A Gathering of Elders & Wisdomkeepers
May 4th, 2025
11:30a – 1:30p PT (find your timezone here)
ALL WELCOME!

This is the time of purification for Mother Earth. She must purify herself of those things that threaten her life, and she is doing it through fires, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, exotic diseases, and the like. She is not doing it to punish us. It is something she must do to cleanse herself of dis-ease. She has lived for billions of years and will live for billions more. She knows what she must do. She doesn’t need us humans to save her. She is providing instructions on how we humans can coexist harmoniously with her and all living beings. Now is the time to listen.
We are all being called to wake up as real human beings inside and out. The Elders say that the most unselfish thing we can do right now is to heal ourselves. Don Alejandro, who was the keeper of the Mayans’ day calendar, told me that the people who will negotiate these times the best will be people of the fire, which means people of the heart. If we can listen to what our hearts are telling us now, we will know what we must do Now.
Elders from throughout the world will come together in a Zoom gathering on May 4 to talk about what they see happening in the world now and what we must do now. Everyone is welcome to listen.
– Ilarion, Kuuyux, Merculieff
