Vince Chafin
Sacred Breath, our connection to all life ... the first step on the flute journey.
In our hurried lives, we often forget to do the one thing that can have the greatest benefit to our physical,
emotional and spiritual health: Breathing.
Breathing with Intention helps you to relax and reduces stress, improves your skin tone and helps you sleep better.
Some studies have even shown that improved breathing helps in losing weight!
By playing the flute, we breathe through our instrument bringing healing to the world,
and in turn, health and healing to ourselves. Join us as we begin this Sacred Journey.

Xavier Quijas Yxayotl
My indigenous name is "Yxayotl", which in Nahuatl means tears. In 1977 during a peyote ceremony, an old Shaman from the Huichol tribe, Don Jose Matsuwa, gave me that name.
After researching the museums and private collections for Mayan and Aztec drums and flutes, Tarahumara drums, turtle shells, rain sticks, Teponaxtli log drums, Mayan ocean drums, rattles, gourds, and many others, I have been able to reproduce these beautiful instruments. I brought the clay Mayan and Aztec double and triple flutes here to this country expressly to share this knowledge of the ancestors. The road traveled has not always been easy, but this music and my art "is my reason to live".
