We thought folks might want to remember John’s Vision of our Earthkeeper’s Dance for Peace:

 ”The Earthkeepers Dance for Peace is an unusual chance for people to create ceremony which can change the world.  It is an opportunity for ordinary people to do extraordinary things by claiming their birthright as keepers of the sacredness of the Earth.  An Earthkeeper Ceremony is an act of sanctifying the land with our prayers, our love, and our gratitude.

It is not a small thing we do.  If we as a people completely lose our spiritual connection to the land, we lose an important aspect of our humanness.  We lose a way of being in this world with one another as a village of humans loving life and loving each other, by loving the divine gift of life on this planet.  This work is supported by the prophesies of Earthkeepers around the world and throughout time.

Even a few keeping this connection alive, are keep it alive for all.  Someday our descendants will look back and say:  “There were some who knew … they took the responsibility for parts of the human experience that most had, unknowingly, turned their backs on … we are thankful to them for their foresight …”

We invite you to join us in this keeping of life, keeping of spirit, in this celebration of mind, heart, and human passion.  Make the joyful noise.  Raise your voice.  Call the spirits of the land to join us as we dance into this mysterious future together.” 
John Armbruster

We miss you my friend…….and we carry-on the Earthkeeper Ceremonies.

As you said…Hugs All Around,
