Toltec Overnight Retreat – Spring Equinox Mitote

Feb 28, 2026 10:08PM ● By Jerome Bilaos

This Spring Equinox, March 21–22, Janet StraightArrow will guide an 18-hour Toltec Mitote ceremony inspired by the teachings of Don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements. The overnight experience is designed to clear outdated patterns and stored emotional energy while expanding awareness through chanting, rest and dreamwork.

A Mitote is a sacred Toltec shamanic ceremony that moves through waking, sleeping and lucid dreaming states. Participants rotate in chanting rounds while others rest in a circle around an indoor fire, supporting energetic release and visionary insight.

StraightArrow began her shamanic path in 1992 and apprenticed with Doña Bernadette, training in Peru, Mexico and New Mexico. She now leads annual Mitote ceremonies for personal breakthrough and renewal.

The retreat begins Saturday at 3 p.m. with preparation and a light meal, followed by the midnight ceremony and sunrise reflection. Fee is $333. A brief call is required prior to registration.
