The world is changing faster than we know , disturbed by the way we have polluted the Earth. Humanity has one chance to change, and the time is now. Before we can offer any solutions to the world , we need to change ourselves. But how ? Our market is over saturated with self help gurus , online classes , and ceremonies. Aniwa feels that the only guru in this world is nature, so we must listen to her. This is why we bring 40+ leaders at great cost from the furthest stretches of the world together for four days of cultural sharings. The leaders we bring are from unbroken lineages of ancient wisdom , dating back thousands of thousands years, before the earth had been polluted. They are the personification of nature , the voice of the rivers, the mountains , the air , the fire. Aniwa’s mission is to amplify the message of nature through these leaders to bring it to those that feel the call to listen , to remember and to join us as we help shepard the earth back into balance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #aniwa #aniwagathering #sacredfire #rainbowwarriors #ancientwisdom #indigenous #knowledge #ritual #firstnations #honoryourancestors #sacredceremonies #wisdomkeepers #nyc #firstnations #ancientrituals #healing #traditionalmusic
The drum represents the heartbeat of Mother Earth. The drum beats and the beats of human hearts, when once aligned, are in the flow and rhythm of all life; the universe and in meter to the Creator. To align the pace of one’s heart to the pace of the drum brings soothing and relaxation when in the flow and rhythm of the universe. #aniwa #aniwagathering #sacredfire #rainbowwarriors #ancientwisdom #indigenous #knowledge #ritual #firstnations #honoryourancestors #sacredceremonies #wisdomkeepers #nyc #firstnations #ancientrituals #healing #traditionalmusic #sacreddrum

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
