Meeting of the Ancestral Traditions: 150 delegations from 5 continents will gather

Our ” Mother Earth ” in distress calls for
A Gathering of the Ancestral Traditions.
(150 delegations from 5 continents will join)
For 4 days and 4 nights of ceremonies dedicated to World Peace
And to the reconnection of Humanity to the Heart Energy!

The state of emergency doesn’t allow public meetings without appropriate security measures.The police prefecture does not bestow us the required authorizations to organize our shamanism festival.
Nevertheless, in view of the despair and suffering of the planet and its humanity, the Wisdom Council of Ancestral Knowledges has decided in plenary session, to maintain this gathering from the 5 continents but without public ! During 4 days and 4 nights, from April 28th to May 1st, there will be ceremonies dedicated to Peace on Earth and reconnection with the Heart Energies, and from this great gathering a DVD will be issued to spread across the whole planet.

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Humanity,

The council of the Circle of Wisdom of the Union of Ancestral Traditions came together on November, Tuesday 24th and Wednesday 25th.

The violent events in France provoked a response from government which decreed the state of emergency. This has for consequence a ban of all public demonstrations taking place outside of protected enclosures. However, police commissioners can allow an event under condition of drastic security measures.
Our Shamanism festival which welcomes thousands of visitors each year takes place on several hectares in an open nature does not meet the exceptional security requirements! The police commissioner for the department therefore can not allow our event.
On our side, we can’t wait for the end of the state of emergency to launch our organization and logistics for the festival, especially as this situation might be extended by the government.

Several alternatives were presented to us:

• Cancel our meeting and postpone it until next year,
• Find another place (where we would be faced with the same requirements),
• Do the festival in another French-speaking country,
• Maintain our meeting in an enclosed space, like a congress hall.

Our wisdom was tested. After lengthy interventions from all present council members and after the celebration of a ceremony in the night of November 24th, the council could take its decision unanimously on the next day, November 25th.
Inspired by the Ancestors of our lineages the sisters and brothers decided to maintain the 9th Gathering of the Shamans from the five continents, exceptionnally without public participation.

It seemed essential to us to get together and unite for four days to celebrate Peace and Love.
This frazzled and tired world is counting on our strength and our consciousness. The planet is worn out by the human thoughtlessness, consciences wounded by fundamentalists of thought await an awakening of humankind. Fear which nibbles at each cell of our humanity has to be transformed into trust.

The Shamans, carriers of their traditions, have always been symbol of a free spirituality, free from all dogmas all the while remaining connected to the forces of nature. Their primary function is to participate in the world’s balance with the powers behind it. The urgency requires us to fulfill together our primary function.

The time has finally come to find ourselves united in order to share our wisdom, our teachings and our ceremonies in the interest of our suffering humanity.

So we have decided to maintain our gathering on the same dates.
All planned guests of the 9th Festival program are invited to this gathering to demonstrate our peaceful but voluntary determination to restore Peace, Love and Wisdom to this dying humanity.

The time for benevolence is no longer a luxury but a vital necessity! Love becomes a political act, socially and economically which can reverse the inevitability of destruction and death.

Many shamans from the five continents alert their brothers and sisters before the impending environmental, humanistic and spiritual disaster.
The latest dramatic events in France and Africa generate cries and tears.
Some, in the streets of Paris, were singing “get your weapons, citizens ….”
We beholders of Ancestral Traditions sing “Peace, Love and Wisdom.”
May this Medicine song resonates with determination!

From Thursday, April 28th to Sunday, May 1st, 2016 will take place in France, the largest Shamanic Ceremony known to date.
Greater by its universality and by the gathering of 150 representatives of Ancestral Traditions.
A film of the event in English, French and Spanish will be produced by our Circle to carry the word of the shamans present. It will be directed by Yann Le Flochmoën.
An international press conference will be held on Sunday, May 1st, to testify of our wisdom, as for our words to reach far and high.

We lack the financial means to carry out this project, no public no money! Therefore we will appeal to your participatory generosity. May you largely relay this appeal for donations within your networks ! A presentation film is posted online.

My sisters and brothers in humanity we need your help and it is together with great enthusiasm that we will put all our strength at the service of the Work and the success of this extraordinary event! Which is, moreover, in the greatest selflessness, the whole organization team volunteering at 100%.

These money represent a huge and yet insufficient amount to meet the logistics costs and charges incurred by the travel and the accommodation of the 150 participants from the 5 continents. If funds remain available afterwards, they will be used for the 2017 shamanism festival.

We are at a crossroads in the evolution of our humanity
our union is even more necessary than ever.
In traditional culture there is always an exchange,
Here is the one we’re proposing eventhough we guess that your support is selfless.

Spiritual and fraternal friendship!

Customary Chief of the Circle of Wisdom of the Union of Ancestral Traditions
