| Trecena of 1 Cauac
 Read the MCP blogs | The Trecena of Rainstorms Welcome to the third issue of El Quetzal. Today we plunge into the 7th trecena of the current Tzolk'in round, the trecena of 1 Cauac. Cauac means "Rainstorm", bringing forth the blessings of life-giving waters, of warmth and comfort, but also the potential for torrential downpours, sweeping winds, and floods that can erode entire cities, relationships or histories. These are the vast and overwhelming forces of nature, whether human, animal or planetary, that are at once simple and complex, violent and compassionate, that meander and rush through, that deplete and nurture. Respect their power and their fragility, their strength and their softness. They are a part of you as they are a part of our planet. The previous trecena helped steady your ship through the storms of life. This one will put you face to face with your own personal rainstorms. If you’d like to travel the daily journeys of each Trecena with the rest of the Mayan Calendar Portal community, join us online on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. Write to us, let us know whether these energies resonate with you. And on this eve of the sacred holiday of Thanksgiving, may you and your families and friends receive the blessing of good health, good food, and joy. The Mayan Calendar Portal Marketplace set to launch early 2010 After many weeks of long nights, overused neural circuits, and lots of organic almonds and chocolate, we are delighted to confirm the imminent launch of the Mayan Calendar Portal Marketplace, which many of you have been inquiring about. The launch is being prepared for early 2010, with an initial membership application period. The MCP Marketplace will open up a space on the Mayan Calendar Portal where businesses, non profit organizations, and individual artists and professionals can display their services and products, and the entire Mayan Calendar community can interconnect on a collaborative economic platform built upon the concepts embedded in the Sacred Mayan Calendar: sustainability, spirituality and natural abundance. As we get closer to the launch, we’ll send more details on how to become a member of the Marketplace. In the meantime, if you’d like to receive the materials in advance, please email us, or forward this on to friends or colleagues you feel might be interested. New Video Interviews on 2012 Several weeks ago, French-American author and video journalist Lilou Mace contacted us with a request to schedule a series of video interviews with experts from the Mayan Calendar Portal community, on the topic of the 2012 phenomenon. The first two video interviews that Lilou has conducted, have now been published online: Dr. Carl Calleman, part 1 and part 2 and Professor Robert Sitler of Stetson University. More interviews are to come in the next newsletter, so be sure to watch your mailbox thirteen days from now! 2012 Citizen Movie Reviews now online Last trecena, we asked those of you planning to see the 2012 movie to submit your reviews, and you responded! And with plenty of passion. The first wave of citizen movie reviews has now been published on the site: click here to read the reviews. If you still have not seen the film, and wonder if it's even worth it to spend the $10, remember that we are planning to send all of the reviews directly to the director and SONY Pictures, so that your voices and your opinions can be heard loud and clear. If you want to send a message to Hollywood and ask them to start making movies worth watching, this is one way to do it. The more detailed and well-thought-out the reviews, the greater chance we all have in having a say in Hollywood's interpretation of 2012.
