Mats, pillows, and blankets are provided. Plan to arrive early, as late entry is not permitted. Ticket options accommodate those who already have one or both stones or prefer to have them included.

Spend an afternoon in thoughtful exploration with don Miguel Ruiz Jr. as he weaves together insights from The Four Agreements and the teachings in his new book, The Poisoned Arrow. The experience centers on how unseen agreements and learned fears shape identity, choices, and relationships, and how mindful awareness can open the way to greater freedom, authenticity, and peace. Through The Four Agreements, he illuminates how limiting beliefs take hold and how four clear commitments can serve as steady guides for a life rooted in love and happiness. Building on that foundation, The Poisoned Arrow looks closely at a subtle fear that often passes for personality, showing up as hesitation, shrinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or silence. Rather than battling fear or trying to erase it, the focus is on recognizing it without judgment and choosing differently even while it is present. This is not an invitation to become fearless. It is an invitation to become free. Participants can expect to examine how unconscious commitments write the story lived each day, where psychological fear hides inside seemingly reasonable decisions, and a Toltec approach to observing the mind so fear is witnessed without becoming it. The conversation also explores how to distinguish inherited beliefs from an authentic inner voice, why discomfort can signal real healing rather than failure, and what it means to remove the metaphorical arrow instead of merely soothing the pain. Key takeaways include noticing when identity is confused with knowledge, seeing how agreements have shaped lived reality, releasing the fear of who you are without old beliefs, crafting a more satisfying personal narrative, and forming new agreements aligned with an authentic self. About the speaker: don Miguel Ruiz Jr. began apprenticing at age 14 with his father, don Miguel Ruiz Sr., and his grandmother, Madre Sarita, translating her prayers, lectures, and workshops, which deepened his understanding of their teachings in both languages. Years of training strengthened his appreciation for faith and culminated in guidance from his father to find his own path and fully embrace life. As a Nagual, he now shares the wisdom and tools of his family’s tradition to support others in cultivating personal freedom and spiritual well-being.
