Cultural Gatherings & Initiatives

 

The Prayer Vigil for the Earth, an annual event convened in Washington, D.C. Now in its 13th year, it is a gathering of people from multiple backgrounds, traditions and faiths from around the world. The Vigil is a common ground where people experience different cultures and spiritual traditions, see first-hand what peace looks like, pray for world peace, harmony with nature, and the well being of all creation. The Prayer Vigil is a family gathering. In all indigenous and spiritual traditions, elders are revered and recognized as the wisdom keepers of society. Grandmothers and Grandfathers are needed. We invite senior groups and families to bring your elders to be honored in this sacred circle. We are strengthening our focus on the youth. They are our future, our elders in training.
