Event Highlights
​​
​
🌙 The Lunar Voice Is Rising
From the belly of the Earth to the shimmer of the Stars,
a whisper returns…
The Lunar Voice—the voice of the Water, the Womb, the Wind—
calling us to remember.
She invites and opens the soul-gates of memory and meaning.
This is a weekend of remembrance.
Rise into rhythm with the original instructions.
Sit with those who preserve the seeds of wisdom
Listen to the ancient songs that echo in our bones.
🔥 Friday, May 16
Opening the Sacred: Land, Lineage, and Greetings
6:30 PM – 9:30 PM | Register Here for Friday
​
Ceremony begins where breath meets Earth.
We gather in reverence to the spirits of land and lineage.
With open palms and humbled hearts, we acknowledge the ancestors of this place.
Uqualla, emissary of the Havasupai, calls in the directions,
summons the Elemental Grandmothers and Grandfathers,
and places the prayer at the foot of the Fire.
Two sacred drums—Luna and Sol—will be brought to life,
opening the four quadrants through the rhythm of ancestral pulse.
🌀 Let the drums bring a remembrance of the Heartbeat of Mother Earth

The Living Oratory: Echoes of Ancestral Knowing
9:30 AM – 12:00 PM
The oral tradition is alive with the voices of those who walked before, moving with breath, gesture, and pause that speak louder than words.
Here, the speakers from the heart arise:
Uqualla, Adam “Yellowbird” DeArmon,
Reuben Monroe Saufkie Sr., Gill Aguillaro, Erica Ohliger, Kayko Earth, and others.
Each offering is a strand in the tapestry of memory,
braided with love, unity, guidance, and prophecy.
🌀 The oratory holds the sacred medicine for remembrance.

It has always been there, waiting for our return.

rooted in the truth of the ancient.
