We are very excited to invite you to this unique evening with film screening of the impressive documentary - KIVA The Call of the Wisdom Keepers as well as music, meditation and an inspiring dialogue with:
· Lakota Wisdom Keeper and Water Protector Cheryl Angel (USA)
· Film maker Marijke Kodden (The Netherlands)
· Social Entrepreneur Michelle Sutherland (Scotland)
In a world that is becoming increasingly removed from nature and seems out of balance, there is great need and longing for a different perspective, a perspective of healing, harmony and the return to the essence of our nature.
At a time when humanity is confronted with more adversity than ever, this film captures the essence of a unique and ancient ceremony. A ceremony that - after a vision in 1968 - was restored and where leaders of indigenous peoples from all over the world have been uniting for 30 years for Peace, Equality and Reconnection with Mother Earth!
The KIVA ceremony is a collective ‘Call’ from the Original Peoples: they have never lost touch with nature and with their ancient wisdom they can inspire us to a more connected and sustainable way of life! Wisdom that has been known for centuries, but has been lost to the general public.
Because of the moving prayers and the impressive conversations with the Wisdom Keepers – the viewer is invited to reflect upon: how to restore and heal our relationship with the Earth. ‘Because she is crying and is calling her children home!’
It is a final call and invitation from the Indigenous Peoples, which brings hope to all and provides tools on how we can restore the relationship with our Earth Mother and each other!
This is the first time this documentary will be screened in Scotland and please note this is a community event and all money collected is covering the costs of Marijke and Cheryl to be with us and for running the event.
Thank you to the Beith Trust & Geilsland Estate for supporting this community event.
We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
