Wisdom of the Peace Village Elders -- Documentary Series

2 0 1 2: What Future Do You Want To Energize? - This video is an excerpt from the Wisdom of the Peace Village Elders Documentary Series. Algonquin Elder Mike Bastine delivers a positive and powerful antidote to the misunderstanding and fear that surrounds most messages about the end of the Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012. This video invites each one of us to join the tipping point of consciousness toward co-creating a culture of peace and sustainable living on the planet.

The WISDOM OF THE PEACE VILLAGE ELDERS Documentary Series

Produced by: Mutual Abundance Media

Here’s the challenge: Are we so hypnotized by our steady diet of media-fed horrors, that we’ve despaired of ever achieving the dream of a violence-free world? Or are we ready for the shift from the war path to the peace path? Does anybody even know what peace looks like?

The WISDOM OF THE PEACE VILLAGE ELDERS documentary series provides a rare opportunity to witness Native Elders from North, Central, and South America, exploring how to walk the way of peace and sustainability in a world overrun with paths to war and environmental devastation. At the Peace Village, the indigenous Elders remind us that we are all co-creators of our agreed upon dream / reality. “Change the Dream!” the Elders inspire, calling for us all to reconnect to the cycles of Nature, and to practice compassion-in-action in our daily lives. Only together, moment to moment, can we co-create & energize a future of peace and equanimity on the planet.

Mutual Abundance Media has decided to produce these documentaries as independent films, in order to guard the integrity and freedom of expression of the featured Native Elders. The documentary series is a sacred trust, for the Elders have entrusted us to deliver their message as good medicine for the planet now & for generations to come.

This project is supported by Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo and Sunray Meditation Society.

We are known as the practice lineage. Retreat is when our meditation practice becomes a part of us, down to the bone. We remove all distractions and focus solely on specific practices to see the nature of our minds and reality. In the time of the founding of the Drikung Lineage 150.000 people went into retreat. Two retreats are highlighted in this newsletter:


Spend New Years with us! As we close this year and start anew, we invite you to gather perspective. Dharma teachings invite us to contemplate the immanence of death and to meditate with impermanence and our fragility in mind. With ample practice time, Turning the Wheel of Time; Dec 27 - Jan 3, will focus on readings that familiarize us with the aging and dying process. This retreat is suitable for both beginning and advanced practitioners and will be an intimate in-house event.
