A Four Directions call for...
International Day of Peace
"We are the ones we have waited for"
May Peace Prevail on Earth
International Day of Peace Vigil
In 1981, the United Nations General Assembly established the International day of Peace (IDP). It was in 2001, that the GA modified the resolution (A/RES/55/282) and designated September 21st as the annual date of the International Day of Peace.
The intention of the resolution is to have the entire world observe a day of peace and nonviolence. All peoples and organizations are invited to commemorate the day in an appropriate manner.
An ever-expanding number of people worldwide, representing a wide variety of religious and spiritual traditions, have committed to the task of working with other like-minded individuals and groups for an International Day of Peace Vigil with the following objective:
"To encourage worldwide, 24-hour spiritual observations for peace and nonviolence on the International Day of Peace, 21 September in every house of worship and place of spiritual practice, by all religious and spiritually based groups and individuals, and by all men, women and children who seek peace in the world."
This global 24-hour spiritual observation for peace is meant to demonstrate the power of prayer and other spiritual practices in promoting peace and preventing violent conflict. These worldwide spiritual observances will also help raise public awareness of the International Day of Peace and directly support the establishment of a global ceasefire. Individuals and groups are invited to support this worldwide initiative by committing to hold a 24-hour vigil on 21 September. www.idpvigil.org

Saugerties, NY
ANDREA GOULD, “Life
Transitions: Walking the Road Not Yet Traveled”
at Miriam’s Well in Saugerties. When life signals that it’s time to move on, we
experience a natural process of disorientation and reorientation as we leave
behind our comfort zones and adjust to new ways of living. How we perceive these
interludes determines how we proceed through them. A
reflective weekend experience in supportive surroundings, to explore and
illuminate the personal life transition on your own horizon and how you might
rise graciously to its challenge.
Andrea S. Gould, PhD, a psychologist in private practice and President of Lucid Learning Systems, counsels individuals in making the changes necessary to consciously transform their lives. For more info: www.miriamswell.org. To register, link to presenter’s website from the Miriam’s Well site.

Standing Stone Ceremony
Monterey, Tennessee
The Standing Stone, an eight-foot tall rock standing upright on a sandstone ledge, was used as a boundary line between two separate Indian nations. When the rock fell, the Indians placed a portion of it upon an improvised monument to preserve it. The stone is still preserved in Monterey, Tennessee. The ceremony will commemorate the tribes who lived in this area.
Storytellers, drummers, dancers and vendors are welcome.

The Return of the Ancestors Gathering
Northern Arizona April 18 - 28, 2009
A historic International multicultural gathering and sacred pilgrimage welcomes Indigenous Elders and Future Wisdom Keepers representing the seven continents of Mother Earth, beginning Earth Day weekend, April 18-28, 2009 throughout Northern Arizona. The intention is to unite and share their visions and prophesized ceremonies of 500 years of peace and harmony for Mother Earth and all humanity.
The goal of the Institute for Cultural Awareness is to sponsor 72 or more global spiritual/cultural leaders and at least 28 youth council leaders from around the world. These Wisdom Keepers will share a harvest of harmonic wisdom and understandings that will enable the world to fulfill the prophecies of the ancestors. This gathering’s commitment to ceremony, as a focal point, offers young spiritual men and women of the world the privilege to witness councils sharing their original teachings and wisdom from the ancestors; fulfilling our spiritual purpose, thus birthing clear decisions and manifesting a conduit of hope for the future wisdom keepers of the world.
Humanity has waited for the day of peace and harmony in this world for thousands of years. We are moving in a new direction for present civilizations to reawaken and heal our ancestral memories to the fullest potentials. The time has come for each individual to look for the healing of their Ancestral memories, for a new direction to move forward. Through reconnection to all of the ancestral memories, the seen and unseen from the past, present and future unfold. A proclamation will be made for the ancestral memories to be healed for all time and space.
We are now living in a time of our truth and an intertwined field of destiny mending the circle of life. Let us look at the truth: the tree of life, the seed of life, the flower of life. The world has awaited a renewed life’s plan; the next 500 year prophesy calendar. The ancestors left all Nations with specific instructions and responsibilities to live by. Destiny brings us all to this point in time. The men and women of wisdom have returned. History and Herstory is unfolding in front of our very own eyes.
Wisdom Keepers and Youth Councils are being called to participate in this historic and extraordinary event. We truly believe that each participant and pilgrim will witness and experience a spiritual epiphany of profound proportions. Through humanity’s enlightenment, once again we will live in balance and harmony with Mother Earth. All is in divine timing!
One Mayan prophecy states, “At the time of the 13 Baktun and 13 Ahau is the time of the return of our Ancestors and the return of the men of wisdom.” “That time is now,” says Grandfather Alejandro Cirilo Oxlaj, President of the National Mayan Council of Elders of Guatemala.
The Institute for Cultural Awareness is a 501c (3) non-profit cooperation coordinating this monumental gathering. The vision of ICA is strong and motivated with a desire to build a better future for our children. Your support will provide a firm foundation to create a broader expression of service for humanity.
Our goal is to raise 1.5 million dollars for the Return of the Ancestors Gathering. To learn more about how you can support ICA and the preparations for this gathering, please feel free to contact ICA directly at 928-646-3000 or visit our website: www.ica8.org
