Descripción de la sesión

Únase a nosotros para una sesión con el Guardián de la tradición Mexica, Xólotl. En nuestra cosmovisión, el camino del ser humano en el mundo náhuatl comienza desde su origen. Hablaré de los fundamentos de la lengua náhuatl. También hablaré de cómo la danza y su integración de elementos que hacen y permiten vivir una manera distinta de ver al mundo. Nuestra tradición está basada en la observación de la matemática cósmica y las cuentas calendáricas que influyen en la existencia del ser. Aterrizando en una resignificación interesante de nuestra cultura.

Esta sesión se ofrecerá en español con subtítulos en inglés e interpretacíon simultánea.
