Join Us in Atlanta November 9-11, 2012
Turbulent times inspire us to live differently. Ancient Wisdom Rising introduces a new way of being that is just, sustainable and full of joy and meaning. This new way is actually not so new. It's the old way, the indigenous way, of living in relationship with the earth and sky, fire and water, plants and animals, family and community. Once, we were all indigenous. We all lived in relationship with the sacredness alive in the world. We can again.	The late Grandma Bertha Grove, who joined us in Joshua Tree 2009.
Consecrating the sacred fire Joshua Tree 2009	Through the wisdom of the earliest traditions, Ancient Wisdom Rising can introduce you to this way of being. Elders from the world's four directions relate experiences and traditional knowledge in three days of presentations, ceremonies, stories and participatory workshops.
Each elder knows the importance of keeping their wisdom and knowledge alive. In these times, it is essential to the health of the earth and to our children's futures. This is powerful work. To create a safe and grounded container for our time together, we light and consecrate a ritual fire that will burn day and night, tended by initiated Fire Keepers. Several of our sessions are held around the fire beneath our large fire tent. Others will be held in meeting rooms at the Lodge at Simpsonwood, a.conference center in Atlanta, GA	Consecrating the sacred fire Joshua Tree 2009
Drumming and dancing Joshua Tree 2009	The gathering also offers opportunities for music, meditations, council circles and time in nature. And night time is the best time for dancing around a fire. Ancient Wisdom Rising brings together hundreds of people who want to go deeper--who are ready to listen, learn and celebrate the change that is stirring in the world.
You'll want to be one of them. Join us November 9-11 at the Lodge at Simpsonwood in Atlanta, Georgia.
