Join us for A Retreat with Traditional Elders and Indigenous Wisdom Keepers


Elders from around the world gather... 
re-discover the sacred at this powerful retreat.
 
Ancient Wisdom Rising 2012 brings elders from the world's four directions to relate experiences and traditional knowledge in support of bringing us back into right relationship with the world.  

Each elder knows the importance of keeping their wisdom and knowledge alive - especially during these times. It is essential to the health of the earth and to all children's futures.  
 
We will gather with elders from the Muscogee (Creek), Aleut (Alaskan), Cherokee, Bon (Tibetan Buddhist), Dine' (Navajo), West African (Dagara), and Pakistan Sufi traditions in a unique, intimate setting around sacred fire that will burn for three days. 
 
Join hundreds of people and discover something  deeper for presentations, ceremonies, stories and participatory workshops.

Restore your life's balance by igniting a heart-centered way of relating to others, your community and our living Earth.

Return home bearing gifts of wisdom, compassion and new relationship with the sacredness of all creation.

Retreat Lodging from $25 per night! 
Full 3 Days with meals $495 ~ 1 Day with meals $195 

3 Nights Lodging: $75/Quad, $135/Double (Singles available)

The Impact
"I felt a flood of inner peace with the realization that I had finally found my roots." -Natalie

"I think of my journey through life, through love, grief and joy, the miracle that brings me to this place. Now, with my heart opened, I know we are all connected, that I am connected with my ancestral heart, with the gifts and work of my life, and forward into the hearts of my children's children's children. " -Jennifer
