Charging Our Internal Waters Global Prayer Ceremony
RSVP and we will verify whether you can attend or not (limited space). Join A Wisdom Keepers Delegation and the Center for Earth Ethics or a sacred, Indigenous-led prayer ceremony with A Wisdom Keepers Delegation. Together, we will unify in prayer, bringing waters from our territories into one vessel that will hold the blessings of humanity. These waters will then travel with the Delegation to Brazil, where they will remain in ceremony throughout the month of November at COP30 — grounding global climate efforts in ancestral prayer and collective responsibility.
