The Return of the Ancestors Gathering
Northern Arizona April 18-28, 2009

A historic International multicultural gathering and sacred pilgrimage welcomes Indigenous Elders and Future Wisdom Keepers representing the seven continents of Mother Earth, beginning Earth Day weekend, April 18-28, 2009 throughout Northern Arizona. The intention is to unite and share their visions and prophesized ceremonies of 500 years of peace and harmony for Mother Earth and all humanity.

The goal of the Institute for Cultural Awareness is to sponsor 72 or more global spiritual/cultural leaders and at least 28 youth council leaders from around the world. These Wisdom Keepers will share a harvest of harmonic wisdom and understandings that will enable the world to fulfill the prophecies of the ancestors. This gathering's commitment to ceremony, as a focal point, offers young spiritual men and women of the world the privilege to witness councils sharing their original teachings and wisdom from the ancestors; fulfilling our spiritual purpose, thus birthing clear decisions and manifesting a conduit of hope for the future wisdom keepers of the world.

Our goal is to raise 1.5 million dollars for the Return of the Ancestors Gathering. To learn more about how you can support ICA and the preparations for this gathering, please feel free to contact ICA directly at 928-646-3000 or visit our website: www.ica8.org
