Past Wisdom Journeys
Dear Friends,
I have thought of you so often since my last newsletter and am happy to
be in contact again. I feel we need to do all we can at this difficult
time on the earth, each one of us in our own way, to bring healing,
harmony and peace into our lives, country and on the planet. I am
leaving for Ecuador on June 9th after showing my new film World Wheel,
One Woman's Pilgrimage for Global Peace at the EarthWays Foundation in
Malibu, California June 3rd at 7:30 pm (email me if you need
directions).
I will be taking people on a pilgrimage to the Andes, July 7th, and then into the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador, July 12th. I will continue on into Brazil, the next country of my second World Wheel. This will start in Iquitos at the headwaters of the Amazon River. Here I will bury an urn filled with sacred objects, which was created in Tibetan Monasteries, to bring harmony and healing to the earth.
It was made under the direction of Charok Rinpoche, a Lama who lived in a cave in Nepal his whole life until he passed away at the age of 107. He gave these vases to Cynthia Jurs, a Buddhist teacher, in answer to her question, "How can we heal our planet?" Instructions were also given to bury the vases at strategic places on the earth. In ceremony, I was given one of these Earth Treasure Vases.
I encourage you to come on pilgrimage as a way of seeding peace in ourselves and on our planet.

In peace,
Vijali Hamilton, Earth Artist, Poet, Healer: From North Amerca, Vijali
brings the vision of the Eagle. We will join her as she creates her
World Wheels from elements of nature. These environments become sacred
space for ceremony in order to restore our equilibrium and release our
innate wisdom. Vijali has a Master's Degree in fine arts.
She spent 10 years as a Hindu nun in the Vedanta Convent. In 1975, Vijali had a vision of all life as one borderless ocean of energy-consciousness. In a dream she was shown the form of the World Wheel in which she would circle the planet creating stone sculptures and community ritual performance. It has now become an artistic forum for global understanding. She has dedicated the rest of her life to bringing this vision of peace into our world.
