Note: All proceeds of this event will go to support the community work of the attending Wisdom Keepers and will also support the Crowdfund campaign for the 5 KIVA Fires. In 2025 there will be a 45 day pilgrimage at 5 KIVA fires on 5 different continents. This will create a ‘golden thread of fire’ around the planet. 

In a world that is becoming increasingly removed from nature and seems out of balance, there is great need and longing for a different perspective, a perspective of reconnection, harmony and restoring the balance with nature and all living beings.

This film captures the essence of a unique and ancient ceremony and a collective ‘Call’ from the Original Peoples. They have never lost touch with nature and with their Ancient Wisdom they can inspire us to a more connected and sustainable way of life! Wisdom that has been known for centuries, but has been lost to the general public. 

KIVA is an old ‘lost’ ceremony that - after a vision in 1968 - was revived and where leaders of indigenous peoples from all over the world have been uniting for 30 years for Peace, Equality and Reconnection with Mother Earth!

Because of the touching images and the impressive conversations with the Wisdom Keepers – the viewer is invited to reflect upon: how to restore our relationship with the Earth. ‘Because she is crying and is calling her children home!’

It is a final call and invitation from the Indigenous Peoples, which brings hope to all and provides tools on how we can restore balance and harmony!
