A Global Movement for World Peace and Unity inspired and led by the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers:

Jyoti will share the story of the vision that brought the grandmothers together and how that vision continues to inspire others globally to stand up for the Earth initiating sustainable projects and actions in communities around the world.

As Grandmother Agnes, Spokesperson for the Council, says:  “We grandmothers have come from far and wide to speak the knowledge we hold inside.  In many languages we have been told it is time to make the right changes for our families,  for the lands we love. We can be the voice for the voiceless. We are at the threshold.  We are going to see change. If we can create the vision in our heart, it will spread.  As bringers of light, we have no choice but to join together. As women of wisdom we cannot be divided. When the condor meets the eagle- thunderbirds come home.”

When the Grandmothers met with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, he told them how important it is to take our prayer into action. Jyoti will share more of how the grandmothers’ prayer stimulates community action and empowers others to take actions that will sustain our Earth and her peoples. Come and share your stories. We can then begin to see how our collective actions are weaving new possibilities!!
