The Planet Earth is a gift to each and every one of us. This is an environmental education web site with plenty of Pictures of the Planet Earth.
Sacred Dance, Ceremonial Dance, Song, and prayer, Sweat Lodges, Environmental Action, Environmental Education, Species Extinction, EarthDance Ceremonies, Synchronous Events, Pollution Reports these are all part of the Earthkeeper’s life.
The power of ideas and the power of spiritual involvement with the natural environment move the heart. Earthkeepers can influence the people by helping them to reconnect with the beauty of the Planet Earth. We encourage Environmental activism for preservation of our wildlands and conservation of our resources.
But to touch the heart, we cannot assault the mind. Each of us comes to our relationship with the Earth in our own way and time. Our hope is that through education and ceremony, we, as Earthkeepers, can keep the door open for those who have yet to find that relationship.
We do this by presenting different ways of relating to the Earth and different ways of thinking about our future. We also present information about how our current ideas and ways we relate to the Planet Earth will affect our children and grandchildren.
“There are many with the knowledge of Earthkeepers, but there are few with the hearts of Earthkeepers. ”
“Christians talk about love, but they practice judgment. New Age-ers talk about oneness, but they are the most divisive people I know. And those who practice Native American ways are – often – like both.”
“This is not a right to pray this way. It is a responsibility.”
“Each of us comes to our relationship with the Earth in our own way and time.”
“The Earthkeeper’s way involves us in the experiences of the Earth’s spiritual presence. It is a spiritual practice, not a religion.”
“Earthkeeper ceremonial practice is not just a sweat lodge or a drumming circle or a talking circle or a web of life council, or a medicine wheel ceremony or a pipe ceremony. It is a way of life.”
“The power to change always lies in the present. Drumming, singing, dance all help to strip away the dark smoke of our illusion… it is the illusion of being in the past or future.”
“Many refer to the person who practices the way of the Sacred Pipe as a Pipe Carrier. This is like a title that bestows some sense of authority or greater personal spiritual power. As much as I would like that to be so, I have to tell you one thing before we proceed. Over the last 25 years if there is only one thing I have learned it is that the Pipe Carries me!”

Dear Earth keeper,
I have a special walk with the whitedeer. The whitedeer came to me in sweatlodge
during the fourth round when Grandfather can talk with you. I saw a vision with the whitedeer that forever changed my life. I have been given the inspiration to write stories for children that focus on different species of animals , plants that are endangered. I bring in the spiritual with the practical of what we can do to make a difference. The whitedeer energy has been so strong this week, it led me to to your website. As I was reading, I was amazed…then Grandmother Whitedeer’s comment mirrors exactly what I feel. Thank you for putting the energy and truth of what I feel into physical form. I look forward to more sharing and rejoicing of being with my tribe of people who are here to help the precious voice of our planet be heard. Aho, I am so grateful and amazed by the gift Spirit gave me today, leading me to this site. I leave you in light and joy,

I have been exploring the mountains since i was too young to be doing so. Nature has taught me of many things. Lessons not formed in words. If you seek wisdom stop and listen to the waterfall.

With HeartFelt Gratitude, Love and Prayers of Many Blessings
to You for maintaining and continuing my Dearest most
Beloved Friend, Brother Earthkeeper, John Armbruster’s website
in such a good way.
I first had the good fortune of meeting John soon after I arrived
in Sedona Arizona in the spring of 1990. I would attend the full moon drummings at John’s beautiful medicine wheel on Schnebly
Hill. John had the gift of keeping a circle together in a sacred
manner. When people would ask me to introduce them to a shaman, it was John who was the one I would talk about. He was humble and had no airs, only love and reverence for the Earth Mother. He was my best friend, as I am sure anyone who knew him would say, he always available to me and anyone who was called on him.
I wished to share with you an “Urgent Call from our Earth Mother
to all Earthkeepers and Lightworkers” I have it posted on my website www.astrojourneys.com a link to it on the intro page or astro musings page. I dedicated this to our Earth Mother and Beloved John Armbruster with a link to theearthkeepers.com
Please if you feel it appropriate, put this on your website.
I am presently in Sedona, AZ but will be leaving this sunday 20 May for Glastonbury England where I will be until October 7.
I may not be online much until June. Please if you are able to
email me before this sunday 20 May, I would love to make a heartlink through email.
I will carry the earthkeepers in my heart and soul wherever I journey.
Eternally in Unity and Love, Elizabeth HeartStar Keller

For all of those who were so kind to me while I was in Sedona for John’s memorial service, I thank you. I know it has been years since his passing, believe me I count the days…. he is busy continuing his work for the Earthmother on the other side. Ariel and I feel your presence still. In love and light, Jennifer

I find you people to be total hypocrites of the highest order, do you not use gasoline every day ? your V8 monsters pouring out pollution in enormous quantities ? if you were that concerned for Mother Earth then why do you not give up the internal combustion engine, become vegetarian and stop slaughtering animals, become one with nature, as I am, and without the sound of a drum to be heard, practise what you preach why dont you !!!! you pathetic bunch of fools ..
