A WEEKEND GATHERING WITH CHIEF PHIL LANE JR.

Friday Evening/Saturday: November 4th and 5th

Time:  7-9 p.m Nov. 4th & 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov 5th

Location:  Sacred Lands, 1700 Park St. N., St. Petersburg, Florida 33710

The Gathering

This gathering will focus on understanding and utilizing the Four Worlds guiding principles and development processes for healing ourselves, our communities and our relationship with Mother Earth. These Guiding Principles and development processes, for Building a Harmonious and Sustainable World, emerged from an extensive process of consultation with Indigenous spiritual, cultural and community leaders, spanning more than four decades.

The Four World’s model of human and community transformation is rooted in the concerns of hundreds of Indigenous Elders, Spiritual Leaders and Community Members, as well as in the best thinking of many non-Indigenous scholars, researchers and human and community development practitioners. Participants at this gathering will experience these principles via presentation and sharing circles and will learn how to use the Four World’s principles to affect personal, social, political, economic and cultural change. It is time to protect what we cherish and this gathering will present a way to achieve healing on multiple levels.
