| The Way Energy Works |
We have worked for the past 10 years, bringing particular Wisdom Keepers and Elders to the forefront, organizing tours, gatherings, teachings, and documenting their work. We recognize the information, experience and medicine these Elders possess, as crucial to the healing of humanity and our planet. The particular Elders depicted in "Journey of Sages" have been prepared by their Elders specifically for this time in history, to co-create with others, new/ancient ceremonies as they also bring fourth best practice, grounded solutions that have worked for centuries.
Through a combination of spiritual and practical solutions, "The Journey of Sages" Tour and Documentary will help to re-awaken the balanced world view needed to ground lasting systemic changes.
Why Elders and Why Now?
In September, 2019, a global council of 150 Elder Wisdom Keepers came together in Nauvoo, IL for an historical gathering. Our task was to come together, to council and pray for the reunification and reconciliation among tribal groups, religions, and divided political and socioeconomic groups. These Elders include Men and Women who have for generations, worked mostly behind the scenes, bringing their knowledge and wisdom to help mitigate the effects of climate change and offer solutions. They often traveled with their own funds to wherever they were needed, freely offering their services.
Now, a Council of Indigenous Grandmothers from that historic gathering, are making preparations to travel around the country, to share best practices, as taught to them by their Elders, beginning with the birthing, raising, educating and mentoring of our children and youth.
The Grandmothers will assist with the shift now happening on our planet. By sharing living practices, born from indigenous worldviews, the Grandmothers will help communities re-learn how to live in balance with the rhythms of life.
Through our Tour and Documentary Series, "A Journey of Sages", The Grandmothers will help people everywhere make the shift away from separation, towards an understanding of the interrelatedness of all things. Away from scarcity, towards understanding and trusting in abundance. Away from thinking life is a series of random coincidences, towards an understanding of the co-creative power of thought.
"A Journey of Sages" will bring forward best practices that will help people shift from human dominance, towards an equality between all aspects of life. As a result of our work, worldviews that encourage hoarding, competition, individualism at the expense of the common good will giveaway to those encourage sharing, concern for the common good, cooperation, and concern for the future impacts of present action.
Our total budget for this film is $500,000. We are seeking $100,000 from supporters, to jumpstart our fundraising efforts and help us put together a stellar professional film crew.
We will use some of that grant money to put together ongoing DJ music events in Southern California, Portland, OR, Seattle and Orcas Island, WA. These music events, led by industry veteran, Clifford Burtley (DJ/Producer, Kwaku) will help us raise funds on a continual basis which we will use to fund the remaining our Journey of Sages Tour and ongoing documentary series.
