KIVA RETREAT • PILGRAMAGE OF ELDERS

AboUT

Uniting Elders from Around the Globe

We are excited to announce a pioneering event—the first ever Kiva Gathering in Australia, a spiritual and cultural milestone that will unite over 25 esteemed elders from diverse indigenous traditions worldwide. Hosted by Roots of the Earth, this event seeks to harness the collective wisdom and spiritual energy of these leaders through the sacred Kiva ceremony. 

We will bring together spiritual leaders for a continuous exchange of wisdom and spiritual practices. Through shared ceremonies, we will not only honor the traditions of our ancestors but also forge new pathways for peace and understanding among different cultures.

🌞What is a Kiva?🌞

A Kiva is a circular sanctuary, an excavation in the heart of Mother Earth, open to the heavens and graced with altars for the four cardinal points and a central fire. This sacred space enhances the prayers and intentions of the participants, where shamans and elders, acting as mediators between the physical and spiritual worlds, gather in unity across cultural and continental divides.

🌞Our Vision🌞

For more than 40 years, Roots of the Earth has facilitated Kiva ceremonies across America, Europe, and Asia, creating a vibrant tapestry of indigenous wisdom. These ceremonies involve powerful expressions of dance, prayer, and chants that amplify energies toward a common purpose, fostering remarkable harmony with the spiritual world. In Australia, we aim to expand this spiritual lineage, involving new voices and extending our global community.

🌞Join Us🌞

Contribute to the first Kiva Gathering in Australia and be part of a life-changing event that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries. Help us turn this vision into reality, where the fire of the Kiva becomes a beacon of hope and transformation for all of humanity.

Your support will enable these revered elders to impart their wisdom on a global stage, promoting peace, environmental stewardship, and deep respect for our shared planet. Every contribution and donation brings us closer to a world interconnected through respect, love, and spiritual solidarity.

Kids 0-5 are welcome to join for free. We have a special reduced ticket price for children from 6-16.

With all our love 

The Kiva Gathering Australia Team
