Mission Statement:
“Embracing
people of all colors,
races, and beliefs, our
mission is to preserve
and disseminate the
traditional wisdom of
the indigenous elders
and teachers of the
Earth.
We seek to bring
their knowledge to a
modern-day audience at a
time widely considered
critical in history. To this end, the Society
organizes and sponsors
gatherings world-wide
with recognized
indigenous elders and
the interested public;
we prepare mass media
materials and we
organize small group
pilgrimages to sacred
sites around the world. We support other public and
private charities that
are dedicated to similar
goals.”
Dr. Chet Snow,
Executive Director
Brief
Introduction:
The Four
Directions Wisdom Society, Inc. is
a recognized
501(c)(3) charitable and
educational non-profit corporation
that embraces people of all colors,
races, and spiritual traditions who
inhabit our common planet, Mother
Earth. Its purpose is to honor,
preserve and share the
traditional wisdom and spiritual
knowledge of indigenous elders,
teachers &
wisdom-keepers from all cultures
that honor Mother Earth and humanity’s
spiritual connection to the
Cosmos. It seeks to bring these
teachings to a modern-day audience at
what many consider a crucial time in
Earth’s and humanity’s history.
To this end The Society organizes
and/or sponsors educational gatherings
with recognized indigenous elders and
wisdom-keepers, drawn from all of
humanity’s races and peoples open to
the public.
The Society
was incorporated April 27, 2010,
with Dr. Chet Snow, Kallista Snow
and Karen Koebnick, all of Sedona
AZ,
as its first set of officers.
Prior to its founding, these three
individuals had already come
together to organize and
host the first 4
Directions Wisdom Gathering
in Sedona, in May 2007. It was
a life-changing weekend and the
experiences gained from that
gathering led directly to the
Society's formation. The Society
received IRS recognition as a
nonprofit organization three months
after it was founded.
The Four
Directions Wisdom Society, Inc.
now plans another spiritual
gathering of indigenous elders from
different native traditions around
the globe; we will come together
on the island
of Hawaii,
ancestral home of the demigoddess
Pélé, the first week
of June 2012 during the Venus
transit, 100% visible there.
This Aloha Gathering is
called to honor Mother Earth
and to share indigenous
teachings about Venus, its rare
transit across the Sun, and its
significance today. It
will include like-minded people who
will teach and divulge heretofore
hidden knowledge plus join in sacred
ceremonies, preserving this
wisdom for future generations.
Additionally,
the Society calls on all who seek a
positive, sustainable future to join
the Global
Circle of Light 2012 to
support the Elders in Hawaii with a
donation, then unite in local prayer
and sacred ceremony on the day of
the June 5/6 Venus Transit. All
donations are tax-deductible for US
taxpayers. See below to make a
Pay Pal donation.
The
Society will also organize and host
small-group pilgrimages to sacred
sites, both before and after June
2012, working with local peoples to
preserve their common spiritual
traditions. The Society will
also record or sponsor the recording
of sacred ceremonies that otherwise
might be lost. It will write
or support written accounts of such
activities and research common
threads among them to educate all
humanity as Earth crosses the 2012
threshold, the culmination and
turn-over of the 5,200 year
long-count Mayan calendar.
In
connection with these
above-mentioned activities, the 4
Directions Wisdom Society, Inc.
will sponsor educational activities,
both before and after June 2012, so
that as wide a public as possible is
made aware of the spiritual
significance of the June 2012 Venus
transit. This will encourage
them to join the Aloha
Gathering in Hawaii or to
hold simultaneous gatherings and
appropriate ceremonies in their own
locales.
Finally, the Society actively seeks
charitable donations for the travel
and adjunct expenses of those elders
and wisdom-keepers invited to
Hawaii. It plans to donate to
other recognized charitable entities
to preserve and disseminate the
spiritual teachings and ceremonies
that they are willing to share at
this time, considered by many as
critical for the world and humanity.
We
call on all persons and
organizations who share our
vision for a better future for
Mother Earth and the next seven
human generations to join us both in
Hawaii in June 2012 and/or help with
their gifts and sponsorships for
invited elders and
wisdom-keepers.
Together, we can become the
"Ones We are Waiting for".
