ava bird's SUMMER OF SACRED LOVE! July 31, 2010

The Center for Sacred Studies with the Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers and Ava Bird proudly present:
THE SUMMER OF SACRED LOVE!
a unique community gathering...
saturday july 31st
5pm-sunset
13550 church st
guerneville, ca

A very special community gathering celebrating the grand opening of the center for sacred studies in guerneville, ca.
A brand new space dedicated to the evolution of consciousness by honoring and sustaining indigenous ways of life, the respect and honor of Mother Earth, peace and unity through diverse spiritual practices, prayer and meditation services, reawakening ancestral wisdom in the face of severe divisive patriarchal and insane corporate destruction, solidarity with MOther Earth and Her inhabitants using cooperation, community, interconnectedness, hope and inspiration to rebalance and heal the injustices and past violences forced upon our sacred lands.
Through ceremony, cross-cultural spiritual practices, accessing the Divine Feminine and expansion of consciousness, the visionary founders are reawakening and lighting the path for the next 7 generations and in all corners of the universe. Through a responsible revolution in values, passing down of indigenous rituals and traditions and ways to preserve our culture, we seek to organize and unify women who heal the planet, share natural healing methods and medicinal herbs, sponsor elders who hold ancient healing practices with sacred plants. In building solid alliances to rescue our planet, save our communities and sustain life on this planet, these visionary women elders are bravely, vigorously confronting oppressors and sharing prophecies on the urgency of releasing past patterns of war and aggression, paternal hierarchies, genocidal occupations and theft of Mother Earths precious resources. Through gathering, sharing and releasing, the original tribal societies consulted the elder grandmothers counsel as the final authority on vital community issues and are once again becoming the new wise voice reawakening the spirit of cooperation to reach justice, peace and abundance for all.
please join us! fun for the whole family!
