"Being As One" New Mexico 2018
'Being As One', May 2018. Created in honoring of the first 'Gathering for Humanity' in Santa Fe, N.M. The shield has been born during my stay at the Gathering for Humanity, Galisteo,New Mexico, May 2018. It was a great honor to having been invited by Grandmother Flordemayo with the other Grandmothers. And just before the invitation I had received a Calling of my Inner-Guidance: "To creating a Shield in honor of Grandmother Flordemayo and The Gathering for Humanity and for All" No feathers were allowed to be imported into the US, or out of the Netherlands. Grandmother has sent out a Call to all Four Directions and so many people answered by sending feathers beads and more to 'The Path'. When I arrived in Estancia, a pile of feather-packages was waiting for me. After having offered a small ceremony to give thanks and to welcome the Birdspirits I could start creating the Shield right away. I am feeling deeply blessed to have been part of This Global Gathering and create this true Co-Creation.
The Shield is permanently to be visited for prayer in the Chi-Centre, Galisteo, N.M.
