Ostermärsche: Friedensbewegung protestiert gegen Bundeswehreinsätze
Die Friedensbewegung wendet sich bei ihren Ostermärschen in diesem Jahr gegen die Auslandseinsätze der Bundeswehr und warnt vor einem Krieg gegen Iran. Besondere Kritik richte sich gegen die Entsendung der deutschen "Tornado"-Aufklärungsflugzeuge, teilte das Netzwerk Friedenskooperative am Mittwoch in Bonn mit. Bei den Ostermärschen wird auch für eine Beteiligung an den Protestaktionen zum G8-Gipfel Anfang Juni in Heiligendamm geworben.

WE, THE INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF THIRTEEN INDIGENOUS GRANDMOTHERS, represent a global alliance of prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth, all Her inhabitants, all the children, and for the next seven generations to come. We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction of our Mother Earth and the destruction of indigenous ways of life. We believe the teachings of our ancestors will light our way through an uncertain future. We look to further our vision through the realization of projects that protect our diverse cultures: lands, medicines, language and ceremonial ways of prayer and through projects that educate and nurture our children.

Elders Gathering at Lake Titicaca, Peru March 16 – 23, 2007

An incredible event will take place in Peru over the Spring Equinox 2007. Elders from Indigenous tribes of the Americas will gather at Lake Titicaca to council and listen to our Mother Earth, the Pachamama, and perform ceremony and ritual that will beckon in the prophesied Age of Peace, 500 years of unity and shared vision between peoples who have, for the last 500 years of Darkness, been scattered and oppressed. When the peoples of the Americas once again unite, the prophecy states, it will create worldwide transformation, allowing all of humanity to move from the depths of war into the light of peace.

Elders of Peru, keepers of this Incan vision, say that it is time for the Condor (South America) to reunite with the Eagle (North and Central America). Their mission is to formally and ritually bind the Indigenous tribes across the Americas together, for when these, the gatekeepers of our land, speak as One, the energy of their shared vision will spread to all of the tribes of Earth.

Rituals and ceremony for healing the suffering carried by the People is a vital aspect of this work, for only through forgiveness and deep healing can the Age of Darkness truly be released and the Age of Peace be welcomed in its place. When this is accomplished, the prize is a deeper and more lasting peace than many of us have ever known. It is world- changing when barriers of separation are dropped, the past is forgiven, and the People stand as One. It is the destiny of the Americas to begin this blessed transformation on the Spring Equinox 2007.

Elders from all tribes are being called to participate in this extraordinary, historic and profound event! Some will travel to Peru in March for Council and ceremony in person. Others will stay on their own land, using ritual and ceremony to anchor the energies of healing and unity over all the power places on Earth. Many will offer bundles and resolutions, stating the fulfillment of their own tribal prophecies and pledging unity with those in Peru who are bringing this vision to life. All peoples are invited to pray and heal themselves during this time, wherever they may be.

The Elders, Wisdom Keepers, Medicine People and Historians need our support to bring about this sacred transition for Earth and Humanity. Prayers and intentions are the most important contribution anyone can make, and these are asked of anyone whose heart longs for peace and unity. The gathering will be supported by participants from around the world and will also serve as a forum for cultural exchange and teaching as well cultural arts performances, such as the Eagle and Condor dances.

Earth Works for Humanity/Institute for Cultural Awareness is a 501c (3) non-profit organization coordinating the Eagle tribes of North and Central America. For more information about participating in the gathering or offering financial support to the Elders, please visit www.earthworksforhu manity.org or call (928) 646-3000.

To Whom It May Concern:

Earth Works for Humanity is honored to be the coordinating organization for the Eagle tribes of North and Central America who will be traveling to the Elders Gathering at Lake Titicaca, Peru, over the Spring Equinox,
2007. As a part of The Institute for Cultural Awareness (ICA, an 18 year-old, 501c (3) non-profit organization) , we are dedicated to providing a safe and healthy environment for cultural exchange and healing, bridging the gap between Elders and the children and creating Peace throughout the world. We are excited about this Elders Gathering and its mission to unite the Tribes of the Americas. We share the desire for peace and unity.

It is part of Earth Works for Humanity's mission to provide all funding necessary for honored Elders to travel and participate in ceremonies like this one. It is estimated that 50-60 Elders will gather in Peru, and it is our intention to fully support them and their important work by raising the funds necessary for their travel, lodging, meals, and other associated expenses.

We ask for your financial support. The estimated cost for each Elder is $3,500. Please support the Elders and the cause of Peace by returning the attached form, indicating the number of Elders you will be sponsoring, along with your donation. If you would like your organization to become a sponsor of this event, please let us know so we can include you in our written materials.

We are also asking all Indigenous communities of the Americas to join with us in Spirit at Lake Titicaca by offering declarations of support for the intention of unity throughout the Americas. Each tribe's resolution will be brought to the Gathering and incorporated into the ceremonies, linking your community to the whole. In addition, many simultaneous ceremonies will be held throughout the world on March 21, the Spring Equinox. If you are interested in coordinating a local gathering, please let us know.

Thank you for your support of Peace and Unity.

Spiritual Warrior


Life offers us the opportunity to become a Spiritual Warrior.
A warrior is one who bravely goes into those dark areas within
themselves to ferret out the Truth of their being.
It takes great courage, stamina and endurance to
become a Spiritual Warrior.
The path is narrow, the terrain rough and rocky.
You will walk alone: through the dark caves,
up those steep climbs and through the dense thick forest.
You will meet your dark side. The faces of fear, deceit, and
sadness all await your arrival.
No one can take this journey but you.
There comes a time, in each of our lives,
when we are given the choice to follow this path.
Should we decide to embark on this journey,
we can never turn back.... Our lives are changed forever
On this journey, there are many different places we can
choose to slip into and hide. But the path goes on.
The Spiritual Warrior stays the course, wounded at times,
exhausted and out of energy. Many times, the Warrior will
struggle back to their feet to take only a few steps before
falling again.
Rested, they forge on,
continuing the treacherous path.
The journey continues. The Spiritual Warrior
stays the course. Weakened, but never broken.
One day, the battle, loneliness and desperate fights are over.
The sun breaks through the clouds; the birds begin to sing
their sweet melodies. There is a change in the energy.
A deep change within the self.
The warrior has fought the courageous fight.
The battle of the dark night of the soul is won.
New energy now fills the Warrior.
A new path is now laid before them.
A gentler path filled with the inner-knowing
of one who has personal empowerment.
With their personal battle won, they are filled with joy.
A new awareness that they are one with the Spirit beams
as they go forth to show others the way.
They are not permitted to walk the path for others.
They can only love, guide and be a living example
of the Truth of their being
