Rupert sat with and learned from traditional medicine men at a young age through all night ceremonies. He was then educated at Haskell Institute in Lawrence, Kansas, where he started to learn from other tribes. In 1979, Rupert met a Lakota Spiritual Man in Oregon who introduced him to the sweat lodge and to his first Sundance in Green Grass, South Dakota. From there on he continued to be connected to sweat lodges, powwows, Sun Dances, Native American Church and his tribe’s traditional ceremonies. In 1999, Rupert went with five tribes to Estonia to share his spiritual ways through the sweat lodge and tepee. Then he started to go solo to present on native spiritual teachings. Rupert has been to Estonia, Finland, Norway, Copenhagen, Poland, Germany, Switzerland and India. He continues to make his pilgrimage every year and enjoys the way of life he lives to this day. He will be sharing Tohono O’odham teachings at Aniwa Gathering June 5-9. #aniwa #aniwagathering #sacredfire #rainbowwarriors #ancientwisdom #indigenous #knowledge #ritual #firstnations #honoryourancestors #sacredceremonies #wisdomkeepers #nyc #firstnations #ancientrituals #healing #traditionalmusic #tohonooodham #nativeamerican
The name “Dogon” comes from the word “dogou”, which means land. The Dogon are considered the landlords of Africa (Meritah) and their culture aims at preserving the Earth and everything that lives on it. The Dogon culture has remained uninterrupted since the time of the Pharaohs. Nabas (spiritual professionals) specialise in spiritual knowledge including geomancy, astronomy, etc. They are also linked to the enigmatic Nabatean people mentioned in historical texts. Their mission is dictated by the Divinities and Ancestors of the shrines they maintain. The Dogon had extensive knowledge about red and white blood cells, atoms, the DNA pattern, Sirius B, C and it’s orbit and more hundreds of years before scientists found out about their existence. They will be teaching spiritual practices and sharing their incredible knowledge at Aniwa Gathering June 5-9 📷: Kelly Daniels #aniwa #aniwagathering #sacredfire #rainbowwarriors #ancientwisdom #indigenous #knowledge #ritual #firstnations #honoryourancestors #sacredceremonies #wisdomkeepers #nyc #firstnations #ancientrituals #healing #traditionalmusic #dogon
