Hi there,
I just signed up for the first Virtual Council with the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. It's an unprecedented gathering with some of our world's wisest elders in dialogue and prayer focused on healing our planet!
International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers Sign up today
The more people that join the call, the greater the power of the blessings we can send out. Should be fantastic, so I hope you can join in!

The Challenge
I challenge you, by Mystery and by Majick, to become the person
you were meant to be -
to cherish the sacred earth -
to honor the blowing winds -
to nourish the healing fire -
to drink deeply of the living waters.
I challenge you to live LIfe more fully -
to awaken to the infinite possibilities around you -
to know that you are the only limiting factor in your life.
I challgenge you to free yourself from both nation and race -
to recognize all humanss as your family -
to know that war is not the answer.
I challenge you to become more aware of the other-than-human beings -
to share habitat and nourishment with them -
to acknowledge them as your teachers.
I challenge you to truly view this planet Earth as a living organism -
to understand that She is divine, as are all living things -
to find your purpose in relation to Her's.
In time to come there will be darkness and dissolution,
There will be raging anger, pain, and deprivation,
There will be loss and there will be violent death.
I challenge you to continue in your chosen path, living joyously.
Be deaf to the words of the unawakened;
lest they give you unease.
Let not fear immobilize you,
nor despair make you weak,
For the Eternal Ones are with you, now and forevermore.
