Greetings!

Originating over 25 years ago, the annual FLINT HILLS WISDOM KEEPERS GATHERING will take place April 27-30, 2012, at Council Grove, Kansas.  Activities begin Friday evening, ending Sunday evening with an option to stay until Monday morning.  A 1-day pass is offered along with discounts for students and early deposit possibilities.  

5 Native American Elders and Presenters gather to share traditions and insights.  The Elders will lead us in talks, discussions, native drumming, singing and storytelling, activities and ceremonies they feel moved by Spirit to share.  We invite you to join us in this opportunity to share with the 2012 Wisdom Keepers Gathering Elders from the following nations:

1)  Lloyd Elm - Ganunsasay (New House) - Onondaga;     2) Mike Bastine - Algonquin;     3) Alden Naranjo - Southern Ute;     4) Della Romero - Pueblo/Ute;     5) Minisa Crumbo Halsey - Wabaksekwe (Dawn Woman) - Citizen Band Potawatomi/Muscogee Creek

Two noted features include a guided walk across the grounds with Master Dowser, David Yarrow, where he will reveal the land's subtle spiritual anatomy,  and a screening of the 13 Grandmothers film, "For the Next 7 Generations".  The gathering takes place at White Memorial Camp, with comfortable lodging on Council Grove Lake.  See photos on our website.
