Aniwa Gathering 2024
Working in reciprocity with Indigenous elders, sharing ancient wisdom and supporting communities.
Join us to remember the ways of the ancestors and learn to weave the sacred into your way of life.
By cultivating a deeper connection with oneself, nature, and spirit, we contribute to creating a more beautiful story for our Mother Earth and future generations.
'Waters of Peace’.
This year, our prayer is in honor of the memory of water and its incredible ability to carry information. We will cultivate a current of prayer for world peace and the health of our waters and nations. At the heart of the Aniwa Gathering, a sacred water altar will be created, where elders will add samples from sacred springs near their homes. Over the four days of the Gathering, the elders will infuse these waters with prayers. As the event concludes, participants will be invited to carry a portion of these blessed waters back to their local waterways, allowing our collective prayers to ripple far and wide.
