KIVA – The Call of the Wisdom Keepers

A message of Hope from the Original Peoples

Thursday July 4th | 8:00pm – 10:30pm CEST | Online (Zoom)

We are very excited to invite you to this first unique online evening with film screening of the impressive documentary KIVA The Call of the Wisdom Keepers and an inspiring dialogue with Elders:

- TOROA APERAHAMA (Maori Elder - New-Zealand)

- CAROLA ESPARZA (Mapuche Ancestry - Chile)

- LAMA TASHI NORBU (Tibet)

Please note that all proceeds from this event are used for covering the basic costs of the organization and for supporting the Elders and the Crowdfunding for the 5 KIVA fires, that will burn on the 5 different continents in 2025. That will create a golden belt of fire around the planet. 25 Widom Keepers will attend this 45 day pilgrimage along the 5 KIVA fires.

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 healing, harmony and the return to the essence of our nature. 

At a time when humanity is confronted with more adversity than ever, this film captures the essence of a unique and ancient ceremony. A ceremony that - after a vision in 1968 - was restored 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!

The KIVA ceremony is 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. 

Because of the moving prayers and the impressive conversations with the Wisdom Keepers – the viewer is invited to reflect upon: how to restore and heal 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 the relationship with our Earth Mother ánd each other!
