On his website, Gómora promotes seminars either in Europe or in Mexico, albeit with a very general description. European seminars are offered either for weekends, or for seven days, with an "individual concept possible". The seminars in Mexico are said to last four to ten days and also offer the possibility of an individual concept.<ref>www.xoko.org/ accessed 02/04/2014</ref>

Other seminars advertised were e.g. on "Divine Dualism" in May 2012.<ref>http://www.nahael.de/Special_Blog?id=7 accessed 02/04/2014</ref> A meanwhile neglected earlier website kept by or for Gómora also advertises seminars in Europe on ''"the history and ancient wisdom of the Maya"'', as well as ''"drumming seminars, ancient wisdom of medicine and herbal lore, sweatlodge with aura cleansing."''<ref>xokonoschtletl.xo.funpic.de/aufgaben.html accessed 02/04/2014</ref> It must be pointed out that, apart from employing several Newage catchwords, the advertised "aura cleansing" does not belong to indigenous spiritual practices. Although sweat houses were known in Meso-America, their use does not seem to have been a spiritual ceremony, as is the case with various North-American indigenous ethnic groups. It is likewise noteworthy that Gómora offers seminars on history and "ancient wisdom" of the Maya in 2012.

Seminars advertised in 2012 e.g. were titled ''"Traditional Medicine and Rituals of Cleansings of the Aztecs"'', contents covered: ''"the meaning of the Aztec calendar - the symbol of death - the symbol of the sacred circle, of numbers and colours - views of a savage - learning to be a part of nature - philosophy and legends of the Aztecs (oral tradition)."''
