SPECIAL EVENT {MUST PURCHASE TICKET TO ATTEND IN ADVANCE}

Whispers of the Ancients: A Ceremony of the Sacred Elements

Tuesday, May 27th from 4 PM – 7 PM

An Evening of Ritual, Remembrance, and Reciprocity: Join Grandmother Taiha-Moetu, Grandmother Hato, and Grandmother Heather for an intimate ceremonial gathering that honors the sacred breath of life in all its elemental forms. In the heart of the redwoods, surrounded by Earth’s beauty, we will come together in circle to offer prayers, remember our ancestors, and deepen our connection to the living world through ritual and song.

Ceremonial Offerings – Honoring the Four Sacred Elements You are invited to bring a meaningful offering that holds personal or ancestral significance:

Earth – soil or stones from your homeland or a place you hold dear
Water – from a spring, stream, ocean, or rain you feel connected to
Fire – ash from a sacred fire, candle, or transformational moment
Air/Intention – your breath, voice, prayer, or written words

Together, we will co-create a ceremonial altar, offering our gifts and intentions in sacred reciprocity. These elements will be blessed and infused with ancestral prayers throughout the evening. Water Blessing for Humanity – Beside the River. As the waters of the river flow endlessly to nourish the Earth, we will gather by its edge for a sacred Water Blessing Ceremony. In this gentle and reverent moment, we will:

Offer prayers for humanity’s healing, unity, and renewal
Sing to the water, guided by ancient chants and songs
Bless the river with gratitude and speak our hopes into its currents
Release tears, intentions, and stories as acts of love and remembrance

This sacred act is a prayer for all of humanity—may the waters cleanse what is heavy, restore what is broken, and carry forward our collective dreams for peace and healing. “The river doesn’t ask where you’ve been, only that you remember how to flow again.” “The seed remembers. The earth remembers. Let us remember too.” Remembering Through the Elements through guided ceremony, movement, and ancestral wisdom, we will:

Honor the four sacred elements as ancient guides
Weave songs and stories from the lands of Aotearoa and the Americas
Invite healing, remembrance, and awakening for ourselves and the Earth

If you wish to share the story of your earth, water, or ash offering ahead of time, please email Heather at: Heather@followthegoldenpath.org

Come, dear ones, to reconnect with the sacred threads that bind us to land, lineage, and love. Let your prayers rise with the wind, your dreams root in the earth, your voice bless the waters, and your spirit be nourished by fire and community. This event is hosted by Grandmother Flordemayo, The Path, and Love and Light, and cohosted by The Center for Sacred Studies

Travel & Event Disclosure – May 2025 Gatherings

In light of the evolving travel policies under the new U.S. administration and the global context of international movement, we want to provide transparency regarding our upcoming May 2025 events featuring Indigenous Wisdom Keepers traveling from Aotearoa (New Zealand).

Airline tickets have been secured and travel visas have been approved. At this time, we do not anticipate any difficulties with their arrival or participation. However, should any unforeseen travel restrictions or administrative changes arise that impact our guests’ ability to enter the United States, The Path reserves the right to transition the gathering to a virtual format to honor the sacred teachings and ensure the continuity of our collective experience.

Please note that all ticket sales are final and non-refundable. In the event of a shift to an online experience, your ticket will automatically grant you access to the virtual gathering, along with recordings and any materials prepared by our visiting Elders.

We appreciate your understanding and support in holding space for global wisdom in these complex times.

Your investment in this event supports our efforts to bring Indigenous Elders from around the world and fosters community connections. We aim to make our events inclusive and encourage reciprocity. If ticket prices are a concern, please reach out to Heather via email at info@followthegoldenpath.org or via text at (208) 631 - 7876 , to explore other options. Your participation not only benefits your local community but also supports reciprocity among diverse communities.
