Ancient Wisdom Rising May 19, 2011

Thursday, May 19, 1:00 PM - Sunday, May 22, 4:00 PM

Times are changing, things can seem out of control. Many people are seeking authentic ways of living that are simpler, sustainable, more full of joy and meaning. With the future uncertain, more and more people are finding answers in the wisdom of the past.

Ancient Wisdom Rising will change the way you relate to the world.

In earliest times, all people experienced the world as literally alive with spirit. Our ancestors' stories, songs and ceremonies wove deep reciprocal connections between earth and sky, fire and water, plants and animals, family and community. Learning and keeping the traditional way was a responsibility and privilege that kept the earth healthy, vibrant and in balance.

Ancient Wisdom Rising offers the chance to remember these ways once again.

Seven Elders, from the world's four directions, will impart experiences and traditional knowledge, sharing teachings, stories and ceremonies from traditions that have guided people for thousands of years.

Join us and make connection with:
- Sobonfu Some' (Dagara), Keeper of the Rituals from West Africa's Burkina Faso
- Eliot Cowan, Initiated Tsuarririkame (shaman) of Mexico's Huichol Indians
- Kawan Sangaa "Woody" Morrison (Haida), History Keeper & storyteller from BC
- Shri Vivek Godbole (Vedic), Hindu priest and ceremonial leader from India
- Erick Gonzalez (Mayan), Daykeeper of the Cakchikel Maya of Guatemala
- Grandmother Sara (Mohawk Turtle Clan), Peacekeeper from Iroquois Six Nations
- Raina Ferris (Maori), Ceremonial leader and Karanga singer from New Zealand

At this gathering you will hear the ancestors' voices in these times, from elders who are keeping the traditions alive. Perhaps we'll begin to see that there are other ways to be, other choices to make, and that a deeper world of wisdom is still available to us.

Join us. Deepen your connection with our Earth...and our future.
