TRAVEL & CEREMONY FUND

Honor the Elders. Preserve the Wisdom. Support the Journey.

HELP BRING WISDOM TO THE CIRCLE

This Gathering is a rare opportunity for people from around the world to gather in prayer, learning, healing, & community with respected Elders, Wisdom Keepers, Spiritual Leaders, & Cultural Guardians from many traditions.

Each year, these remarkable teachers travel great distances to share their wisdom, stories, prayers, ceremonies, & life experiences with our community. Many journey from remote regions & travel internationally to be with us.

Your donation helps make these sacred encounters possible.

While ticket sales help offset a portion of event expenses, they do not cover the full cost of bringing so many Elders & Wisdom Keepers together in one place. This fundraising campaign helps ensure that those who dedicate their lives to serving humanity can participate in the gathering safely, comfortably, & with the support they deserve.

WHY THIS FUND MATTERS

Many of our invited guests are respected Elders who have spent decades preserving cultural traditions, ancestral teachings, & sacred knowledge. As they travel to share these gifts, we feel a responsibility to care for them with dignity & respect.

Your contribution helps us provide:

  • International & Domestic Travel (flights, ground transportation, & airport transfers)

  • Lodging, Meals, & Hospitality

  • Support Companions & Caretakers (who travel with Elders)

  • Accessibility Accommodations

  • Medical Support & Emergency Care Resources

  • Event Operations (ensuring a safe & successful gathering)


By donating, you help us create a safe & supportive environment where our Elders & Wisdom Keepers can focus on sharing their wisdom rather than worrying about logistical challenges.

EVERY GIFT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Whether your contribution is large or small, every donation helps us bridge the gap & cover the true cost of hosting a gathering of this scale.

Your generosity helps ensure that these teachings, stories, traditions, & sacred conversations continue to be shared with future generations.

Together, we can honor those who have spent their lives carrying wisdom forward.

  • The well-being of our Elders, Wisdom Keepers, Staff, Volunteers, & Attendees is one of our highest priorities.

    In previous years, unforeseen medical and dental emergencies have occurred during our time together. To prepare for these situations, we maintain emergency support resources and ensure medical assistance is available if needed.

  • Ticket sales help support the gathering, but they do not fully cover the expenses associated with bringing together a global circle of Elders, Wisdom Keepers, presenters, staff, and support teams.
