details ones you register).

5. Water: Increase your water consumption a month before the dance, so you can be properly hydrated. Staying well hydrated is essential for proper brain oxygenation (remember there will be eight Sweatlodges over the four days, which can cause dehydration).

6. Sexual abstinence: When having sexual interaction, it remains certain energetic layers that can block the solar plexus and a greater connection with the Grandmother Moon and Mother Earth, that’s why It is recommended min 14-day abstinence; if you have multiple partners, aim for 28 days.

1. Your offerings: Tobacco and Copal: In many indigenous cultures they use as we use in México the offering of copal and tobacco as an spiritual gift to receive the teachings that you will receive from all the elders, Those will be delivered to the grandmother Lupita and to Brenda Miquiztli on the first day of the Dance wrapped in a red cloth at the indicated moment before we start our dance (Those offerings will be used during the four nights of work (Tobacco and copal are medicines that connect us to the spirit and energetic layers of reality) and its a spiritual way to communicate between us and you can buy from internet.

2. Sweatlodge: It is mandatory to participate in the 8 Sweatlodges during the Dance, since this medicine is a fundamental complement to our Circle, which will provide you with the necessary strength to sustain the prayer (We only do 2 short doors per sweat lodge, so those are not as long as a normal 4 doors sweatlodges).

3. Clothes: A special attire is required for the dance. This is a lunar outfit, white and blue. It symbolizes the movement of water and purity, honoring the movement of the mother earth with our father sun and its principal events.
