We know that this is new age, but a lot of people don't and they're going all over the United States.

The spiritofmaat magazine has been promoting the Russian human trafficking network Ashram Shambala / Universynergy Arts / Aharata / Aharaj Yoga for years.

It may be that the magazine is just completely lacking in discernment regarding who they promote or it may be that there is or was  a cooperative relationships between DM and the Russian network.

This tour is a scam from Cesar Mena Toto, the fraud calling himself Hunbatz Men.

And this "pilgrimage" is literally a circus. From the first link of the thread.

--------
In collaboration with Cirque de Soleil, 'Google', NBC, Santana, Elevate Films, and others, all of the above have come together to sponsor a series of spectacular performances that will carry the seeds that are sown in the soon to be actualized Crystal Skull Ceremonies to hearts and minds all over the planet.

Throughout 2012, on the March 21st Spring Equinox, the June 21st Summer Solstice, and the September 21st, Autumn Equinox, Cirque de Soleil will present special performances with themes that embody the wisdom of the ancients, the secrets of the Great Shift of the Ages, and the connection between the mysteries of the heart and the awakening of human consciousness. At the heart of each performance will be the wish to open the mind and the heart of humanity to the Ascension process, and to the prospect of a beautiful future in a whole new world.

This series of blockbuster performances will culminate in a fourth mega-event that will broadcast live, from the Great Pyramid at Chichen Itza on the 2012 Winter Solstice. On that night Cirque de Soleil will take over the entire Chichen Itza Temple complex. The Chichen Itza Pyramid will be transformed into a stage, upon which the artists and performers of the Cirque de Soleil will work their incredible magic. Carlos Santana, the man who has been a clear channel for the Music of the Spheres for over fifty-years, will be the Master of Ceremonies for the main event. If that isn't enough, the Winter Solstice show will include an unprecedented, full regalia ceremony with the Mayan Elders. Yes, that's right folks; the Elders will be there too; they are coming down from the mountains to be part of this.

Cirque de Soleil fascinate me.

They have transformed from an incredibly skilled cutting edge circus act into a burlesque / adult entertainment act* and now they are involved with dodgy plastic shamans.


I wonder what does it all mean?

I don't see anything on Cirque du Soleil's website about this.

Though I do see this http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/totem/default.aspx with Indian imagery  :(

I don't even see Carlos Santana associated with it. He has a new age website http://aoand.com/ that is advertising this but it doesn't indicate he is involved. Looks like anyone can join and post.
